  • Dependency speculation in dynamic simultaneous multi-threading

    Creator:
    Nelson, Jarrod A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore dependency speculation in Dynamic Simultaneous Multi-Threading (DSMT). DSMT is a microprocessor architecture which attempts to extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) from single-threaded programs at run-time. This is accomplished by running multiple iterations of program loops in parallel. The DSMT architecture was originally...

  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

    Creator:
    Austin, Melissa J.
    Abstract:
    Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...

  • Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds

    Creator:
    Krissman, Cortnie M.
    Abstract:
    North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining habitat is fragmented or degraded by invasive species, fire suppression and overgrazing. Sagebrush-obligate species are experiencing population declines as a result...

  • Temporal and spatial variability of groundwater nitrate in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon

    Creator:
    Mutti, Jeffrey Glenn
    Abstract:
    Groundwater nitrate contamination is a well-documented issue in the Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) of Oregon, as a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) has recently been declared. As a GWMA, groundwater nitrate monitoring must occur until regional concentrations are below 7 mg/L NO3-N. However, the presence of temporal variability can make it...

  • Exotic plant species dynamics from 1994 to 2005 on road networks in forested landscapes of western Oregon

    Creator:
    Sheehy, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Although the Pacific Northwest has the least proportion of non-native plant species in relation to other regions of North America, exotic species continue to spread into mountainous areas, including the Cascade Range. In a forested landscape, road networks can act as corridors for exotic plant dispersal and establishment, helping species...

  • Post-fire recreation management in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness

    Creator:
    Brown, Ryan N. K.
    Abstract:
    Natural events such as wildfires, floods, and storms can significantly alter the short-term structure and functioning of natural systems. Recreation in wilderness areas is one instance in which individuals are directly exposed to post-disturbance landscapes. Consequently, public land managers may be faced with a different set of challenges stemming from...

  • Riparian vegetation and larval Pacific Giant (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and adult Western Redback (Plethodon vehiculum) salamanders in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Graff, Paula (Paula Hayes)
    Abstract:
    Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest provide important biotic and abiotic features, such as down wood, moist microsites, and abundant invertebrate prey that benefit aquatic and terrestrial amphibians. Reported high densities of amphibians from streams and riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest highlight their importance in riparian food webs. Amphibians...

  • Vegetation response to prescribed fire in mountain big sagebrush ecosystems at Lava Beds National Monument, California

    Creator:
    Ellsworth, Lisa M.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic land use alterations such as livestock grazing and fire suppression have greatly altered sagebrush grasslands of the Great Basin, facilitating invasion of exotic annuals, increases in woody species, and losses of native species. Much of the current research surrounding wildland and prescribed fire in sagebrush dominated ecosystems has focused...

  • Preventing falls from unpredictable balance disturbances

    Creator:
    Welsh, Lisa R.
    Abstract:
    Falls, particularly those due to slips, constitute a major health risk for older adults. Past research has found that individuals can learn not to fall through repeated exposure to a slipping perturbation. Slips can be unpredictable, however. The goal of this study was to determine whether similar adaptations would occur...
