Estimating absence

Creator:: Kincaid, Thomas M.
Abstract:: The problem addressed is absence of a class of objects in a finite set of objects, which is investigated by considering absence of a species and absence in relation to a threshold. Regarding absence of a species, we demonstrate that the assessed probability of absence of the class of objects...

Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

Creator:: Kincaid, Joshua J.
Abstract:: The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...

Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

Creator:: Severns, Paul M.
Abstract:: Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
Abstract:: Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

Space-time scales of temperature variability in the seasonal thermocline of Lake Tahoe

Creator:: Brubaker, John Merrill
Abstract:: Thermal structure in the seasonal thermocline at Lake Tahoe was investigated through the analysis of vertical temperature profiles taken in the upper 70 m during late summer stratification. Different ranges of horizontal and temporal scales were sampled in each of three subsets of finestructure profiles: (1) a three-week sequence at...

The influence of selected supplementary materials on standardized science achievement scores

Creator:: Frieske, Robert John
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to determine if the use of selected supplementary instructional materials, in the form of either computer assisted instruction or additional readings and worksheet presentations, could influence test scores relating to science achievement for fifth grade students, and (2) to determine whether...

An integrated approach to engineering curricula improvement with multi-objective decision modeling and linear programming

Creator:: Shea, John E.
Abstract:: The structure of engineering curricula currently in place at most colleges and universities has existed since the early 1950's, and reflects an historical emphasis on a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering science. However, there is often not a close match between elements of the traditional engineering education, and...

Computational Investigations of Transition Metal Catalyses and Amorphous Metal Oxides : Accelerating Scientific Discovery Through Automation

Creator:: Mustard, Thomas J. L.
Abstract:: Automation of computational chemistry, while only an engineering feat, has the potential to accelerating computational research be removing all by the science. The work in this thesis mainly discusses fundamental understanding of complex chemical systems. What is not obvious are the numerous tasks necessary for this fundamental understanding. Under the...
