  • Similarity inheritance : a model of inheritance for declarative visual programming languages

    Creator:
    Djang, Rebecca W. (Rebecca Walpole)
    Abstract:
    Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such...

  • The effects of multiple pathogens on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Romansic, John M.
    Abstract:
    The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...

  • Generalizing abstractions in form-based visual programming languages : from direct manipulation to static representation

    Creator:
    Yang, Sherry
    Abstract:
    We believe concreteness, direct manipulation and responsiveness in a visual programming language increase its usefulness. However, these characteristics present a challenge in generalizing programs for reuse, especially when concrete examples are used as one way of achieving concreteness. In this thesis, we present a technique to solve this problem by...

  • Identifying factors driving sensitivity to fragmentation in forest breeding songbirds

    Creator:
    Valente, Jonathon J.
    Abstract:
    Habitat loss and fragmentation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Fragmentation impacts landscape configuration, resulting in a larger number of patches that are smaller in size and further apart from one another. Island biogeography and metapopulation theory predict populations in these remnant patches should be smaller, have higher extinction...
