Factors Affecting Black-footed Ferret Populations within the Great Plains Region of North America: A Case Study

Creator:: Hodges, Rodney J.
Abstract:: The black-footed ferret is a meso-predator within the Great Plains region of North America. Before the 1900s, black-footed ferret populations were self-sustaining in large ecological patches throughout the geographical range of the Great Plains. During the 1900s, various factors such as the systematic extermination of prairie dogs (the primary food...

The role of international water treaties in mitigating the transboundary negative environmental and social impacts of dams

Creator:: Idris, Hussam
Abstract:: Given the recent attention to dams in developing countries as a means to efficiently utilize water resources, mitigating the negative environmental and social impacts they have on riparian states is of utmost importance. This thesis presents a global review of how basin countries, through international water treaties (IWT), ensure that...

Learning-based Techniques for Fast and Robust Motion Planning

Creator:: Chow, Scott
Abstract:: Motion planning is a cornerstone of autonomous robots, enabling robots to safely and efficiently perform tasks such as package delivery, infrastructure inspection, and manipulation. However, as the field of robotics matures, robotic systems are being developed that (1) are challenging to analytically model, (2) require computationally expensive model-based controllers, and...

Conceptual learning gains for face-to-face and asynchronous online course modalities in introduction to materials science

Creator:: Nigon, Nutnicha, Simionescu, Dana, Ekstedt, Thomas W., Koretsky, Milo D., and Tucker, Julie D.
Abstract:: Different educational modalities can affect students in learning challenging engineering concepts. Studies that specifically measure students’ conceptual learning gains have been conducted in face-to-face (F2F) and online modalities, but few direct comparisons have been reported. In this study, we collected data from undergraduate students enrolled in introductory materials science courses...

Breaking barriers : evaluating online education platforms to connect students with remote research opportunities

Creator:: Rohlman, Diana, Shi, Tianhong, and Barton, Michael
Abstract:: Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) is a strategy for integrating community needs, priorities, and concerns into the research design, data collection strategies, and subsequent analysis of data. CEnR shares similar properties with both citizen science and community-based participatory research (Woolley et al., 2016). Before the COVID-19 pandemic, CEnR occurred predominantly via face-to-face...

Action Segmentation in Videos: Deep Models, Prediction Diffusion, and Deep-Temporal Augmentations

Creator:: Aziere, Nicolas
Abstract:: This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...

Removing Residual Lane Markings to Reduce Driver Confusion

Creator:: Weber, Jane B.
Abstract:: When pavement markings on roadways are removed, scarring can occur leaving behind traces of where the marking used to be called ghost lines. These ghost lines can confuse drivers on the roadway and divert their attention from the correct lane markings leading them into the false lane. Previous research has...

Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Bees of the Pacific Northwest : key to Lasioglossum species for females of the subgenera Hemihalictus, Sphecodogastra, and Evylaeus in Oregon (Hymenoptera : Halictidae)

Creator:: Engler, Joseph D., Gorman, Mark, Cappaert, David, Stanton, Marek, Best, Lincoln R., and Jackson, August S.
Abstract:: The following taxonomic keys are adapted in part from the subgeneric and species descriptions and keys produced by McGinley (2003), Gibbs et al. (2013) and Gardner and Gibbs (2022). Additional identification information was provided by Jason Gibbs, Thilina Hettiarachchi (University of Manitoba), and Joel Gardner (Washington State University). While these...

Greening a Red State: Understanding the Complexities of Environmental Policy in Florida

Creator:: Dearden, Grace
Abstract:: In some legislative bodies, the use of terms like climate change and global warming is frequently seen as taboo. In the United States, voters who identify as right-leaning have reported little concern about the environment or climate change. This lack of interest is mirrored by Republican legislators who often publicly...
