  • A study of the relation between radar and raingage indicated rainfall over northern California

    Creator:
    Strem, Eric Thomas
    Abstract:
    The WSR-57 weather radar operated by the National Weather Service at Sacramento, California, plus a network of precipitation gages provided data for this comparison of radar reflectivity with precipitation rates. Located in a valley with mountains within range of the radar on three sides, this radar has varying sensitivity for...

  • Consumer perceptions of decking material

    Creator:
    Thomas, Jon M.
    Abstract:
    Wood remains the most popular material for deck construction. For centuries, consumers have chosen wood because of its desirable qualities and aesthetics. In recent years, wood plastic composites (WPC's) have seen rising demand as alternatives to wood decks, despite a large price premium. In addition, the removal of CCA treated...

  • Constraining Bayesian network learning with qualitative models

    Creator:
    Altendorf, Eric E.
    Abstract:
    Machine learning encompasses probabilistic and statistical techniques that can build models from large quantities of extensional information (examples) with minimal dependence on intensional information (domain knowledge). This focus of machine learning is reflected in the never-ending quest for "off-the-shelf" classifiers. To generalize to unseen data, however, we must make use...

  • Perinatal mortality and preweaning growth of progeny of ewe lambs

    Creator:
    Gendron, Eric
    Abstract:
    Half Polypay ewe lambs were bred to Suffolk, North Country Cheviot and Hampshire rams to lamb at about one year of age. Type of birth-rearing significantly affected mortality by 70 days of age and all weights of lambs from birth to weaning. The mortality rate at 70 days of age...

  • Remote detection and predicted locations of NIPF fuel treatments in central Oregon

    Creator:
    Hall, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Fire regimes across the western United States have been altered due to past land management and changing land use. Mitigating increased risks of wildfire occurrence in landscapes such as central Oregon requires landscape level management from both governmental and private organizations. Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners manage a relatively small...

  • Integrating Side Effects in Variational Programs Using Algebraic Effects

    Creator:
    Alkubaish, Ghadeer
    Abstract:
    Variational programming supports efficiently executing many related programs at once by encoding all of the programs in one "variational program" that captures the differences among them statically and explicitly. An open problem in variational programming is how to handle side effects—if two program variants perform different side effects, we cannot...

  • Imperative Programming with Variational Effects

    Creator:
    Grasley, Alexander B.
    Abstract:
    Variation is a commonly encountered element of modern software systems. Recent research into variation has led to increasing interest in the development of variational programming languages and corresponding variational models of execution. Variational imperative languages pose a particular challenge due to the complex interactions between side effects and variation. The...

  • Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

    Creator:
    Khan, Fariba
    Abstract:
    Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

  • Segmenting single-family homebuilders on a measure of innovativeness

    Creator:
    Fell, David R.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of new product adoption by single family homebuilders. Information from this study will be useful to producers of new and existing engineered wood products in targeting their market development efforts. Homebuilders are studied with the goal of segmenting them...

  • Application of the Variational Database Management System to Schema Evolution and Software Product Lines

    Creator:
    Li, Qiaoran
    Abstract:
    As a general solution to the problem of managing structural and content variability in relational databases, in previous work we have introduced the Variational Database Management System (VDBMS). VDBMS consists of a representation of a variational database (VDB) and a corresponding typed query language (v-query). However, since this is a...
