Age structure, developmental pathways, and fire regime characterization of Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests in the central western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J.
Abstract:: Descriptions of the fire regime in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock region of the Pacific Northwest traditionally have emphasized infrequent, predominantly stand-replacement fires and an associated linear pathway of stand development, where all stands proceed along a common pathway until reset by the next fire. Although such a description may apply in...

Late Quaternary paleoceanography of the Northeast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans based on diatom transfer functions

Creator:: Lopes, Cristina Isabel Coelho Dias
Abstract:: Modern upwelling conditions and corresponding oceanographic properties are investigated and reconstructed for the Late Quaternary. The oceanographic conditions considered influence diatom ecology and the record of fossil diatom frustules in the sediments. Diatoms from modern sediments are evaluated as paleoceanographic proxies and transfer functions (TFs) are calibrated using the Imbrie...

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and hydrocarbon potential of Eocene forearc and subduction zone strata in the southern Tyee Basin, Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Ryu, In-Chang
Abstract:: Sequence stratigraphic analysis of the southern Tyee basin, Oregon Coast Range, reveals that the lower to middle Eocene forearc and subduction zone strata comprise four depositional sequences. Sequence I (lower Umpqua Group) represents a partially subducted accretionary wedge. Sequence II (upper Umpqua Group) is a deltaic sequence that filled irregular...

A knowledge-based approach for monitoring and situation assessment at nuclear power plants

Creator:: Heaberlin, Joan Oylear
Abstract:: An approach for developing a computer-based aid to assist in monitoring and assessing nuclear power plant status during situations requiring emergency response has been developed. It is based on the representation of regulatory requirements and plant-specific systems and instrumentation in the form of hierarchical rules. Making use of inferencing techniques...

Nonintrusive intelligent monitoring for nuclear power plant emergency classification

Creator:: Greene, Kenneth R. (Kenneth Ray), 1958-
Abstract:: A prototype real-time process monitoring emergency classification expert system, RT/EM-CLASS, has been developed for use at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. This knowledge-based system features the integration of electronically sensed plant data with the menu selection data representation of its predecessor, EM-CLASS. This prototype demonstrates the techniques required to acquire...

Modern and past climate variability in the eastern Pacific warm pool

Creator:: Benway, Heather M.
Abstract:: Westward transport of water vapor across the Panama Isthmus helps to maintain the salinity contrast between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, important in thermohaline circulation and global climate. Relatively low sea-surface salinities and a strong, shallow pycnocline in the eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP) region near Central America reflect high...

Bayesian methods for knowledge transfer and policy search in reinforcement learning

Creator:: Wilson, Aaron
Abstract:: How can an agent generalize its knowledge to new circumstances? To learn effectively an agent acting in a sequential decision problem must make intelligent action selection choices based on its available knowledge. This dissertation focuses on Bayesian methods of representing learned knowledge and develops novel algorithms that exploit the represented...

Developmental aspects of the awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among Korean children

Creator:: Lee, Jae Yeon
Abstract:: A Korean Sex Stereotype Measure (KSSM) was developed to assess the awareness of sex-trait stereotypes among Korean children. The KSSM contains 32 descriptions of psychological characteristics, 16 of which represent the male-trait stereotypes, and 16 of which represent the female-trait stereotypes. In a test situation, subjects were asked to associate...

Numerical solutions of the neutron transport equation

Creator:: Skeen, David Roy
Abstract:: Because of the high cost of fuel for nuclear reactors, fuel cycle costs must be predicted accurately. This leads to the high cost computer computations and a search for cheaper yet still accurate methods. For this paper we have chosen to study an alternate method for calculating thermal neutron cell...
