  • Recreational Boating on the Mid-Columbia River (St. Helens to the Dalles): Planning for a Network of Public Transient Tie-Up Facilities

    Creator:
    Burr, Susan
    Abstract:
    This study is the second of a three-part project to determine potential locations for public transient tie-up facilities along the Columbia River. The goal of the three studies is to identify opportunities for developing a network of facilities, which will enable recreational boaters to safely traverse Oregon's portion of the...

  • Spatial and age class analysis of managed western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) woodlands in central Oregon

    Creator:
    Zophy, Kelley T.
    Abstract:
    Juniper is a native species to Oregon and confers ecological benefits to wildlife when it is at savannah and transitional densities. Its range and extent have fluctuated with climatic change, but the current range expansion is unprecedented in its extent. The range expansion has been associated with the degradation of...

  • Anticipating impacts

    Creator:
    Hermens, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    We present an approach for generating a character’s response in anticipation of an impending impact. Protective anticipatory movement is built upon several simple actions that have been identified as response mechanisms in monkeys and in humans. These actions are parameterized by a model of the interaction based on the approaching...

  • 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...

  • A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

    Creator:
    Casburn, Ledah
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

  • Pineapple juice : phenolic composition and enzymatic browning inhibition

    Creator:
    Wen, Ling
    Abstract:
    The phenolic profile of pineapple juice was analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC/Diode Array Detector, and 9 major peaks accounting for 70% of total peak area were characterized. None of these peaks are represented by the pineapple phenolics reported to be present by previous workers. Most of the major peaks are not...

  • Hazards of inequality : comparing two neighborhoods in San Francisco in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake

    Creator:
    Moore, Monika Z.
    Abstract:
    This study examined two neighborhoods in San Francisco with similar earthquake-induced ground failure history -- the Marina District and the South of Market Area (SoMa) -- in the aftermath of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The earthquake struck shortly after 5 pm on October 17th, 1989 and registered 6.9 in...

  • Food deserts in the Willamette : a study of food access in Lane County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Smith, Dianna Marie
    Abstract:
    According to USDA research, Oregon in 2002 had the highest rate of hunger and one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the United States. Although the margin of error involved with these statistics indicates that the state may not actually be at the top of the list, a...

  • Interactive football playbook

    Creator:
    Neumann, Christoph
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a domain specific visual language designed to allow coaches to create content that exhibits the complex 2D interactions observed in the game of American football. Coaches can visually program the content by using symbols and drawing primitives similar to those that they currently use to design static...
