Oregon's Implementation of Coordinated Care Organizations: An Examination of the Changing Healthcare Structure

Creator:: Diestelkamp, Timothy Ross
Abstract:: Due to inefficiencies and unsustainable growth in health expenditures, a new approach needed to be taken in the realm of healthcare. There was a need to increase efficiency and value in order to achieve health outcomes. Hence, arose the concept of the Coordinated Care Organization (CCO). CCOs are seen as...

Exploring the Effects of Voice Humanness and Canned Laughter on Robot Comedy Performance

Creator:: Bui, Timothy G.
Abstract:: With robots becoming increasingly commonplace in today’s society, we need to find ways to help robots to become better accepted. One common method used to gain acceptance and build rapport is through the use of humor. Currently, research in robot comedy exists, albeit it is fairly limited. Our goal with...

Using Cattle as a Tool : Restoring the Sumpter Valley Dredge Tailings

Creator:: Defrees, Dallas K.
Abstract:: A period of over forty years (1913-1954) of gold dredging dramatically changed the landscape of Sumpter Valley, Oregon into a rocky, uninhabitable terrain. The Defrees Ranch LLC used cattle feeding to increase top soil, vegetation, and habitat on the dredge tailings. This thesis investigated the use of feeding cattle as...

Repetitive DNA profiles in Bembidion (Coleoptera : Carabidae) show variation in genomic architecture within and between closely related species

Creator:: Barton, Lindsey M.
Abstract:: The ribosomal cistron (rDNA cistron) is a tandemly repeated region in the genome that encodes for the necessary subunits to form ribosomes, complex molecules responsible for the assembly of amino acids into proteins. They are found within all cellular organisms, and evolve at relatively constant rates, making them ideal for...

The paradox of Facebook : Interdisciplinary perspectives of social support online and face-to-face

Creator:: Daley, Allison
Abstract:: The extensive adoption of social media has provoked widespread debate about how online communication impacts social relationships. An apparent paradox of Facebook is that people simultaneously express feeling more and less connected than ever before. Through perspectives from psychology and communication studies, this thesis addresses a question of public concern:...

Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

Creator:: Wile, Dylan
Abstract:: Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

The Stories We Will Tell : An Exploration of Family History through Autobiography and Record Analysis

Creator:: Peabody, Anna M.
Abstract:: The research of genealogy and family history can represent a means of self-discovery, connection, and preservation of the past. The experience is individualistic, unique to the intricate intertwining of lives that helped create and influence who we are today. Through the analysis of historical biographies, family documents, and autobiographical vignettes,...

An analysis of control area synchronization on the convergence of distributed state estimators

Creator:: Clarke, Blaise
Abstract:: This honors undergraduate thesis examines the process of simulating power system state estimation, the use of the alternating direction method of multipliers in the problem of distributed power system state estimation, and provides a rudimentary asynchronous implementation of the above for a linearized DC power system. The asynchronous implementation is...

Controlled Orientation of Engineered Carbonic Anhydrase on a Surface : A Model for Protein Immobilization for Biosensors and Biomaterials

Creator:: Brown, Wesley
Abstract:: Current protein immobilization techniques lack defined control over protein orientation. Protein orientation is important for making biosensors and biomaterials that are sensitive and efficient and can be crucial for designing some devices such as immunosensors or direct electron transferring biocells. A new method of protein immobilization is proposed that takes...

Cohousing - The Answer to Sustainable Development

Creator:: McCollum, Kirra W.
Abstract:: In response to climate change and limited resources this paper reviews cohousing as a possible option for sustainable development. Sustainable design practices that incorporate economic, environmental and social issues need to be present in our neighborhoods. Other development methods incorporate one, but not all three, of the triple bottom line...
