Proximity Activated Stimuli on Modified Ride-On-Cars for Children with Disabilities

Creator:: Weathers, Thomas S.
Abstract:: This thesis describes the implementation of ultrasonic sensors to trigger a stimulus to increase peer interaction for children with disabilities using modified ride-on-cars for mobility. Modified ride-on-car technology has improved mobility for children with disabilities by effectively replicating the social benefits of a powered mobility device, yet there are opportunities...

A survey of power systems vulnerability and failures on the Pacific Northwest due to natural disasters with a focus on volcanic activity.

Creator:: Tafempa Messa, Winnie
Abstract:: Electricity is at the center of attention as today many essential systems (water, gas, communications, and the internet for example) and infrastructures depend on its continuity for their smooth functioning. On the other hand, electricity power networks have developed and became large, and highly complex technical systems, geographically extended, requiring...

Social Aspects of Federal Fisheries Management in the Pacific Islands Region : Stakeholder Perspectives and an Informal Gap Analysis of Current Data

Creator:: Pickering, Emily A.
Abstract:: Information about social and economic attributes of fisheries, fishing communities, and fishery participants is important for marine resource management because the focuses of agency efforts are on managing society's impacts to the marine environment. This thesis addresses two questions. First, what are the perspectives of managers, scientists, and commercial and...

Drowning in the noise : an examination of noise pollution’s effect on wild birds through field recording and musical composition

Creator:: Kruger-Moore, Liana
Abstract:: This project uses field recordings to examine the levels of noise pollution present in both rural and urban areas by creating an artistic translation of these soundscapes, representative of how wild birds experience different environments. The field recordings capture not only what is present in a given soundscape, but what...

Predicting Fish Recruitment in the Northeast Pacific Using Climate Indices

Creator:: Riley, Shannon L.
Abstract:: Predicting recruitment, which is dependent on parent stock size and climate, is vital for forecasting productivity of fish stocks. The effects of climate can be analyzed via the use of climate indices. Three climate indices, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, and the Oceanic Niño Index, describe...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...
