  • Economic evaluation of projects and policies affecting anadromous fish : a simulation approach

    Creator:
    Hastie, James D.
    Abstract:
    Anadromous fish populations in the Pacific Northwest have undergone substantial change throughout the past century. Historical periods of over-harvest and the construction of numerous dams throughout the region have contributed to declines in the runs of naturally spawning stocks. Management efforts to rebuild fish populations have focused on the restriction...

  • Boundary Dynamics of a Transformative Learning Network : Improving Connection at the Interface of Science and Society

    Creator:
    Risien, Julie
    Abstract:
    Transformative learning networks are a specific type of loose network with geographically distributed members and member organizations. They hold particular promise for transformation when both top-down and bottom-up processes have failed to support desired systems-level change. The aim of this dissertation is to build knowledge about the social-interactional processes, roles,...

  • Transfer and meta-cognitive intervention in conceptually non-isomorphic linear algebra problem settings

    Creator:
    Burger, Lance D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation arose out of an awareness of difficulties undergraduate linear algebra students encounter when solving linear algebra problems from novel, non-isomorphic settings, even when the problems could be solved with matrix representations and similar procedures as problems from a more familiar setting. This mixed-methods study utilized both traditional and...

  • Analysis of Bayesian anytime inference algorithms

    Creator:
    Burgess, Scott Alan
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores and analyzes the performance of several Bayesian anytime inference algorithms for dynamic influence diagrams. These algorithms are compared on the On-Line Maintenance Agent testbed, a software artifact permitting comparison of dynamic reasoning algorithms used by an agent on a variety of simulated maintenance and monitoring tasks. Analysis...
