  • Iterative reconstruction methods of CT images using a statistical framework

    Creator:
    Delgado, Diana
    Abstract:
    Medical imaging technologies play a vital role in early diagnosis of disease by providing internal images of the human body to medical professionals. Computed Tomography (CT) is currently the most commonly used medical imaging technology because it is easy to use, detectors and scanners are constantly improving, and more importantly,...

  • A comparison of two neuropsychological concussion assessment batteries

    Creator:
    Padilla, Diana M.
    Abstract:
    Objectives: To compare the neuropsychological concussion assessment testing batteries of the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC™) test and the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT™) test and determine if the tests measure similar neuropsychological functions as well as determine the test-retest reliability of the pre and post season measures...

  • Regional scale sandbar variability : observations from the U.S. Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Di Leonardo, Diana R.
    Abstract:
    Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...

  • Variation in the timing of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning relative to river discharge and temperature

    Creator:
    LovellFord, Rachel M.
    Abstract:
    Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) migration and spawning are unique components of the salmon life cycle because they require synchrony of behavior with other individuals as well as with acceptable fluvial conditions. As with other organisms that exhibit group mating behavior, it is likely that environmental cues trigger coho salmon movement...

  • A physical and chemical characterization of stream water draining three Oregon Coast Range catchments

    Creator:
    Hale, V. Cody
    Abstract:
    Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

  • Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

    Creator:
    Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
    Abstract:
    In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

  • Characterization of flow boiling in a fractal–like branching microchannel network

    Creator:
    Edward, Lee M.
    Abstract:
    Based on experimental investigations the present study evaluates flow instability and void fraction in a fractal-like branching microchannel network with rectangular cross-section. The hydraulic diameter of the channels ranged from 308μm at the inlet to 143μm at the outlet. The flow network used is characterized by set branching ratios for...

  • Willed Women : Female Bodies & Subversive Being in the Knight’s and Second Nun’s Tales

    Creator:
    McLemore, Emily C.
    Abstract:
    This project examines two understudied female characters from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales who emerge as subversive figures by striving to maintain control over their bodies and being. Through my analyses of the Knight’s and Second Nun’s Tales, I reveal how virginity correlates with bodily autonomy for the narratives’ respective protagonists,...

  • Identification of economic, social, and policy factors influencing irrigation district participation in water transactions in the Deschutes Basin

    Creator:
    Whitman, Cally A.
    Abstract:
    Surface water in the Deschutes Basin of central Oregon has been largely over allocated since the early 1900s. Therefore, rapid population growth and urban demand for water in the upper Basin lead to an increased reliance on groundwater in the last three decades. The Oregon Department of Water Resources (OWRD)...
