A case study on the unsustainable use of the High Plains Aquifer

Creator:: Robinson, Kathleen S.
Abstract:: The High Plains Aquifer, a natural resource critical to the United States economic, energy and food security, faces significant sustainability challenges in the coming years. This case study aims to identify the main causes and consequences of unsustainable use of the High Plains Aquifer. The agriculture industry plays the largest...

A Culture of Resilience: Social Capital and Climate Adaptation in Post-Flood Boulder County

Creator:: Shepard, Stephanie
Abstract:: Scientists say that climate change is very likely to cause more frequent and more severe weather events. In order to understand how communities respond to changing weather patterns, an exploration of the connection between extreme weather events and climate change awareness, collective action, and policy is warranted. This case study...

A distributed mixed-integer-programming approach to fair trajectory planning of autonomous systems

Creator:: Brahmbhatt, Khushal
Abstract:: In a scenario where multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) run by different operators are conducting their independent missions in an urban environment, it is important that the limited airspace is shared in a fair manner. Clarity and uniformity in communicating mission specifications to a central controller is also crucial. This...

A review and assessment of network concepts and their applications in geography and related disciplines

Creator:: Versluis, Anna J.
Abstract:: Networks are a structure common to many disciplines. Research on networks has taken different forms in domains such as graph theory, sociology, vascular networks, small-world networks, geomorphology, ecology, evolution and engineering. Networks may be modeled as non-spatial networks (unvalued graphs), which contain only topological information, or as spatial networks (valued...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...

A Sticky Problem: Identifying the Barriers to the Adoption of Fats, Oils, and Grease as an Energy Feedstock in Oregon

Creator:: Davidson, Ian T.
Abstract:: This study investigates the barriers faced by fats, oil, and grease (FOG) as an energy feedstock in the state of Oregon. FOG, which typically originates in food service establishments (FSEs), historically has been treated as waste, yet it also has the chemical make up to be an energy feedstock in...

A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

Creator:: Zhang, Wenpeng
Abstract:: Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

Application of the Variational Database Management System to Schema Evolution and Software Product Lines

Creator:: Li, Qiaoran
Abstract:: As a general solution to the problem of managing structural and content variability in relational databases, in previous work we have introduced the Variational Database Management System (VDBMS). VDBMS consists of a representation of a variational database (VDB) and a corresponding typed query language (v-query). However, since this is a...

Assessing the Implications of the 2016 Oregon Minimum Wage Increase for Direct Market Farmers and Their Employees

Creator:: Trant, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Oregon is one of several states to implement a new and innovative minimum wage policy. The Oregon policy defines three regions with each having a separate initial minimum wage and a different set of incremental increases over the next seven years. This paper explores how this policy change may impact...

Baseline Wilderness Character Monitoring Assessment for the Ochoco National Forest

Creator:: Deibel, Jenna K.
Abstract:: Wilderness character monitoring (WCM) is an interagency strategy created in 2008 in collaboration between the four federal land management agencies that manage designated wilderness (Forest Service, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management) and other contributors (Landres et al. 2008a). The reports created from this...
