ENSO impacts on pelagic ecosystems in the Eastern Pacific, with emphasis on fishery resources

Creator:: Alvial, Adolfo L.
Abstract:: Many new research and monitoring projects, developed or initiated during ENSO 1982-83, constituted detailed descriptions of changes in specific taxa or specific processes. However, only a few projects were opportunely started or continued as regional efforts in the eastern Pacific. For those reasons, the information obtained is difficult to compare....

Innate behavioral responses to extirpated mammalian apex predators : can fear be utilized to manage populations and protect sensitive habitats

Creator:: Ruch, Zachary
Abstract:: I conducted a field study using gray wolf and mountain lion urine to investigate white-tailed deer and mesopredator behavioral responses to novel predator cues in a natural setting and to see if any changes in wildlife activity correspond to changes in the local biodiversity of a wetland environment. I created...

PlanView & HViews : graphical user interfaces for viewing plan data

Creator:: Tabayoyon, Al
Abstract:: Visualizing and navigating through a plan is difficult without graphics. Two X applications, PlanView and HViews, are graphical user interfaces to an AI planner, OPIE, developed at the University of Oregon. In addition to a plan generator, OPIE includes a facility to generate operator abstractions which in turn are used...

Stakeholder Perceptions of Public Participation in LNG Siting in Coos Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Gaustad, Brittany V.
Abstract:: Selecting locations for large energy facilities represents a land use dilemma: The beneficiaries of such facilities often are not the ones to suffer from adverse local impacts. As a result, it is not uncommon for local opposition groups to form in response to such proposals, and although opportunities for public...

Practical Reinforcement Learning for Bipedal Locomotion

Creator:: Dao, Jeremy
Abstract:: Reinforcement learning has emerged as a popular tool for solving control tasks, with multiple works focusing on the complex and dynamic task of locomotion. However, the naive application of reinforcement learning to this problem often produces maladaptive policies that exploit the model or reward function. This results in behavior that...

Revenue Stability among Education Service Districts during the Great Recession: A Comparison of Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Clark, Joseph Oliver
Abstract:: Public education in the United States is fundamental to future economic performance. The attention paid to public education institutions generally revolves around school districts, state education agencies, and the role of the federal government. However, an often overlooked cog is the educational service agency. Known in Oregon and Washington as...

Fish out of Water: Virgin Spinedace (Lepidomeda mollispinis) in the Santa Clara River, Utah

Creator:: Siefken, Sarah N.
Abstract:: River ecosystems throughout the arid southwestern U.S. are imperiled. Water management infrastructure, climate change, unsustainable water use, and political conflict harm the region's aquatic and riparian ecosystems. This case study surveys one such desert river, an endemic fish species, and conservation efforts in southwestern Utah. The analysis focuses on the...

A review and assessment of network concepts and their applications in geography and related disciplines

Creator:: Versluis, Anna J.
Abstract:: Networks are a structure common to many disciplines. Research on networks has taken different forms in domains such as graph theory, sociology, vascular networks, small-world networks, geomorphology, ecology, evolution and engineering. Networks may be modeled as non-spatial networks (unvalued graphs), which contain only topological information, or as spatial networks (valued...

Exploring the persistence of Oregon white oak in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Juhl, Eli
Abstract:: Over the last 150 years, Oregon white oak habitat in the Willamette Valley has been converted to support grass crops, orchards and vineyards, cities, and conifer forests, nearly extirpating it from the Willamette Valley. Yet Oregon white oak offers many ecosystem services to the Willamette Valley and its residents. Recent...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...
