  • The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

    Creator:
    Hill, Charles
    Abstract:
    Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

  • Proposal of an Automated Workflow for Appropriate Tile Drainage Simulation in Denitrifying Bioreactor Planning and Design

    Creator:
    Grohman, Travis A.
    Abstract:
    Denitrifying bioreactors are an edge-of-field treatment technology particularly well suited for nitrate removal from subsurface (tile) drainage effluent of agricultural lands. The effectiveness of a proposed denitrifying bioreactor is site-specific and depends upon the complicated interplay of field and environmental parameters controlling discharge events, nitrate concentrations, subsurface temperatures, dissolved oxygen...

  • Ancient Greek agricultural soils of the Venella River Valley, Metaponto, Italy : An exploratory analysis

    Creator:
    Carpenter, Burl L.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 2700 years ago, Greek settlers from the Northwestern Peloponnese region of Achaea emigrated to the central coast of Southern Italy along the Gulf of Taranto. The city they founded, Metapontum, served as an important center for Magna Graecia, the lands on the Southern Italic peninsula wholly populated by Hellenic...

  • Investigation of effectiveness of radar speed signs and additional lighting for speed control in highway construction and maintenance work zones

    Creator:
    Jafarnejad, Ali
    Abstract:
    Every year thousands of people are killed or injured in work zone crashes in the US due to excessive speed, distraction, inattentiveness, low visibility, and other factors. Roadway construction and maintenance operations often occur at night when the traffic volume is low, creating less congestion and delay to the traffic....

  • Visualization and analysis of sensor data for detecting microclimate cold air pools

    Creator:
    Singh, Satpreet Harcharan
    Abstract:
    Cold air pools are spatiotemporal phenomena that occur when cold air from higher elevations roll down the slope to accumulate in lower elevations. Behaviors like this lead to microclimate anomalies such as the city of Corvallis (Oregon) experiencing persistent cold weather even on a sunny day. We analyze multivariate temperature...

  • “I couldn’t bring myself to say it” : challenging heteronormativity in teacher education programs

    Creator:
    Ollivier, Amélie G.
    Abstract:
    School is a hostile environment for many LGBTQ youth. Teachers participate, consciously or unconsciously, in perpetuating oppressive heteronormative expectations in the classroom both through the overt and covert curriculum. Yet, pre-service teachers are under-trained about questions related to gender and sexuality during their teacher preparation. This qualitative study explores the...

  • Classifying and Synthesizing 3D Shapes of Objects using Deep Neural Networks

    Creator:
    Xu, Xu
    Abstract:
    Reasoning about 3D shape of objects is important for successful computer visionapplications in robotics, 3D rendering and modeling. In this thesis, we address twoproblems { First, given an image, we generate 3D shape of the foreground object thatappears in the image. Second, we predict the class label of the input...

  • Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

    Creator:
    Wilson, Nicholas C.
    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

    Creator:
    Xu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

    Creator:
    Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
    Abstract:
    The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...
