Expressive Motion in Simple Robotics

Creator:: Berger, Jaden E.
Abstract:: This thesis follows two studies performed with simple robots. The first follows a robot interacting with eight improvisers to create scenes and perform five isolated gestures (towards, away, sideways, spin, and circle) for interpretation. The second follows a group of three robots performing the same five isolated gestures at two...

Innovative Experimental Methods in Human-Robot Interaction

Creator:: Wadgaonkar, Chinmay P.
Abstract:: User studies in human-robot interaction and social robotics in general involve human participants and their reactions, observations and expectations of robots. This thesis presents two innovative experimental methods aimed at gaining access to high-stakes social data not typically collectable with traditional user studies. The Actor Method provides access to data...

Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots

Creator:: Bernasconi, Abigail A.
Abstract:: Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of...

Exploring the functional effects of Leukemia-promoting natural mutations in the tumor suppressor protein, BCL11B

Creator:: Wisner, Heather
Abstract:: Thymocytes, cells of the thymus gland, undergo developmental steps that enable them to properly mature into T-cells. Errors in gene expression may lead to improper maturation and potentially mass proliferation of dysfunctional thymocytes, a hallmark of leukemia or lymphoma. BCL11B is a tumor suppressor and transcriptional regulatory protein that is...

Characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein and the Binding to Different Sections of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome

Creator:: Pinckney, Seth H.
Abstract:: The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is known to play an essential part of the virus’ functions. The N protein can protect and package the large 29,903 nucleotide genomic RNA whilst also interacting with structural membrane protein M and the spike protein S....

The Management Control System in a Growing Family Firm

Creator:: Henderson, Kali L.
Abstract:: Many firms start off as small family businesses which are controlled through the culture imprinted on employees by the founder. As the business grows, family owners and the executives that they hire, face a dilemma – how do they manage the trade-off between wanting to control the business in order...

Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

Creator:: Heppell, Dylan
Abstract:: Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...

Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

Creator:: Crowell, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

Illegal to Exist : The Criminalization of Houselessness in the United States

Creator:: Waite, Mariah E.
Abstract:: In the United States, the state of housing and the lack thereof has been declared a national crisis. In response, cities have taken measures to police behaviors that are associated with what they perceive to be disorder and decay. These behaviors are also commonly associated with houselessness. Laws that criminalize...
