  • Classification of Native Vegetation of Oregon - 2019

    Creator:
    Kagan, James S., Brunner, Rachel L., and Christy, John A.
    Abstract:
    This classification is an update of the 2004 classification of native vegetation of Oregon by Kagan, Christy, Murray and Titus. As before, this classification lists the native plant associations known to occur in Oregon, and includes both successional and climax vegetation types that were part of the presettlement landscape of...

    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    We present a user study to investigate the impact of explanations on non-experts' understanding of reinforcement learning (RL) agents. We investigate both a common RL visualization, saliency maps (the focus of attention), and a more recent explanation type, reward-decomposition bars (predictions of future types of rewards). We designed a 124...

  • Subsistence Harvest Diversity in Alaskan Food Sharing Networks

    Creator:
    Scaggs, Shane A.
    Abstract:
    Two striking characteristics of human beings are the diversity of resources that we use to sustain our lives and the extent to which we engage in coordinated, collective efforts to obtain and consume these resources. Together, these two characteristics are the foundation of human subsistence patterns. In many remote Alaskan...

  • HIV and the Transmasculine Community – Can Statistical Significance Be Harmful?

    Creator:
    Harger, Stephen A.
    Abstract:
    Epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS seeks to determine at-risk populations not reached by current care. In the forty years since the AIDS epidemic began, transgender people were only recently deemed “at-risk” by the CDC and more action was taken to study them. Most current research centers on transgender women, with transgender...

  • Why Anchor Forests? Exploring a Conceptual Framework for Tribal Leadership in Cross-boundary Forest Governance

    Creator:
    Jacobson, Meredith A.
    Abstract:
    In response to the increasing pace and scale of wildfire and forest health challenges, the Intertribal Timber Council (ITC) proposed the creation of “Anchor Forests,” where a tribe would convene surrounding landowners to collaboratively manage the entire landscape, across property boundaries. This emergent concept has sparked conversation but has not...

  • Scaling the Issue of Changing Disturbance Regimes: Implications of Novel Landscape Conditions for Black Stain Root Disease

    Creator:
    Bouché, Adam J.
    Abstract:
    Changes to disturbance regimes resulting from shifts in forest management practices have created novel landscape conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). I analyzed the implications of changes to landscape conditions caused by forest management for the spread of a native root disease: black stain root disease (BSRD) of Douglas-fir. BSRD...

  • A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

    Creator:
    Buskirk, John
    Abstract:
    The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...

  • Accounting for Transient Dynamics Improves use of Marine Protected Areas as a Reference Point for Fisheries Management

    Creator:
    Quennessen, Victoria I.
    Abstract:
    Fisheries management that is based on quantitative assessment has commonly relied on estimating the unfished biomass of a fished stock to compare current and historical population size. Developing predictive models for this requires many years of catch and abundance data. Smaller, new, or mainly recreational fisheries may not have the...
