Creator:: Luoma, Daniel L.
Abstract:: Four aspects of the ecology of members of the Monotropoideae (achiorophyllous Ericaceae, referred to here as "monotropes") are presented: (1) a clarified conceptualization of monotrope nutrition based on a detailed literature review, (2) the relationship of monotrope populations to the plant communities of Limpy Rock RNA, (3) a test of...

Creator:: Caplan, Daniel L.
Abstract:: In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety. Ignition at high altitude can be challenging, due in part to the potentially lower ambient pressures. An understanding of the effects of sub-atmospheric pressures on the temperature evolution of spark kernels is...

Creator:: Newell, Daniel L.
Abstract:: A real-time neutron radiography system has been developed at Oregon State University which is capable of producing neutron radiographs of objects and events concurrent with the incident radiation. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the feasibility of the real-time technique as a further application of neutron radiography at...

Creator:: Boone, Daniel L.
Abstract:: The breeding biology and early life history of the Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) were studied for two years on Goat Island, Curry County, Oregon. Artificial nest boxes were used to minimize disturbance and provide easy access to puffin eggs and chicks. Utilization of these boxes was 47.5% and 57.5% in...

Creator:: Forrest, Daniel L. K.
Abstract:: Recent work has shown that AdaBoost can be viewed as an algorithm that maximizes the margin on the training data via functional gradient descent. Under this interpretation, the weight computed by AdaBoost, for each hypothesis generated, can be viewed as a step size parameter in a gradient descent search. Friedman...

Creator:: Gumtow-Farrior, Daniel L.
Abstract:: Previous studies of bird communities in the mid-Willamette Valley, Oregon, indicated that Oregon white oak (Ouercus garryana) stands supported more cavity-using bird species than sympatric stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Mature Oregon oak stands are being harvested and few are regenerating. I compared cavity availability for hole-using fauna among 10...
