  • Adversarial Attacks in Natural Language Question-Answering

    Creator:
    Rahurkar, Prachi S.
    Abstract:
    Question Answering in natural language processing has achieved significant progress in recent years. Yet, training and testing set methodology to evaluate the language models has proved inadequate. Adversarial examples aid us in finding loopholes inside these models and provide insights into their inner workings. In this work, an evaluation based...

  • Roles of microorganisms in the deterioriation of rockfish

    Creator:
    Lobben, J. C. and Lee, J. S.
    Abstract:
    Seven species of microorganisms indigenous to fish were inoculated into sterile fish muscle, obtained from Sebastodes alutus and Sebastalobus alascanus, and the production of total volatile acids (TVA) and total volatile bases (TVB) was deter­mined during storage at 1 C. No production of TVA and TVB was noted in sterile...

  • The effect of irradiation with ultraviolet light on chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides : a review

    Creator:
    Banks, Kenneth A.
    Abstract:
    Pesticide chemists have recognized since the 1940's that ultraviolet light was deleterious to the insecticidal properties of certain compounds. However, it has been only within the last 15 years that a number of photodecomposition products of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides have been isolated and identified. The degradation of insecticides by...

  • Vegetation composition and response to fire of native Willamette Valley wetland prairies

    Creator:
    Pendergrass, Kathy L. (Connelly)
    Abstract:
    Fires set by Native Americans were important in shaping and maintaining Willamette Valley prairie plant communities. With fire exclusion after Euro-American settlement in the 1840's, composition of the remaining prairies shifted toward shrub and tree dominance with a concomitant decline in endemic prairie plant populations. I hypothesize that by restoring...

  • Precision Medicine for the Intervertebral Disc: Image Processing and Computational Modeling of Disc Degeneration to Inform Patient-Specific Therapies

    Creator:
    Ahrens, Sonia R.
    Abstract:
    The human intervertebral disc is a deceptively simple structure which plays an essential role in human movement. Even slight changes to the disc microenvironment can have far reaching consequences, particularly when these changes result in disc degeneration and herniation. Degeneration is increasingly tied to lower back pain; better understanding this...

  • Message Queue Manager

    Creator:
    Fang, Don Y.
    Abstract:
    The conventional way of debugging is to examine the program's state at various points during execution. With the addition of message passing as a means of communication and synchronization in message passing programs, the state of pending message operations also needs to be examined. Current parallel debuggers or analysis tools...

  • Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Khan, Fariba
    Abstract:
    Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

  • Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

    Creator:
    Dew, Aleah
    Abstract:
    The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...
