Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Empowering End Users to Mitigate Privacy and Security Risks in Smart-Home Trigger-Action Apps

Creator:: Saeidi, Mahsa
Abstract:: Many home users nowadays use various smart devices to improve the efficiency and convenience of their home environments. Trigger-action platforms such as “If-This-Then-That” (IFTTT) enable end users to connect different smart devices and services using simple apps to control these devices and automate the tasks (e.g., if the camera detects...

A Framework for Evaluating the Comprehensiveness of Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs. A 360-Degree View of the Continuous Improvement Efforts in a Large School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Creator:: Azzouni, Abdullah
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) of academic computing programs is a main requirement of accreditation. Academic computing programs must have a well-documented CI plan in order to be granted accreditation. Based on the existing literature, we developed a comprehensive CI (or 360-CI) model consisting of 8 components: course, curriculum, administration, faculty, research,...

Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

Creator:: Dodge, Jonathan E.
Abstract:: Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Seagrass and Coral Microbiomes

Creator:: Wang, Lu
Abstract:: Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...

Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

Creator:: Mannan, Umme Ayda
Abstract:: Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

The Influence of Microbial Communities on Spatiotemporal Elemental Cycling in Coastal Margins Revealed by Community- and Population-level Genomics and Proteomics

Creator:: Kieft, Brandon P.
Abstract:: Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...

Habitat Use and Ecological Interactions of Invasive Lionfish in the Bahamas

Creator:: Davis, Alexandra C. D.
Abstract:: Invasive species are a growing global economic and ecological problem. Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois spp.) are known to have extreme negative effects on coral-reef communities in the Bahamas, so understating their distribution within and among reefs, what limits their local movements, and the effects they have on native prey species...

Where have all the women and children gone? An examination of domestic life at the Newell Farmstead (35MA41) in the early Oregon country

Creator:: Manion, Mollie Jo
Abstract:: The Newell Farmstead (35MA41) archaeological site lies in the heart of the French Prairie in the Willamette Valley in the Champoeg State Heritage Area, Oregon. The integrity and depth of deposition have made the Newell site a unique opportunity to look at activity areas and domestic life of early Euro-American...

Helping end-user programmers find and fix performance problems in visual code

Creator:: Chambers, Chris
Abstract:: End-user programmers often struggle to create programs that run quickly and effectively, which can be a major deterrent in completing their tasks as desired. Current research has primarily focused on catching user mistakes, such as errors or misused formulas. However, end users deal with issues other than just correctness. In...
