Foraging ecology and reproductive energetics of the Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Hatch, Nick R.
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a species of conservation concern over the entirety of its known range, which spans coastal Alaska and northeastern Russia. Concerns about the status of the species have been raised due to evidence of population declines in key breeding areas, low reproductive output, and perceived...

Bridge Damage State Detection Based on Strain-Based Wireless Structural Health Monitoring

Creator:: Slaven, Kelli R.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest is at risk for significant seismic and tsunami events, which are capable of severely damaging lifeline transportation infrastructure, particularly bridges. As the bridges in the United States age and begin to show signs of fatigue, the risk for severe damage increases. Proper monitoring and inspection of bridges...

Assessing the Risk and Resilience of Coastal Communities: An Application to the Joint Seismic-Tsunami Hazard at Seaside, Oregon

Creator:: Sanderson, Dylan, R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents two conceptually linked papers outlining methodologies to improve community resilience. Both papers employ Seaside, Oregon as a testbed community and consider the seismic-tsunami hazard posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first paper presents a framework to deaggregate the results of a multi-hazard, multi-infrastructure, damage analysis by...

An assessment of the relationship between culturally specific coping methods and occupational stress for black male counselor educators : Implications for increased diversity in CACREP accredited programs

Creator:: Dempsey, Keith
Abstract:: The absence of Black male counselor educators in CACREP accredited programs is astounding. Out of a pool of 130 CACREP programs, only 31 have at least one Black male full time counselor educator. Although these programs are comprised of approximately 2,000 counselor educators, only 58 of them are Black men....

Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

Creator:: Duncan, Sean M.
Abstract:: A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

Statistical analysis of RNA sequencing count data

Creator:: Mi, Gu
Abstract:: RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has rapidly become the de facto technique in transcriptome studies. However, established statistical methods for analyzing experimental and observational microarray studies need to be revised or completely re-invented to accommodate RNA-Seq data's unique characteristics. In this dissertation, we focus on statistical analyses performed at two particular stages in...

Numerical assessment of steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system design procedure

Creator:: Li, Wennan
Abstract:: The Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system, is an innovative seismic lateral force resistant system, which has experienced increased use over the last three decades. The SPSW system is composed of boundary elements which anchor web plates that develop diagonal tension fields. A number of SPSW buildings have been built...
