Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

Creator:: Nigon, Nutnicha
Abstract:: There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...

Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

Creator:: Nguyen, Duy M.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Headwater Streams and Wetlands are Critical for Sustaining Fish, Fisheries, and Ecosystem Services

Creator:: Colvin, Susan A. R., Sullivan, S. Mazeika P., Shirey, Patrick D., Colvin, Randall W., Winemiller, Kirk O., Hughes, Robert M., Fausch, Kurt D., Infante, Dana M., Olden, Julian D., Bestgen, Kevin R., Danehy, Robert J., and Eby, Lisa
Abstract:: Headwater streams and wetlands are integral components of watersheds that are critical for biodiversity, fisheries, ecosystem functions, natural resource-based economies, and human society and culture. These and other ecosystem services provided by intact and clean headwater streams and wetlands are critical for a sustainable future. Loss of legal protections for...

Seasonal cues induce phenotypic plasticity of Drosophila suzukii to enhance winter survival

Creator:: Shearer, Peter W., West, Jessica D., Walton, Vaughn M., Brown, Preston H., Svetec, Nicolas, and Chiu, Joanna C.
Abstract:: Background: As global climate change and exponential human population growth intensifies pressure on agricultural systems, the need to effectively manage invasive insect pests is becoming increasingly important to global food security. Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest that drastically expanded its global range in a very short time since 2008,...

Local and regional stressors interact to drive a salinization-induced outbreak of predators on oyster reefs

Creator:: Kimbro, David L., White, J. Wilson, Tillotson, Hanna, Cox, Nikkie, Christopher, Megan, Stokes-Cawley, Owen, Yuan, Samantha, Pusack, Timothy J., and Stallings, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Predator outbreaks are predicted to increasingly decimate economically and ecologically important prey populations because global climate change and food-web modifications frequently facilitate predators and stress prey. Natural systems are organized hierarchically, with processes operating at multiple scales giving rise to patterns of biodiversity, so predicting and managing outbreaks requires a...

Tracking the Strength of the Walker Circulation With Stable Isotopes in Water Vapor

Creator:: Dee, Sylvia G., Nusbaumer, Jesse, Bailey, Adriana, Russell, James M., Lee, Jung-Eun, Konecky, Bronwen, Buenning, Nikolaus H., and Noone, David C.
Abstract:: General circulation models (GCMs) predict that the global hydrological cycle will change in response to anthropogenic warming. However, these predictions remain uncertain, in particular, for precipitation (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2013, https://doi .org/10.1017/CB09781107415324.004). Held and Soden (2006, https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI3990.1) suggest that as lower tropospheric water vapor concentration increases in a...

Altering phytoplankton growth rates changes their value as food for microzooplankton grazers

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey A. and Halsey, Kimberly H.
Abstract:: When microzooplankton graze phytoplankton prey, the consumed carbon is partitioned into particulates, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and CO2. Allocation of prey carbon to these various fates has important consequences for marine ecosystem function. A 2-stage continuous culture system was used to investigate carbon allocation by microzooplankton consuming phytoplankton grown in...

Leaf-level physiology in four subalpine plants in tephra-impacted forests during drought

Creator:: Watt, Abby J., Fischer, Dylan G., Antos, Joseph A., and Zobel, Donald B.
Abstract:: Ecological impacts of climate change in the Pacific Northwest may hinge on acclimation to drier summers, highlighting the importance of plant physiological studies in forests. Evaluating dominant forest plant species under old-growth and managed forest conditions is similarly important as timber harvest might change microclimates and alter drought effects on...

EMDUniFrac: exact linear time computation of the UniFrac metric and identification of differentially abundant organisms

Creator:: McClelland, Jason and Koslicki, David
Abstract:: Both the weighted and unweighted UniFrac distances have been very successfully employed to assess if two communities differ, but do not give any information about how two communities differ. We take advantage of recent observations that the UniFrac metric is equivalent to the so-called earth mover's distance (also known as...
