Oregon Ballot Measure 97 is a contentious measure on the Oregon 2016 ballot that seeks
to raise taxes on corporations with sales over 25 million dollars within the state of
Oregon. Predictably, there has been a considerable amount of dialogue with the public as
well as lobbying among elites to...
Loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate and land-use change may have implications for pollination services. Disruption to phenological synchronicity or a reduction in the overlap in species distributions of plants and their pollinators may reduce floral resources to pollinators, forcing them to move farther distances. If pollinators...
Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...
Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...
We examine a discrete-time quantum walk with two-step memory for a particle on a one-
dimensional infinite space. The walk is defined with a four-state memory space analogous to the
two-state coin space commonly used in discrete time quantum walks, and a method is presented
for calculating the time evolution...
