Relative abundance and habitat associations of small mammals in two forest types in southern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Aaron N.
Abstract:: I studied small-mammal communities and their response to grazing in mixed-conifer forests and oak woodlands in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. My objectives were to (1) compare small-mammal communities among forest types and grazing intensities, (2) identify riparian affiliated species, and (3) describe microhabitat associations. Over two years,...

Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

Creator:: Dawes, Jacob
Abstract:: Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

The Politics Expansion Makes: Analyzing the Political Returns and Policy Framing of the ACA's Medicaid Expansion in the States

Creator:: Bishop, Dustin
Abstract:: The 2010 U.S. health reforms expanded health insurance access to millions of Americans, mainly through an unprecedented expansion of Medicaid eligibility to those with low incomes. Not all states chose to expand their programs, resulting in disparate health-benefit access nationally. This study uses quantitative and qualitative analyses to explore the...

Health Outcomes in Pakistan: Empirical essays for Policy Assessment

Creator:: Gardezi, Najam uz Zehra
Abstract:: In resource constrained settings, missing markets and unregulated externalities can have a significant impact on human capital outcomes. High out of pocket expenditure due to the inaccessibility of insurance markets limits the use of healthcare, just as the inability to borrow in the face of a cash constraint may lead...

Data Mining a Design Repository for Automating and Validating Functional Modeling

Creator:: Mikes, Alex B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to build a foundation of understanding and methodologies as the steps toward automating functional modeling. We have achieved significant progress in the automatic generation of functional representations, which can be connected at the interface of components to create a functional model. This work highlights...

Development of a Paper-Based Whole Blood Phenylalanine Assay for PKU Diagnosis and Monitoring in Low Resource Settings

Creator:: Robinson, Robert Tyler
Abstract:: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic inborn metabolic disorder which inhibits the functional production of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It currently affects one in 15,000 Americans and is the most common amino acid metabolism error found in newborns. Individuals affected with PKU are incapable of metabolizing the amino acid, phenylalanine...

Machine Learning Applied to Non-periodic Event Detection – A Special Case in Structural Health Monitoring

Creator:: Hu, Congcong
Abstract:: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is known as the process of implementation of damage detection and characterization strategy. The method is widely used in modern critical equipment to minimize the risk of failures. While a significant effort has been devoted by researchers for the detection of faults in situations including periodic...

Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

Influence of landscape-scale variables on the age and growth of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii in headwater streams

Creator:: Rehe, William G., Jr.
Abstract:: This thesis provides the first general description of the natural variation in age structure, growth rates, and survival in headwater populations of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii from western Oregon, and a subsequent synthesis of these life-history characteristics across the range of the subspecies. Age, growth, and survival were...

Reproduction, demography, and habitat characterization of Astragalus peckii (Fabaceae), a rare central Oregon endemic

Creator:: Martin, Elizabeth F.
Abstract:: With little previous research on Astragalus peckii (Fabaceae), a state-listed Threatened species in Oregon, I investigated three facets of its biology which are integral to the conservation and management of the species. First, a four-year demographic study of two large populations revealed increasing population growth at one site (Chiloquin) and...
