On a Topological Criterion for the Construction of Higher Arity Metrics

Creator:: Barkan, Willow
Abstract:: Metric spaces (X, d) are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that are able to capture pairwise distance relationships d(x, y) between points x, y ∈ X. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful generalizations there are of metric spaces for capturing “k-wise distance relationships” d(x1,...

Plant-Pollinator Interactions in a Changing World: Cryptic Specialization, Pollinator Movement, and Landscape Genetics of Pollinator-Dependent Plants

Creator:: Gannon, Dustin G.
Abstract:: Plant-pollinator mutualisms are one of the most prevalent and economically important mutualisms in nature. Like many other ecological systems, plant-pollinator communities are threatened by anthropogenic activity, both directly (e.g., habitat conversion and fragmentation) and indirectly (e.g., climate change). While we are aware of many of the activities that adversely impact...

Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Creator:: Wolfe, Christopher Lee
Abstract:: The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

Determining the Minimum Treatment Area and Importance of Soil Irrigation for Solarizing Soil Infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Bennett, Logan L.
Abstract:: Nurseries are an important part of the agriculture industry of the United States. The nursery industry provides ornamental, forest, restoration and specialty products to many markets in N. America. The disease sudden oak death, caused by Phytophthora ramorum, has devastating environmental and economic impacts on forested land, the urban-forest interface,...

Structural investigations to understand the mechanisms of two proteins involved in sulfur chemistry : SsuE and cysteine dioxygenase

Creator:: Driggers, Camden McCullough
Abstract:: Sulfur is one of the six elements required during the early stages of the evolution of life, and enzymes involved in sulfur transfer and oxidation are increasingly being recognized as potential drug targets for antimicrobials as well as for therapies for cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Bacteria are able to...

Effects of Forest Harvest, Floods, and Wildfire on Bedload Export from Headwater Catchments in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, 1957 – 2022

Creator:: Wright, Charles M.
Abstract:: This study examined how annual bedload export volume and bedload characteristics were related to disturbances including logging, floods, debris slides, and wildfires over 48 to 65-year periods in small, steep catchments in conifer forests of the western Cascade Range, Oregon. Bedload – the material rolling, sliding, or saltating along the...

Essays on the economics of land use regulation

Creator:: Lai, Jiayin
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers on land use economics and regulation. The first paper reviews numerous past literatures on how land-use regulation, agricultural subsidies, and use-value assessment method affect land values. The second paper uses a theoretical model to analyze how imposing minimum-lot-size zoning and different designs of minimum-lot-size...

Chemical Reaction Processes in Microscale-Based Reactors; Mathematical Model and Numerical Simulation of the Fischer-Tropsch Process and Activation of Methane in a Corona Discharge Plasma Reactor

Creator:: Traverso, Andrew C.
Abstract:: Worldwide production of natural gas has surged in the last few decades leading to an economic windfall for many communities, but sometimes these new sources of natural gas are located in geographically isolated locations. These areas are so remote that it isn’t economically feasible to transport this stranded gas to...

The historic and contemporary ecology of western Cascade meadows : archeology, vegetation, and macromoth ecology

Creator:: Highland, Steven A.
Abstract:: Montane meadows in the western Cascades of Oregon occupy approximately 5% of the landscape, but contribute greatly to the region's biodiversity. Western Cascades meadows are dynamic parts of the landscape and have contracted by over 50% in the past two hundred years in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (hereafter Andrews...
