  • The accuracy of parents' perceptions of their preschool children's gross motor abilities

    Creator:
    Groner, Michael
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which parents and professionals were in agreement prior to and following intervention regarding their Judgement of the gross motor abilities of the parents' preschool children. Each child was tested by a professional on the Ulrich Test of Gross Motor...

  • Integrating climate change resilience into the monitoring and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on Washington’s aquatic reserves

    Creator:
    Bleke, Erica
    Abstract:
    Eelgrass (Zostera marina) provides critical ecosystem functions and services and is a vital biogenic habitat on Washington’s marine aquatic reserves but its placement at the land-sea interface leaves it vulnerable to multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors. In this study, published scientific literature is examined to identify thresholds of environmental stressors...

  • 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...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

    Creator:
    Wang, Wei
    Abstract:
    A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

  • Computational Investigation and Prediction of Mechanisms and Stereocontrol in Complex Organic Reactions

    Creator:
    Pattawong, Ommidala
    Abstract:
    Complex organic transformations, such as the addition of pyrrole to ketene using planar chiral organocatalyst (*PPY), the four-component anhydride- Manniach reactions, and the site-selective desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diol, are remarkable synthetic reactions that provide high yield and high selectivity. However, the exact mechanism and origins of stereocontrol for theses synthetic organic...

  • Demographic effects on school support in Oregon

    Creator:
    Kepler, Richard J.
    Abstract:
    The differences in the per student cost of education and the taxes to pay for that education can be attributed, in part, to the rate of population growth within a school district. The lowest coats and taxes are found in those school districts with the fastest growing populations. As the...

  • Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

    Creator:
    Biga, Lindsay M.
    Abstract:
    Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

  • Atomic Layer Deposition of Multi-Insulator Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitors

    Creator:
    Austin, Dustin Z.
    Abstract:
    Back end of line (BEOL) metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) have become a core passive component in modern integrated circuits. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) projections for scaling of analog/mixed-signal MIMCAP applications require simultaneously increasing capacitance density while maintaining low leakage current density and low voltage nonlinearity (characterized by the quadratic...

    Lok, Pat Jiun-chang
    Abstract:
    This method of character recognition is according to the topological features of a.given character. First store the image of a Chinese character into the storage of the computer. Each image of the character appears as a 20 x 20 binary matrix. Each small square in the matrix is designated as...
