Analysis of calculus curriculum implementation

Creator:: Collins, Madison
Abstract:: There is high projected growth for STEM-based job fields; however, a significant barrier to students entering those fields is the requirement to take Introductory Calculus. This thesis summarizes the current research done to improve university level math education, specifically calculus courses. It then uses the MAA Instructional Practices Guide to...

Discrete-time quantum walk with two-step memory

Creator:: Jones, Christopher
Abstract:: We examine a discrete-time quantum walk with two-step memory for a particle on a one- dimensional infinite space. The walk is defined with a four-state memory space analogous to the two-state coin space commonly used in discrete time quantum walks, and a method is presented for calculating the time evolution...

Mechanics of three-dimensional microenvironments of cells

Creator:: Jones, Christopher
Abstract:: The structure and mechanics of tissues affect many important cellular functions such as migration, differentiation, and growth. Mechanical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as ECM-mediated mechanical communication between cells, plays a part in coordinating collective cellular dy- namics during critical processes such as morphogenesis, tissue...

The United States Election System: How an Outdated Electoral Structure has led to Political Polarization in the United States

Creator:: Fitzharris, Jacob H.
Abstract:: Political Polarization in the United States is at a level higher today than at any point in the past few decades. Possible causes of this rise in polarization have been provided from various sources, including explanations such as mass media and income inequality. Through historical analysis and a wide literature...

Trends in streamflow from old growth forested watersheds in the western Cascades

Creator:: Moore, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Increasing temperatures in western North America are expected to result in a decline in winter snowpacks, earlier snowmelt, and a shift in the timing of streamflows, with an increasing fraction of streamflows occurring earlier in the water year and drier conditions during the summer. However, few streamflow datasets have associated...

Looking for 'common ground' in genetically modified crops policy : an interview-based study

Creator:: Starr, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Over 90 percent of the soy, cotton, and corn sold in the United States are genetically modified crops (GM crops). However, there was a 209 percent growth in USDA certified organic food from 2005-2015, reflecting a growing interest in non-GMO food. The policy debate over GM crops takes place between...

Topographic heterogeneity and the spatial pattern of air temperature in a mountain landscape

Creator:: Wilson, Brian Marc
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compile, validate, and map minimum and maximum mean monthly temperature and temperature ranges for periods of 10 to 14 months between July 2009 and June 2012, measured using 16 to 182 sensors distributed over the HJ Andrews Forest, a mountain landscape of 64...

Corporate Oregon : A narrative study of Measure 97

Creator:: McMorris, Claire M.
Abstract:: Oregon Ballot Measure 97 is a contentious measure on the Oregon 2016 ballot that seeks to raise taxes on corporations with sales over 25 million dollars within the state of Oregon. Predictably, there has been a considerable amount of dialogue with the public as well as lobbying among elites to...

Peace, But Not at Any Price : The Effects of Rapid Military Demobilization on US Foreign Policy and the Progression of the Nuclear Arms Race 1945-1953

Creator:: Jones, Sean G.
Abstract:: The research conducted here originated with the question of what caused the massive build-up of nuclear arsenals, which included ever larger and more powerful bombs and delivery systems from them, in the United States and the Soviet Union, even though the consensus beforehand was that nuclear energy should be prohibited...

Mapping Wildlife-Relevant Snow Properties in Arctic-Boreal North America; Novel Modelling, Remote-Sensing, and Ground Observation Approaches

Creator:: Cosgrove, Christopher Liam
Abstract:: Arctic-boreal regions are exhibiting the symptoms of profound ecological shifts as they experience pronounced warming. Wildlife in high-latitudes are one such harbinger of change, and their populations are undergoing range-shifts, declines, and extinctions in response to their rapidly altering habitats. As the circumpolar and boreal north is snow-covered for up...
