Extensions to Gaussian copula models

Creator:: Fang, Yan
Abstract:: A copula is the representation of a multivariate distribution. Copulas are used to model multivariate data in many fields. Recent developments include copula models for spatial data and for discrete marginals. We will present a new methodological approach for modeling discrete spatial processes and for predicting the process at unobserved...

Assessing the knowledge of county extension agents on geotextile applications for agricultural practices in Oregon and Idaho

Creator:: Brown, Linda Lee
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to assess county extension agents' knowledge of geotextiles; to determine their current level of information and their location on an adoption-diffusion curve; and to determine the agents' attitudes toward the potential use of geotextiles in agriculture, specifically in soil erosion control. A questionnaire was...

The Deschutes Formation: evidence of extension-enhanced explosivity in the early High Cascades

Creator:: Pitcher, Bradley W.
Abstract:: The eruptive history of the Quaternary Cascades arc has been relatively well characterized. However, much less is known about the frequency and sizes of explosive eruptions produced by earlier stages of the arc. The Late Neogene Deschutes Formation of Central Oregon preserves a remarkable record of heightened pyroclastic activity during...

Novel Extensions and New Applications for Nonparametric Self-Exciting Point Processes

Creator:: Boyd, Peter C.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I will demonstrate a novel application of self-exciting point process models to mass shooting data. I will also introduce two adaptations to the traditional nonparametric Hawkes process modeling framework. One such modification allows for the estimation of the additional productivity introduced by an event that is not...

Investigation of Chain Extension Approaches for the Stereoselective Reagent-Controlled Synthesis of alpha-Heteroatom Substituted Alkyl Boronic Esters

Creator:: Barsamian, Adam L.
Abstract:: Two distinct strategies were explored for the enantioselective synthesis of α-heteroatom substituted alkyl boronic esters by stereoselective reagent-controlled homologation using transient chiral carbenoid reagents CHYMX (Y = heteroatom, X = nucleofuge, M = electrofuge). In the first case, a stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (sStReCH) approach to α-alkoxyalkylboronates using α-metalated S,O- and...

Examining the Contribution of Self-Regulation and Executive Function Skills to School Readiness and Longer-Term Achievement Gaps: A Replication and Extension in Statewide and National Datasets

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation in early childhood encompasses higher-order executive function processes and lower-order emotional responses that enable children to navigate the classroom environment. Although self-regulation and executive functions are overlapping constructs, self-regulation represents a broad assessment of children’s ability to call upon executive function processes in order to meet contextual demands. Prior...

Understanding school bullying and workplace abuse in a Taiwanese context

Creator:: Lin, Yu-Hui
Abstract:: Bullying prevents its targets from enjoying a safe, stress-free living, learning, and working environment. For most children, bullying experiences will be merely unpleasant childhood memories. This remains the same in adult's working environment. During the past decade, the concept of workplace abuse has had an increasing resonance within western countries....

Knowledge, information-seeking behavior, and health beliefs about prostate cancer and breast cancer among men 18-40 years of age : a pilot study and comparative analysis

Creator:: Johnson, Brian Keith
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is responsible for a substantial loss of life and burden of suffering among adult males. Evidence suggests that the risk of morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer can be reduced through specific screening and dietary practices (MCI, 2002; Ries et al., 2002). Further evidence suggests that screening can...

Common insect and mite galls of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Larew, Hiram, 1953- and Capizzi, Joseph
Abstract:: Anyone with an interest in plants or insects, anyone who cares for a lawn, grows a crop, or enjoys an outdoor walk sooner or later will notice galls. The purpose of this booklet is to provide brief answers to some of the common questions that people ask about galls and...

Seismicity at the Cascadia plate boundary beneath the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Williams, Mark Charles
Abstract:: Since 2003, 39 small earthquakes have been detected offshore central Oregon in the nominally locked part of the Cascadia subduction zone, where very little seis- mic activity has been recorded in spite of a paleo-seismic record of great subduction events. Although the regional earthquake bulletin reports depths of 29 and...
