    Creator:
    Simon, Cheyanne M.
    Abstract:
    In the 1960s and 1970s, women in the workplace were often passed over for promotion, not given jobs, or assigned part-time work, because employers, often men, believed that a woman’s role at home was more dominating than her potential as an employee. It was often assumed that working women were...

  • Soil Property Effects on Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) within William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

    Creator:
    Day, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites (Field 29 and 8N) within William L....

  • Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

    Creator:
    Tuinstra, Naomi A.
    Abstract:
    In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States.

  • Adaptive coronagraphy using a digital micromirror array

    Creator:
    Hermens, Bradley
    Abstract:
    Coronagraphs have been used on telescopes for many years to block out bright sources in the sky to allow nearby objects to be resolved. A digital micromirror array (DMA) can be used in the focal plane of a telescope to serve as an adaptive coronagraph. The DMA can be configured...

  • A sociological investigation of smartphones and community

    Creator:
    Yee, Michael J. C.
    Abstract:
    The smartphone is changing the way individuals interact with one another in society. Given the instant accessibility and multitude of socially iconic features, the contemporary handheld device grants users an unprecedented level of connectedness. However, despite the new breadth of access, perhaps the depth of the resulting social networks is...

  • Use of a digital micromirror array as a configurable mask in optical astronomy

    Creator:
    Gilliam, Shawn
    Abstract:
    High resolution images of a dim companion in a binary star system can be obtained using a Digital Micromirror Array (DMA) as an optical mask. Imaging can be problematic because the intense light from the main star can saturate the detector and leave the companion unnoticed. Placement of the DMA...

  • A Comparative Study of Non-Normal Distributions in Continuous Dropout

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that novel continuous dropout methods can be viewed as a Bayesian interpretation of model parameters, though most such studies have shown results using normal distributions. As the posterior distributions over neural network nodes and parameters are intractable, given that they are a result of artificial construction...
