  • Red tree voles in fragmented forests

    Creator:
    Piasecki, Jason T.
    Abstract:
    The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly associated with old forests, often inhabiting stands over 80 years old, tree voles have also been found in young forests between 20 and 80 years old....

  • New Approaches to Depth-Based Render Techniques Using Pixel Synchronization

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Bryan
    Abstract:
    As the nonstop advancement of graphics hardware continues, new features are being added to the graphics pipeline on a regular basis. One of these advancements is called Pixel Synchronization, which allows a graphics programmer more power with certain types of data structures that may be accessed by multiple shader units...

  • 3D Voronoi Subdivision for Simulating Destructible and Granular Materials

    Creator:
    Clothier, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    In many traditional computer graphics applications, rendered scenes typically utilize 3D meshes to represent objects within an environment. As the demand to further improve the realism of graphics applications increases, such as for movies and games, it is becoming more important to represent the inner volumes of object meshes. In...

  • Interactive 3D line integral convolution on the GPU

    Creator:
    Lakshmanan, Vasumathi
    Abstract:
    The Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a mainstay of flow visualization. It is, however, computationally intensive, which limits its interactivity. Also, when used to view three-dimensional (3D) vector fields, the resulting images are dense and cluttered, making it difficult to perceive the flow on the interior parts of the field....

  • Mapping disturbance interactions from earth and space : insect effects on tree mortality, fuels, and wildfires across forests of the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Meigs, Garrett W.
    Abstract:
    Given the vital role of forest ecosystems in landscape pattern and process, it is important to quantify the effects, feedbacks, and uncertainties associated with forest disturbance dynamics. In western North America, insects and wildfires are both native disturbances that have influenced forests for millennia, and both are projected to increase...

  • The Winners and Losers of Sarbanes-Oxley

    Creator:
    Bailey, Derek
    Abstract:
    As a result of numerous financial scandals at the turn of the 21st century, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002, requiring all publicly-listed companies to comply with regulations aimed at reducing the amount of material misstatements in the financial statements, both frauds and errors. Although the costs of...

  • Assessing Post-fire Tree and Understory Vegetation Response to a Mixed-severity Fire Gradient in the Klamath Mts., Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Terzioglu, Cihat
    Abstract:
    Severe wildfires are increasing in the western United States, impacting vegetation structure, and in turn, forest regeneration conditions. These wildfires are also raising a substantial amount of scientific and management concern regarding the resilience of forested ecosystems, or the ability of the ecosystem to return to a pre-fire condition. This...

  • Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Associated with Reproductive Success of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) at East Sand Island, Columbia River Estuary

    Creator:
    Bailey, Olivia A.
    Abstract:
    Declines in wild salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations in the Columbia River basin have resulted in managers identifying that avian predation on juvenile salmonids is an important limiting factor for salmonid recovery. Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia), particularly those nesting in the Columbia River estuary, were identified as key avian predators that...

  • Fuel Treatment Longevity in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

    Creator:
    Morici, Kat
    Abstract:
    Wildland fires are an increasingly extensive, expensive, and frequent occurrence in dry forests of the western United States. Fuel reduction treatments are designed to reduce extreme fire behavior, promote resilient forest structure, and facilitate fire control efforts. Although there is widespread recognition that repeated treatments are needed to maintain desired...

  • Assessing alternatives for fuel reduction treatment and Pacific marten conservation in the southern Cascades and northern Sierra Nevada

    Creator:
    Credo, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Forest managers are challenged to restore resilience to forests with an elevated risk of stand-replacing fire by using mechanical thinning and prescribed fire. Implementation of these methods can be constrained by mandates to conserve sensitive wildlife species like the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Martens avoid simplified forest stands created by...
