  • 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...

  • Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

    Creator:
    Walker, Anthony S.
    Abstract:
    Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

  • Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

    Creator:
    Panahi, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

  • 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....

  • From work-first to learn first : navigating educational choices among TANF recipients through the lens of possible selves and stigma

    Creator:
    Jones, Terese D.
    Abstract:
    Individuals who are parents and students on TANF experience challenges accessing and persisting in higher education. This study explored the experiences of TANF recipients who are navigating a return to higher education and the impact of college on how they construct a future self. Two theoretical frameworks were used to...

  • 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...

  • Numerical Modeling of Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing

    Creator:
    Sobhani, Samaneh
    Abstract:
    Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP) is a widely recognized powder metallurgy manufacturing process to produce near-net-shape and net-shape components. During general PM-HIP processes the metal powders are filled within a capsule (die), heated and loaded with high pressure simultaneously, and solidified to form the final product. Due to the...
