    Creator:
    Chung, Eunyoung
    Abstract:
    Visual information presented in diagrams promotes information processing both in an individual and in collaborative work. Previous literature has identified the role of diagrams in understanding information processing in a variety of disciplines. In software engineering, diagrams are a prevalent method involved in process development: diagrams are used for system...

  • Interactions of Hydrological Processes and Riparian Zone Function During Seasonal Ceased Flow Regimes Within an Intermittent Stream Basin of the Oak Creek Watershed, Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Colter, Nicholas R.
    Abstract:
    Riparian zone conservation is vital as species’ ability to adapt to a changing climate and pressure from land use is constantly tested. The unique microclimates of riparian zones offer cooler temperatures and resourceful habitats for aquatic and terrestrial organisms. This is essential during seasonal ceased flow regimes when water availability...

  • Enhancing intelligent API tutors with information about how APIs are used in practice

    Creator:
    Krishnamoorthy, Vasanth
    Abstract:
    Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable software developers to utilize and create functionality that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch. Consequently, an essential part of software engineering training is for students to learn how to use APIs effectively. The existing jTutors system enables an...

  • Exploring Alternative Approaches for Native Plant Production and Ecological Restoration in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Placido, Wilman M.
    Abstract:
    Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...

  • Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

    Creator:
    Gerber, Kaitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...
