Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Ballantine, Kaleigh
Abstract:: The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...

Fifty years of change in a Pacific Northwest winter forest bird community

Creator:: Clements, Nolan
Abstract:: North American bird populations have declined throughout the past half century. The majority of studies quantifying these declines have focused on spring and summer breeding birds; not the season of scarcity, winter. We re-surveyed 7 large study plots in Douglas fir forests initially surveyed in winter during the late 1960s...

Improving the accuracy and efficiency of bird song analysis with machine learning based event detection

Creator:: Mathew, Anju
Abstract:: Ornithology is an exciting field with novel research emerging everyday. Researchers in bioacoustics often spend hours within the wilderness recording bird calls to analyze later in their lab. The burden of sifting through hours of audio recordings from the field continues to remain a time-consuming and manual task, despite the...

An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

Novel Predictive Simulation of Organ Perfusion Kinetics for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures

Creator:: Johnson, Hill S.
Abstract:: Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

Why the U.S. Should Change to an Opt-Out System for Human Organ Donation

Creator:: Rainey, Lacee L.
Abstract:: In the U.S., the number of people waiting for an organ donation is increasing exponentially while the number of registered donors is slowly rising. This discrepancy leads to a great number of people dying while waiting for an organ donor. The opt-in system, lack of education around donation, and having...

Playing by the Rules: A Formal Specification of BoGL’s Loops and Type System

Creator:: Grejuc, Alex
Abstract:: BoGL is a programming language created for the purpose of computer science education that is specific to the domain of board games. Although there is a language grammar and an existing implementation that is currently used by students, a complete and formal language standard does not yet exist. In the...

Disparities in Organ Allocation Among Patients of Varying Socioeconomic Status

Creator:: Kahn, Margo S.
Abstract:: Research Objective: Determine if disparities in the allocation of lifesaving organs, specifically the kidney and liver, exist between low and non-low socioeconomic status (SES) groups in the US. Study Design: A literature review will be conducted to examine anticipated inequalities between patients of different SES. Potential causes of the disparity...

Abundances of raptors wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, before and after a ban on grass field burning

Creator:: Caldwell, Stephanie E.
Abstract:: For the past 50 years, open-field burning has served as the main method to manage postharvest residue in grass seed fields within the Willamette Valley. Recently, farmers have implemented the full straw load and clean-nonthermal methods to remove straw after harvest. We hypothesized that these two alternative methods have caused...
