Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

Unique Structural Properties and Motifs of Metal-Oxides from Solids to Clusters

Creator:: Malmberg, Christopher E.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the structural properties, thermodynamics and defect behavior of amorphous metal oxides and polyoxometalates are studied. Amorphous metal oxides have many applications, most notably as a semiconducting material used as the active matrix of thin film transistors. Alas, the amorphous nature of these materials makes studying them rather...

Disaggregating Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Health Data: Cardiovascular Health, Neighborhood Factors, and Socioeconomic Disadvantage Among Older Adults

Creator:: Đoàn, Lan N.
Abstract:: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in the United States (US) and research suggests that CVD morbidity and mortality disproportionately impacts Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) older adults. However, the prevalence on CVD and underlying mechanisms for CVD disparities among disaggregated Asian American...

Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

Creator:: Fallatah, Abrar
Abstract:: While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

Comprehensive, Low-Cost Wicking Microfluidic Analytical Devices for Clinical Diagnostics and Environmental Analysis

Creator:: Bandara, Gayan C.
Abstract:: Analytical techniques are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Traditionally, analytical measurements are achieved by trained personnel in a laboratory setting using expensive scientific instruments, which limits their applicability in resource-limited areas and point-of-care applications. Therefore, the concept of enabling these laboratory-based qualitative and quantitative assays in microfluidic device...

Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

Creator:: Arnold, Holly Kristin
Abstract:: The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

Impacts of instream flows on the Colorado River Delta, Mexico : spatial vegetation change analysis and opportunities for restoration

Creator:: Zamora-Arroyo, Jose Francisco
Abstract:: Until the 1930s, flows of the Colorado River maintained approximately 781,060 hectares of wetlands in its delta. These wetlands provided important feeding and nesting grounds for resident and migratory birds as well as spawning and protection habitat for many fish and other invertebrate species. However, the Delta's wetlands started to...

Assemblages and Adaptation: The Influence of Multispecies Social Networks on Small Farmers’ Perceptions of and Responses to Climate Change in Oregon

Creator:: Parks, Melissa
Abstract:: This study explores how multispecies social networks influence small farmers' perceptions of and responses to climate change across Oregon. Local food sovereignty and food system resilience depend on a robust local food system in which small farms play a critical role. To maintain their viability, small farmers must adapt to...

Organization, Objectives, and Procedural Outcomes: Trade-Offs Associated with Managerial Choices in Oaxacan Community Forest Enterprises

Creator:: Engbring, Gretchen M.
Abstract:: This paper examines four community forest enterprises (CFEs) in Oaxaca, Mexico, where CFEs have been held up as a positive example of community forestry that simultaneously addresses both conservation and development goals. CFEs are community-owned businesses that manage their forests to provide income and other benefits and may be considered...

WAVE~Ripples for Change Obesity 2-y Intervention in High School Soccer Players : Program Impact on Diet and Physical Activity, Process Evaluation, Best Practices, and Youth Engagement

Creator:: Meng, Yu
Abstract:: Childhood obesity prevalence is significantly higher among adolescent 12-19 years old than younger age groups. Youth athletes are overlooked by childhood obesity prevention programs. WAVE~Ripples for Change (WAVE) program is a 2-y obesity prevention intervention with high school (HS) soccer players (14-19y) using a mixed virtual- and physical-world learning environment...
