An economic evaluation of logging road maintenance

Creator:: Feeney, Daniel John
Abstract:: This thesis describes the results of a project conducted to determine the economics of forest road maintenance alternatives between periods of timber harvesting. An open road and a closed road alternative will be compared to the economics of clearcutting an entire area and obliterating the road system until reentry at...

Beyond high hopes : educational attainment among children of immigrants

Creator:: Feeney, Sarah L.
Abstract:: In light of broadening racial/ethnic educational attainment gaps, growing diversity within young populations, and the increasingly critical relationship between higher education and outcomes in adulthood, understanding the factors that shape educational attainment is an especially important task for research. With this goal in mind, the current study examined how national...

Generalized linear mixed models with censored covariates

Creator:: Giovanini, John
Abstract:: This dissertation is about statistical methods for data analysis using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) with censored covariates. Special attention in given to the particular problem of inference about age-specific reproductive success in wild animal populations using some animals with known ages and some animals with ages only known to...

Convergent crater circulations on Mars: Influence on the surface pressure cycle and the depth of the convective boundary layer

Creator:: Tyler, Daniel Jr and Barnes, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: Modeling of slope flow circulations in idealized axisymmetric craters is used to understand (1) the large surface pressure amplitude observed in Gale Crater by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station and (2) the shallow convective boundary layer (CBL) suggested by Curiosity imagery. Air temperatures vary within craters with greater amplitudes than...

Sub-Perfect Game: Profitable Biases of NBA Referees

Creator:: Price, Joseph, Remer, Marc, and Stone, Daniel F.
Abstract:: This paper empirically investigates three hypotheses regarding biases of National Basketball Association (NBA) referees. Using a sample of 28,388 quarter-level observations from six seasons, we find that referees make calls that favor home teams, teams losing during games, and teams losing in playoff series. All three biases are likely to...

Assessing the Risk and Resilience of Coastal Communities: An Application to the Joint Seismic-Tsunami Hazard at Seaside, Oregon

Creator:: Sanderson, Dylan, R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents two conceptually linked papers outlining methodologies to improve community resilience. Both papers employ Seaside, Oregon as a testbed community and consider the seismic-tsunami hazard posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first paper presents a framework to deaggregate the results of a multi-hazard, multi-infrastructure, damage analysis by...

A study of the DNA excision repair capabilities of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed to dietary cyclopropenoid fatty acids

Creator:: Collier, John Mark
Abstract:: The DNA repair capabilities of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied vising the method of autoradiography. Trout were fed a semi-purified control diet containing 0 ppm, 50 ppm, or 300 ppm cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) for 6-9 weeks. Liver slices were prepared and exposed in vitro to a control treatment,...
