  • The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

    Creator:
    Lewis, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

  • 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...

  • Implementation Techniques for Variational Data Structures

    Creator:
    Meng, Meng
    Abstract:
    Many applications require not only representing variability in software and data, butalso computing with it. To do so efficiently requires variational data structures thatmake variability explicit in the underlying data and the operations used to manipulate it.Variational data structures have been developed ad hoc for many applications, but thereis little...

  • Seismic assessment of unreinforced and retrofitted masonry buildings using Applied Element Method (AEM)

    Creator:
    Soti, Rajendra
    Abstract:
    A significant number of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings exist in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America that is a region of high seismicity, which could be subjected to both crustal and subduction zone earthquakes. The catastrophic and brittle failures associated with URM buildings in the past...

  • Graphene Biotransistors, an Exploration of Neurosensing and Biofilm-sensing Applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    Atomically-thin graphene sheets have unprecedented characteristics for biosensing applications. These characteristics include mechanical flexibility and strength, optical transparency, electrical sensitivity and biocompatibility. The primary theme of this dissertation is the characterization and application of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) in biologically-relevant physiological environments.Understanding the interface that forms between an electrolyte and...

  • A Review of Water Banking in State Legislation of the Western United States

    Creator:
    Brennan, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    Among the suite of water resources management strategies, water banking can be a tool for water resource management in areas with high water demands or localized water scarcity. This research aims to further the understanding of water banking by conducting a review and analysis of relevant state legislation. This research...

  • Hitchcock in Hollywood: Examining the Master of Suspense’s Career with Rebecca and Psycho

    Creator:
    Flanagan, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    This project examines the production histories of two films that Alfred Hitchcock directed, his Hollywood debut Rebecca (1940) and the memorable Psycho (1960). The first chapter explores how Hitchcock succeeded and failed at influencing the picture as he, despite directing the movie, had to follow the vision that his producer,...

  • Controlling Important Pathogens in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Assessing Cryopreservation Survival of Bacteria and Parasites and Clinical Sensitivity of Mycobacterial qPCR Assays

    Creator:
    Norris, Lauren J.
    Abstract:
    Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the most commonly used animal models in biomedical research. Zebrafish resource facilities, like the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) in Eugene, Oregon, are the main providers and keepers of numerous zebrafish wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines. Although ZIRC maintains live zebrafish at various life...

  • Interlayer Electronic Interactions in Twisted and Stacked Bilayer Graphene

    Creator:
    Patel, Hiral
    Abstract:
    The photophysical properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered van der Waals (vdW) materials, and their heterostructures are manifestly distinct from crystalline bulk materials. Recently, the discovery of new 2D vdW materials and strongly-bound interlayer excitons in these materials has created a new branch in nanoscience. As such, there are a number...

  • Integrated Spatial and Temporal Stochastic Model in Radiation Biology : Design, Implementation, and Application

    Creator:
    Liu, Ruirui
    Abstract:
    Mathematical modeling plays a pivotal role in understanding the mechanism of radiation-induced cellular effects, and also in quantifying the radiation risk to the cell. However, there are still compelling challenges facing the conventional modeling in radiobiology, such as lacking a generalized theory structure of quantifying target effect and non-target effect...
