The impact of microclimate variation on budburst phenology within a mature Douglas-fir tree (Pseudostuga menziesii)

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...

Innovative Experimental Methods in Human-Robot Interaction

Creator:: Wadgaonkar, Chinmay P.
Abstract:: User studies in human-robot interaction and social robotics in general involve human participants and their reactions, observations and expectations of robots. This thesis presents two innovative experimental methods aimed at gaining access to high-stakes social data not typically collectable with traditional user studies. The Actor Method provides access to data...

Expressive Motion in Simple Robotics

Creator:: Berger, Jaden E.
Abstract:: This thesis follows two studies performed with simple robots. The first follows a robot interacting with eight improvisers to create scenes and perform five isolated gestures (towards, away, sideways, spin, and circle) for interpretation. The second follows a group of three robots performing the same five isolated gestures at two...

Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots

Creator:: Bernasconi, Abigail A.
Abstract:: Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of...

Characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein and the Binding to Different Sections of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome

Creator:: Pinckney, Seth H.
Abstract:: The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is known to play an essential part of the virus’ functions. The N protein can protect and package the large 29,903 nucleotide genomic RNA whilst also interacting with structural membrane protein M and the spike protein S....

Depression classification of the patients in meta-analyses studies affects the efficacy of St. John's wort

Creator:: Ovrebo, Heather E.
Abstract:: Eight studies from a meta-analysis on St. John's wort by Klaus et. al. (1996) were analyzed according to the severity of depression manifest by their patients. The studies were chosen according to inclusion criteria: 1) the study was random, 2) the study compared St. John's wort to a placebo or...

Exploring the functional effects of Leukemia-promoting natural mutations in the tumor suppressor protein, BCL11B

Creator:: Wisner, Heather
Abstract:: Thymocytes, cells of the thymus gland, undergo developmental steps that enable them to properly mature into T-cells. Errors in gene expression may lead to improper maturation and potentially mass proliferation of dysfunctional thymocytes, a hallmark of leukemia or lymphoma. BCL11B is a tumor suppressor and transcriptional regulatory protein that is...

The Management Control System in a Growing Family Firm

Creator:: Henderson, Kali L.
Abstract:: Many firms start off as small family businesses which are controlled through the culture imprinted on employees by the founder. As the business grows, family owners and the executives that they hire, face a dilemma – how do they manage the trade-off between wanting to control the business in order...

Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

Creator:: Coe, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...
