  • Gender HCI issues in end-user programming

    Creator:
    Beckwith, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Until recently, research has not considered whether the design of end-user programming environments, such as spreadsheets, multimedia authoring languages, and CAD systems, affects males and females differently. As a result, we began investigating how the two genders are impacted by end-user programming software and whether attention to gender differences is...

  • Botanical composition and diet quality of beef cattle grazing at three stocking rates following fuels reduction in mixed conifer forests

    Creator:
    Clark, Abe A.
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...

  • Improving the durability of second growth timbers of naturally durable species

    Creator:
    Cabrera Orozco, Yohanna
    Abstract:
    While the heartwood of many wood species exhibits excellent resistance to fungal and insect attack, this resistance is sometimes diminished in second-growth material of the same species. The reasons for the reduced durability are unclear, but they may reflect a combination of both higher proportions of sapwood as well as...

  • Influence of adjustable speed drive on induction motor fault detection using stator current monitoring.

    Creator:
    Al-Shahrani, Ali
    Abstract:
    The detection of motor faults at their incipient stage is of prime importance to any industrial plant. The introduction of adjustable speed drives has improved the control and the efficiency of induction motors, however, this has changed the nature of motor faults and how they can be detected. Current signature...

  • Field validation of laboratory tests used in screening Port-Orford-cedar for resistance to Phytophthora lateralis

    Creator:
    Wing, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    Port-Orford-cedar (POC) (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murl.) Parl) is an important tree species native the coastal ranges of southern Oregon and northern California. The tree is a false-cedar in the cypress (Cupressaceae) family and is used for timber and planted as an ornamental. The tree in most of its native range...

  • Establishing native plants in crested wheatgrass stands using successional management

    Creator:
    Fansler, Valerie A.
    Abstract:
    Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.) is a nonindigenous perennial grass that was introduced to North America to improve the condition of degraded rangelands. It has proven to be a successful revegetation species due to its superior ease of establishment, strong competitive ability, and ability to tolerate grazing. However, crested...

  • Phylogeography and population structure of least terns (Sterna antillarum)

    Creator:
    Draheim, Hope M.
    Abstract:
    Historically, least terns (Sterna antillarum) were one of the most common tern species in North America. However, population declines have resulted from direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on their breeding and foraging habitat. Three subspecies of least terns have been described within the United States: California least tern (S. a....

  • Early family risk and children's academic achievement

    Creator:
    Sektnan, Michaella A.
    Abstract:
    Children who have multiple family risk factors are at increased risk for poor developmental outcomes, including poor academic achievement. The present study focused on charting the pathways through which early family risk – as indexed by ethnic minority status, low maternal education, low family income, and chronic maternal depressive symptoms...

  • Quantitative resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei in barley near-isogenic (BISON) lines

    Creator:
    Richardson, Kelley L.
    Abstract:
    Quantitative resistance (QR) to disease is usually more durable than qualitative resistance, but its genetic basis is not well understood. We used the barley/barley stripe rust pathosystem as a model for the characterization of the QR phenotype and associated genomic regions. As an intermediate step in the preparation of near-isogenic...

    White, Beverly B.
    Abstract:
    Changes in lifestyle over the last century have resulted in a dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes in the United States (U.S.). Mexican-Americans, the largest Hispanic/Latino subgroup in the U.S., are 1.7x’s as likely to have diabetes as non- Hispanic Whites. Culturally appropriate approaches for treating diabetes in minority...
