  • Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

    Creator:
    Greaves, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

  • α-tocopherol is specifically delivered to human skin : studies using deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol

    Creator:
    Vaule, Heather D.
    Abstract:
    The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...

  • Sexual identity and familial factors discriminating sexual behaviors in adolescents

    Creator:
    Greaves, Kathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Identifying factors related to adolescent sexual activity is an important issue for health care, education, and public policy. This research explores the idea that sexual identity relates to adolescent sexual activity and the riskiness of the behavior. Sexual identity is composed of many factors, including self-esteem, sexual self-efficacy, body image,...

  • Comprehensive land planning: regional analysis of a repeal effort

    Creator:
    Greaves, Jerilyn Ann
    Abstract:
    A subjective model based on county demographic characteristics and regional variation in election issues was used to predict county by county election outcome on an effort to repeal mandatory comprehensive land planning in Oregon. The subjective model consisted of four county factors: 1) population density; 2) percent of urbanization; 3)...

  • Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

    Creator:
    Kleinknecht, George J.
    Abstract:
    Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

  • Robot vs. Stick: The Impact of Anthropomorphism on the Use of Hand Sanitizer

    Creator:
    Bana, Parthasarathy R.
    Abstract:
    Anthropomorphism is described as the human tendency to see human-like shapes in the environment and robots have the potential to be anthropomorphized. However, it is unclear if anthropomorphic robots are effective in human-robot interactions (HRI). Using the context of hand sanitizer service as an application, this work assessed whether a...

  • Designing and Evaluating a User Interface for Multi-Robot Furniture

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Brett
    Abstract:
    A chair, once placed, will stay put until moved. Or will it? With the rise of technology being embeddable into everyday objects, what if that chair could move itself? Such robotic furniture has been featured in advertisements, art, and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research. Existing methods for operating robotic furniture have...
