  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Marine Neritic and Epipelagic Community Dynamics: An Investigation of the 'Yin' and 'Yang', No-Analog, and Refugia from a Multi-species Perspective

    Creator:
    Barceló, Caren
    Abstract:
    Changes in ocean conditions influenced by climatic fluctuations have lead to changes in individual species distributions, which alter the diversity, communities and species interactions across marine ecosystems worldwide. Assessing the species composition and identifying regions and habitats that can safeguard the persistence of biota are critically important. In this dissertation,...

  • Zeros of Certain Combinations of Products of Eisenstein Series

    Creator:
    Klangwang, Jetjaroen
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we begin by presenting the result of F. K. C. Rankin and Swinnerton-Dyer on the location of the zeros of the Eisenstein series for the full modular group in the standard fundamental domain. Their simple but beautiful argument shows that all zeros are located on the lower...

  • Design and Implementation of a Frequency Controlled Electric Hot Water Heater Retrofit Thermostat

    Creator:
    Johanesen, Mackenzie S.
    Abstract:
    This design of a Grid Friendly Electric Hot Water Heater Thermostat was built for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Design course, ECE44x. The design enables hot water heaters to respond to imbalances in the grid seen through deviations from standard grid frequency by varying the power output to the...

  • Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

    Creator:
    Anderson, Aaron G.
    Abstract:
    Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...

  • Estimation and Sparse Selection of Conditional Probability Models for Vector Time Series

    Creator:
    Ruiz, Trevor D.
    Abstract:
    Diverse scientific fields collect multiple time series data to investigate the dynamical behavior of complex systems: atmospheric and climate science, geophysics, neuroscience, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental science. Identifying patterns of mutual dependence among such data generates valuable knowledge that can be applied either for inferential or forecasting purposes. Vector autoregressive...

  • Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

    Creator:
    Shakun, Jeremy D.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...

  • Changes in hyporheic exchange flow following experimental large wood removal in a second order, low gradient stream, Chichagof Island, AK

    Creator:
    La Nier, Justin
    Abstract:
    Hyporheic Exchange Flow (HEF) is driven by head gradients defined by the hydro-topography of the stream surface, which is controlled by the particular geomorphology of the stream. We quantified the impact of large wood, which typically exerts a strong control on stream morphology, on HEF in a second order, low...

  • Characterization of the Small-Strain Stiffness of Soils at an In-situ Liquefaction Test Site

    Creator:
    Donaldson, Aleyna M.
    Abstract:
    Strong ground motions from earthquakes can result in the reduction of the shear modulus and wave propagation characteristics of soils, and can produce liquefaction and cyclic softening during shaking and for some time following the seismic event. While the ground motions produced from controlled blasting are different than those in...

  • Reproductive implications of parasitic infections and immune challenges in garter snakes

    Creator:
    Uhrig, Emily J.
    Abstract:
    Parasitic infections and immune challenges can affect host reproductive fitness and, ultimately, the evolution of host populations in a myriad of ways. The fitness implications of parasitic infections range from increased host mortality to subtle changes in reproductive investment. From alterations of behaviors, sexual signaling, and competitive ability to changes...
