Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...
Throughout their lifetime individuals are exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals. The study of chemical mixtures is an internationally recognized research priority, but seemingly complex challenge. To reduce the intricacy of studying mixtures, researchers have identified different prioritization methods based on exposure or the toxicity of chemicals. However, understanding the...
The purpose of this research was to develop methods for using geographic information system (GIS) analysis and unsupervised classification of Global Vegetation Index (GVI) images to improve carbon budget estimates of the former Soviet Union (FSU). A GIS was used to locate the geographic distribution and estimate the area of...
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a process commonly used to create additively manufactured metal parts. The flexibility and complexity allowed by the LPBF process provides opportunity for significant advancement in multiple industries as parts can be customized in shape and function for specific needs. These benefits can be compounded...
The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...
In this dissertation, we introduce a family of fully discrete finite difference time-domain (FDTD) methods for Maxwell’s equations in linear and nonlinear materials. Onecategory of methods is constructed using multiscale techniques involving operator splittings. We present the sequential splitting scheme, the Strang Marchuk splitting scheme,the weighted sequential splitting scheme including...
This project provides insight on the current state of forest management policy, as it relates to climate change in the United States. It analyzes the current statutory framework that governs the management of National Forests and administrative Executive Orders that can determine federal agency direction. A comparative analysis is conducted...
