Factors that motivate Latino students to pursue higher education in selected colleges in the state of Oregon

Creator:: Meza Discua, José Luis
Abstract:: Latinos are the largest and most rapidly growing ethnic minority in the United States, and they have the highest dropout rates of any major ethnic group in the country (U.S. Department of Labor, 2003). Latinos' educational attainment is consistently lower than that of other students (Gandara, 2008). The majority of...

Exploring Vulnerability and Scarcity of Groundwater Resources in Quintana Roo, Mexico

Creator:: Iglesias Thome, Maria Jose
Abstract:: This study examined water scarcity and vulnerability in Quintana Roo, along the northern Caribbean coast of Mexico where rapid growth of tourism in the past 40 years has limited the ability of rural and urban communities to obtain safe, reliable, and equitable access to water services and critical water infrastructure...

Latina student perceptions of learning communities

Creator:: Yaqub, Samia
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the learning that occurs in Latina students who enroll in learning communities designed for underprepared community college students. The research question guiding this study is: What are the experiences of Latina students enrolled in developmental learning community courses which have the greatest...

Mitochondrial decay in the aging rat heart : changes in fatty acid-supported bioenergetics and macromolecular organization of the electron transport system

Creator:: Gómez Ramirez, Luis A.
Abstract:: Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...

Usable and Scalable Querying of Scientific Datasets

Creator:: McCamish, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Scientists and engineers have to analyze and query multiple large databases. Analysis over databases created by phasor measurement units can provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating, processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data efficiently, which...

Techno-economic analysis of algal lipid fuels

Creator:: Xiang, Xuwen
Abstract:: A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the technology, cost, and resource use for algal biofuel production based on today’s economics and technology. The basic goal of this study is to develop a model to calculate the mass and energy balances and costs to produce 10 million gal of...

Leveraging multi-sensor time series datasets to map short- and long-term forest disturbances and drivers of change in the Colombian Andes

Creator:: Murillo Sandoval, Paulo Jose
Abstract:: The spatial distribution of forest disturbance is commonly calculated using a satellite imagery-driven bi- or tri-temporal change analysis. Working in Colombia’s Cordillera de los Picachos National Natural Park – a region of consistent cloud cover and dramatic topographic relief – a change assessment with such infrequent observations cannot capture long-term...

Representationally Robust and Scalable Learning over Relational Databases

Creator:: Picado Leiva, Jose Manuel
Abstract:: Learning novel concepts from relational databases is an important problem with applications in several disciplines, such as data management, natural language processing, and bioinformatics. For a learning algorithm to be effective, the input data should be clean and in some desired representation. However, real-world data is usually heterogeneous – the...

Rapid Grid State Estimation using Singular Value Decomposition

Creator:: Kulkarni, Janhavi
Abstract:: Synchrophasor technology has gained great momentum with the widely adopted concept of smart grids in power systems at transmission and generation level. This has led to an improved state estimation of a power system with the advent of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). PMUs contribute in providing real-time information about the...
