  • Evidence of work engagement and its link to performance in lean manufacturing implementation

    Creator:
    Fairman, Zachary J.
    Abstract:
    Work engagement is demonstrated when employees are involved with, committed to, enthusiastic, and passionate about their work. The goal of this study was to summarize relevant information on work engagement, produce a working coding system to identify evidence of work engagement, and discuss the implications of work engagement on an...

  • Soil Fire Ecology: Assessing Wildfire Severity Impacts on Pacific Northwest Forest Soil Carbon

    Creator:
    Fleetwood, Shea
    Abstract:
    Pacific Northwest temperate rainforests are anticipated to experience increasingly frequent and severe wildfires in the foreseeable future due to climate change, increased fuel loads, and deforestation. Soil, underlying these forests, is the largest terrestrial carbon (“C”) reservoir. Fire disturbance influences soil C persistence, the timeframe and magnitude of which remain...

  • The Role of Formulas in Students' Solution Strategies in regard to Combinatorics

    Creator:
    Gordon, Cheyenne M.
    Abstract:
    There are many reasons toward why students withhold such negative mindsets toward the subject of mathematics. This thesis builds upon previously conducted research concerning affect and confidence in mathematical problem solving, confidence that students exhibit about themselves, and combinatorial thinking and activity.

  • Embedded Reachability for Autonomous Racecar

    Creator:
    Jewell, Nathaniel C.
    Abstract:
    Reachability analysis enables the safety assurance of control systems despite uncertain initial conditions and control inputs, and can be an important component to run on-board an autonomous system. This thesis explores the characteristics of reachability analysis with different algorithmic configurations and runtime parameters running onboard the F1Tenth 1/10th-scale autonomous racing...

  • Exploring maize pollen with microscopy: confocal, fluorescence and time-lapse imaging

    Creator:
    Hartman, Rogue D. J.
    Abstract:
    Pollen, the male product of the flower, is a crucial component in plant reproduction, as it transmits the sperm cells to the female structures, enabling fertilization and subsequent seed production. A major transition of the pollen life cycle, triggered upon pollination of female floral tissue, is from a dormant pollen...

  • Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

    Creator:
    Meeker, Alissa R.
    Abstract:
    There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    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...

    Duvall, Andrew Kenichi
    Abstract:
    The population of minority groups is on the rise in the US, yet still minorities are not proportionally represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Of these minorities there are 4 races/ethnicities that are vastly under represented: Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians/Native Alaskans, and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders. For the US to...

  • Describing Tsunami Inundation and Debris Motion using Optical Measurement Methods in a Large-Scale Wave Basin

    Creator:
    Rueben, Matthew Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of two papers in manuscript format. The first paper presents optical measurements of tsunami inundation through an urban waterfront in a laboratory wave basin. The physical model was constructed at 1:50 scale and was an idealization of the town of Seaside, Oregon. The paper presents an analysis...

  • Investigate Novel Inkjet Printing of High Performance Silica-based Nanostructured Anti-Reflection Coatings

    Creator:
    Holzgang, Harrison Robert
    Abstract:
    Anti-reflective coatings are applied to substrates to increase the transmittance of light in the visible range of wavelength 400 – 800 nm through the substrate by changing the refractive index at the surface and directing more light through the substrate rather than being reflected away. This project investigated the possibility...
