  • A Monte Carlo analysis of principal components and ridge regression with application to a fisheries evaluation model

    Creator:
    Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
    Abstract:
    Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

  • The Mountain Pine Beetle, Climate Change and Sustainable Forestry in the Northern Rocky Mountain

    Creator:
    Gillen, Amanda
    Abstract:
    Mountain pine beetles (MPB) have killed millions of acres of forest throughout the Rocky Mountain ecoregion in the United States and Canada and climate change may be intensifying outbreaks. Climate change can change forest ecosystems and dynamics by increasing drought conditions and intensifying heat waves. Due to changing climate conditions,...

  • Hydrogeology and Hydrologic Connectivity of a Semiarid Central Oregon Rangeland System

    Creator:
    Caruso, Philip
    Abstract:
    The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here...

  • A Spatiotemporal Characterization of Water Resource Conditions and Demands for the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, Southeastern Arizona

    Creator:
    Job, Carl
    Abstract:
    Groundwater overdraft in the Wilcox Groundwater Basin, as a consequence of increasing rates of agricultural groundwater withdrawal, has led to significant regional groundwater level decline and threatens to undermine the basin’s long-term water resource security. Updated characterization of the basin’s water resource conditions and agricultural water demand is critically important...

  • User interface design considerations for emerging input technologies in iTV

    Creator:
    Wolford, Justin
    Abstract:
    Streaming media and interactive television viewing experiences are becoming more commonplace with the introduction of services such as Netflix Streaming, the Apple TV, and Google TV aided by the increase adoption of broadband internet. As these services make their way into the living room, and developers struggle to accommodate more...

  • An evaluation of game controllers and tablets as controllers for interactive TV applications

    Creator:
    Cox, Dale J.
    Abstract:
    There is a growing interest in bringing online and streaming content to the television. Gaming platforms such as the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii are at the center of this digital convergence; platforms for accessing new media services. This presents a number of interface challenges, as controllers designed for gaming...

  • Redesigning Beaversource through User Centered Design

    Creator:
    Viswanathan, Vignesh
    Abstract:
    Beaversource provides both code-hosting tools and social networking in one place. Students and faculty at Oregon State University have been using Beaversource to host their projects, both for classwork and research. Several usability problems were reported in a survey conducted on Beaversource last year. Some of these issues were severe...

  • Motivating programmers through karma systems

    Creator:
    Cedeno, Jose
    Abstract:
    Keeping FOSS developers motivated is a challenging problem, and their motivation levels can affect the team's productivity and satisfaction, leading to higher or lower productivity. Using reputation systems as a motivator has become the de-facto standard for many online communities, rewarding user's activity through badges of honor or achievement levels....

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...

  • An inherently parallel Monte Carlo linear systems solver applied to neutron diffusion equations

    Creator:
    Eccleston, Bradley R.
    Abstract:
    Linear solvers are often used to solve neutron diffusion problems. These tools have two significant shortcomings. First, parallel implementations provide only a modest speedup. The operations cannot be divided cleanly between processors. Second, for large matrices they can be very slow. Our primary goal is to find a new method...
