  • Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Health Service Utilization during the Postpartum Period among Low-income Women in Oregon

    Creator:
    Pradhan, Satyasandipani
    Abstract:
    Background: Access to and effective utilization of healthcare services during the postpartum period is essential in preventing and managing health risks among women after childbirth, ensuring a smooth transition to motherhood, and promoting long-term health outcomes for women and their families. Low-income Medicaid women and those belonging to minority race/ethnicity...

  • Corpus-Based Studies on Pregnancy

    Creator:
    Mullen, Alyson
    Abstract:
    The pregnancy and postpartum periods are full of major life transitions. So often, the focus of the literature is about the unborn baby and physical changes a woman experiences throughout this timeframe. Many sources often overlook women’s personal experiences in the perinatal period. Despite an increase in perinatal mood and...

  • Unoccupied aircraft systems in forest monitoring applications

    Creator:
    Barker, Matthew I.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) have become increasingly affordable and straightforward to incorporate in monitoring applications of forested ecosystems. This shift has facilitated interest in using these tools to monitor aspects of forest ecosystems including vegetation health, forest structure and composition, and potential habitat provided by these systems....

  • Learning-based Techniques for Fast and Robust Motion Planning

    Creator:
    Chow, Scott
    Abstract:
    Motion planning is a cornerstone of autonomous robots, enabling robots to safely and efficiently perform tasks such as package delivery, infrastructure inspection, and manipulation. However, as the field of robotics matures, robotic systems are being developed that (1) are challenging to analytically model, (2) require computationally expensive model-based controllers, and...

  • Action Segmentation in Videos: Deep Models, Prediction Diffusion, and Deep-Temporal Augmentations

    Creator:
    Aziere, Nicolas
    Abstract:
    This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...

  • Determination of magnetoelastic parameters in magnetic thin films from FMR spectra

    Creator:
    Masood, Khalid I.
    Abstract:
    The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomenon serves as a sensitive probe of the effective internal fields in a magnetic material. FMR spectroscopy has consequently become a well-established technique, extensively employed in assessing material properties such as magnetic anisotropy, Landé g-factor, damping parameter, and the magnetoelastic constants of magnetic materials. Determining these...

  • Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

    Creator:
    Nelson, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

  • Advancing Spatial Data Engineering and Analysis: Integrative Approaches with GIS, Statistical Modelling, and Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Krivova, Maria
    Abstract:
    Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...

  • Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

    Creator:
    Gordon, Michael I.
    Abstract:
    Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

  • The treatment of criminal recidivism : corpus-based analyses

    Creator:
    Texidor Maldonado, Carlos Obed
    Abstract:
    The dehumanization of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and marginalized communities does not end once an individual is released from an institution. The dehumanization process is kept alive with ineffective community supervision and the stigma associated with an individual’s incarnation history. Evidence of this continual dehumanization process is reflected...
