  • Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Health Service Utilization during the Postpartum Period among Low-income Women in Oregon

    Creator:
    Pradhan, Satyasandipani
    Abstract:
    Background: Access to and effective utilization of healthcare services during the postpartum period is essential in preventing and managing health risks among women after childbirth, ensuring a smooth transition to motherhood, and promoting long-term health outcomes for women and their families. Low-income Medicaid women and those belonging to minority race/ethnicity...

  • Determination of magnetoelastic parameters in magnetic thin films from FMR spectra

    Creator:
    Masood, Khalid I.
    Abstract:
    The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) phenomenon serves as a sensitive probe of the effective internal fields in a magnetic material. FMR spectroscopy has consequently become a well-established technique, extensively employed in assessing material properties such as magnetic anisotropy, Landé g-factor, damping parameter, and the magnetoelastic constants of magnetic materials. Determining these...

  • Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

    Creator:
    Nelson, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

  • Multicellular monolayer’s self-organization under external stimuli

    Creator:
    Li, Guanyu
    Abstract:
    Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...

  • In silico screening of nanoporous materials for gas sensing and separation

    Creator:
    Gantzler, Nickolas
    Abstract:
    The utility of high-throughput, computational screening has become an invaluable asset to the field of materials science. In the hierarchy of computational methods, the most accurate methods are often the most computationally expensive. However, as both the efficiency and fidelity of numerical techniques advance, high-quality screening of large materials datasets...

  • Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

    Creator:
    Aboufazeli, Mahtab
    Abstract:
    Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...

  • The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

    Creator:
    Meunier, Zechariah D.
    Abstract:
    Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

  • Development and validation of acoustic measurement techniques for void fraction in concentric annular geometries

    Creator:
    Tost, Brian C.
    Abstract:
    This work investigates the acoustic velocity of gas-liquid mixtures in vertical, co-current flow in a concentric annulus. Acoustic velocity shows promise as a detection parameter for the presence and amount of gas in a liquid flow because of its high sensitivity to gas void fraction in a gas-liquid mixture. However,...

  • Analysis of Asymmetric Heating on a Scaled High Temperature Gas Reactor Experiment During a Pressurized Conduction Cooldown

    Creator:
    Moore, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Among the candidates for the next generation of nuclear power plant is the high temperature gas reactor (HTGR). Since the HTGR does not have the same operational history as water cooled reactors do in the United States, investigation into the response of different accident phenomena is still an active area...

  • Learning to coordinate in sparse asymmetric multiagent systems

    Creator:
    Dixit, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    Multiagent learning offers a rich framework to address challenging real-world problems such as remote exploration and healthcare coordination, which require autonomous agents to express elaborate interactions. To be effective in such systems, agents must collectively reason about and pursue high-level, long-term, and possibly nebulous objectives while adapting their strategy to...
