  • Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

    Creator:
    Greaves, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

  • A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Public Reddit and Tumblr Blog Posts on Non-Suicidal Self-Injury

    Creator:
    Greaves, Mandy M.
    Abstract:
    Self-harm is a frightening phenomenon that affects adolescents and young adults all over the world. While non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has a high prevalence rate, it is not a new behavior. One of the earliest documented cases of NSSI was in ancient Greece and it has gained popularity amongst adolescents. NSSI...

  • Systems and methods for multi-robot comedy

    Creator:
    Swaminathan, Janani
    Abstract:
    This thesis seeks to make developing multi-robot comedy performances more accessible to developers and performers, and suggests the use of duo comedy for robot-run research experiments. It involved four main steps: technology development, experimental deployments in the general public, the development of the Multi-Robot Comedy Performance System, and an analysis...

  • Innovative Experimental Methods in Human-Robot Interaction

    Creator:
    Wadgaonkar, Chinmay P.
    Abstract:
    User studies in human-robot interaction and social robotics in general involve human participants and their reactions, observations and expectations of robots. This thesis presents two innovative experimental methods aimed at gaining access to high-stakes social data not typically collectable with traditional user studies. The Actor Method provides access to data...

  • Socially Communicative Multi-Robot Motion and Formation: Algorithm Development and Validation

    Creator:
    Bacula, Alexandra
    Abstract:
    Expressive motion has been found to be a highly effective tool in communicating intent and motivation in single robot human-robot interaction, but work in exploring how groups of robots can use motion in interactions with humans is relatively nascent. There are many additional complexities to consider expanding from single robot...

  • Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

    Creator:
    Olsen, Conner J.
    Abstract:
    We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

  • Introducing and validating a high-throughput bud break sensor

    Creator:
    Kleinknecht, George J.
    Abstract:
    Bud break is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of bud break data is currently constrained by cost, scale, and a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental...

  • Beyond Data and Learning Outcomes: Understanding the Personal and Social Dimensions of Citizen Science Volunteer Engagement

    Creator:
    Harwell, Todd A.
    Abstract:
    Citizen science is a term broadly used to describe activities that typically involve the public in the process, methods, and standards of scientific research with the aim of advancing scientific knowledge or application. Engagement in citizen science for project and program volunteers is influenced by much more than an individual’s...

  • Depression classification of the patients in meta-analyses studies affects the efficacy of St. John's wort

    Creator:
    Ovrebo, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Eight studies from a meta-analysis on St. John's wort by Klaus et. al. (1996) were analyzed according to the severity of depression manifest by their patients. The studies were chosen according to inclusion criteria: 1) the study was random, 2) the study compared St. John's wort to a placebo or...

    Creator:
    Pearson, Heather S.
    Abstract:
    This study explored the motivations, expectations, and experiences of tenure-track faculty members at a public research institution. Through semi-structured interviews with twelve participants, the study utilized a constructivist paradigm to qualitative research to address the individual experiences of faculty members entering the professoriate and pursuing tenure. With this methodology and...
