Directional Decisions in an Egress task: Systematic manipulation of the relative speed, onset, and onset asynchrony of neighboring pedestrians

Creator:: Durand, Lucy A.
Abstract:: Examining directional decisions has proven easier in experiments with fish than in humans. With virtual reality, it is now easier to investigate directional decision-making behavior in humans. This remote virtual study examined directional decisions in 109 participants after watching virtual pedestrians, walking at different speeds and entering at different times,...

Litter decay processes and soil nitrogen availability in native and cheatgrass-dominated arid rangelands

Creator:: Harrison, Kristen S.
Abstract:: As large-scale restorations of degraded rangelands are initiated, land managers need to understand how decades of dominance by the invasive annual grass, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), have altered ecosystem processes. One way to assess such alterations is by observing differences in decay rates, since decomposition is determined by factors such...

Diffusion of selected radionuclides through Hanford Trench 8 soil material

Creator:: Schwab, Kristen E.
Abstract:: Shallow land burial in vadose zone sediment at the Hanford Site in Washington is being considered for the disposal of Category 3 low-level waste. A series of column experiments were conducted to evaluate and model the performance of the soil surrounding the trench encasement material for iodine-129 and technetium-99 by...

Distribution of juvenile salmonids and stream habitat relative to 15-year-old debris-flow deposits in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kirkby, Kristen-Marie S.
Abstract:: Debris flows, common disturbances in many mountainous areas, initially scour or bury stream habitats; however, debris flows deliver vast amounts of wood, boulders, and gravel that may ultimately form complex stream habitat to potentially support a diverse salmonid assemblage. The materials deposited by debris flows would otherwise be inaccessible to...

Impact of Armillaria and annosus root diseases on stand and canopy structure, species diversity, and down woody material in a central Oregon mixed-conifer forest

Creator:: Fields, Kristen L. N.
Abstract:: White and grand fir are both valuable components of the mixed-conifer stand structure managed for late-successional reserves in central Oregon. However, they are often short-lived species because of high susceptibility to root diseases, defoliating insects, bark beetles, and wildfire. This study focuses on the effects of root diseases caused by...

Influence of Alarm Design on Response Time and Accuracy

Creator:: Read, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Increased automation and computerization have led to new demands and people are quickly transitioning to monitoring automated process and autonomous machines. Human oversight of automated process is important and desired, but people often require aid to navigate information from autonomous sources. An effective way to manage this information is with...

A qualitative study of the dietary acculturation among long-term Hispanic immigrants

Creator:: Petersen, Rocio
Abstract:: The evolving United States demographics, evident from the most recent census, show a steady population growth for Hispanics. Research suggests that after immigrating to the United States, first-generation Hispanic populations seem vulnerable to weight gain and development of chronic disease. Many health professionals recognize the increased need for Spanish language...

The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

Creator:: Mendez, Christopher
Abstract:: How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

Assessing the Impact of Three Intersection Treatments on Bicyclist Safety

Creator:: Scott-Deeter, Logan K..
Abstract:: Bicyclist safety at urban intersections is a critical element for encouraging an increase in bicycle commuting. With bicycle injury and fatality rates rising due to collisions with vehicles at signalized intersections, increasing the safety of riders continues to be an important consideration when promoting this mode of transportation. Previous research...

Physical activity levels of children with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:: Johnson, Courtney P.
Abstract:: The low physical activity levels of children today are a cause for serious concern. When examining certain populations of children, such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), there is a possibility of even lower overall physical activity levels. However, when exploring the current literature examining the physical activity levels...
