  • The sum of its parts : investigating the component pieces of GenderMag

    Creator:
    Hill, Charles
    Abstract:
    Previous work introduced the GenderMag method, a software inspection method used to help software creators identify features within their software that are not gender-inclusive. Inclusiveness of software (gender or otherwise) matters because supporting diversity matters—it is well-known that the more diverse a group of problem-solvers, the higher the quality of...

  • Inter-test Comparison of Three Preschool Language Tests : SICD, PLS, a d PPVT R

    Creator:
    Hansen, Laura S.
    Abstract:
    Thirty preschoolers were tested for language skills using the Preschool Language Scale (PLS), Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R) Form L, and Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD). Each child's age scores on one test were compared to his/her scores on the other two tests. As a group, the children achieved...

  • Factors that influence the quality of teacher implementation of a school-based social-emotional learning and health promotion program

    Creator:
    Malloy, Margaret
    Abstract:
    Research regarding factors that promote high-quality implementation of school-based prevention programs has increased markedly over the past decade as it has become increasingly recognized that evidence-based programs are often not well implemented. Whole-school interventions may be particularly complex to implement because they are intended to involve all school personnel and...

  • Development of an in vitro and modification of an in vivo bioassay to screen cherry genotypes for response to inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae

    Creator:
    Roche, M. Margaret
    Abstract:
    The bacterium Pseudomonas syringae affects different crops worldwide. In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, P. syringae causes bacterial canker in sweet cherry, severely limiting its production. High grafting of susceptible sweet cherry cultivars to resistant rootstocks is practiced in the Willamette Valley to reduce incidence of this disease. The research...

  • Assessment of the vulnerability of Oregon and Washington's natural areas to climate change

    Creator:
    Margaret, Massie H.
    Abstract:
    There are currently more than 580 natural areas in Oregon and Washington managed by 20 federal, state, local, and private agencies and organizations. The natural areas network is unparalleled in its representation of diverse ecosystems found in the region and may be an excellent collection of sites for monitoring long-term...

  • Susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings to Phytophthora ramorum

    Creator:
    Lucas, Sunny L.
    Abstract:
    Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) (D. Don) Endl. is a host for Phytophthora ramorum but it was unclear if the pathogen represents a significant disease risk to this tree species. In this study the susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings and the likelihood of sporulation on redwood were examined. Two methods were...

  • Libraries and the community college baccalaureate : meeting the challenge

    Creator:
    Coslor, Melinda McCormick
    Abstract:
    The community college baccalaureate movement has shown strong growth across the country as a strategy to meet workforce shortages. A variety of forces are driving the movement including (a) employer demand for higher credentials; (b) geographical access to education; (c) lower cost education; (d) a trained workforce to compete in...

  • Stochastic analysis of flow and transport in porous media

    Creator:
    Vasylkivska, Veronika S.
    Abstract:
    Random fields are frequently used in computational simulations of real-life processes. In particular, in this work they are used in modeling of flow and transport in porous media. Porous media as they arise in geological formations are intrinsically deterministic but there is significant uncertainty involved in determination of their properties...

  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • Probabilistic models for quality control in environmental sensor networks

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Networks of distributed, remote sensors are providing ecological scientists with a view of our environment that is unprecedented in detail. However, these networks are subject to harsh conditions, which lead to malfunctions in individual sensors and failures in network communications. This behavior manifests as corrupt or missing measurements in the...
