An efficient and accurate method of estimating substrate noise coupling in heavily doped substrates

Creator:: Arunachalam, Sasi Kumar S.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a Z-parameter based model to predict the substratenoise coupling between two contacts in a heavily doped substrate for frequenciesless than 2 GHz. The empirical model is scalable with contact size and spacingsbetween the contacts and model parameters can be readily extracted from simu-lated or measured data. The...

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...

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

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...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...

Examining effectiveness of Oregon’s forest practice rules for maintaining warm-season maximum stream temperature patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Fleuret, Jennifer Marie
Abstract:: Stream temperature, as an important component of stream ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas (RMAs), as implemented through the current Oregon Forest Practice Rules, are designed, in part, to maintain stream temperature following forest harvesting. However, effectiveness...

Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

Creator:: Barr, Julie M.
Abstract:: Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

The effect of nicotinic acid supplementation during late-gestation on lipolysis and feed intake during the transition period

Creator:: Chamberlain, Jason L.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted with 27 multiparous Holstein and 27 multiparous Jersey cows to determine if nicotinic acid (NA) supplementation during the prepartum phase of the transition period decreases lipolysis and improves dry matter intake and to determine if Holstein and Jersey cows respond similarly to NA supplementation. Cows were...

Identifying candidate genes associated with cold adaptation in Douglas-fir using DNA microarrays

Creator:: Howe, Dana Kathryn
Abstract:: In forest trees from temperate and boreal regions, cold acclimation is an important adaptive trait that involves changes in gene expression and physiology. Genecological, quantitative genetic, and QTL studies have been used to study the genetics of cold acclimation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), but the genes responsible for...

Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

Creator:: Rose, Robert W.
Abstract:: Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...
