Kinship, Environment and the Forest Service : Homesteading in Oregon's Coast Range

Creator:: Prior, Jan M.
Abstract:: The settlement history of a remote area in the Coast Range of Oregon, from the 1870s to the 1930s, is examined through factors that may have influenced the success or failure, and length of residence of the homesteaders and later residents. Despite the rugged and isolated location, a small community...

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...

Phylogenetic Identification of Pathogenic and Endophytic Fungal Populations in West Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Foliage

Creator:: Daniels, Hazel A.
Abstract:: Douglas-fir provides social, economic, and ecological benefits in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). In addition to timber, forests support abundant plant and animal biodiversity and provide socioeconomic viability for many rural communities. Products derived from Douglas-fir account for approximately 17% of the U.S. lumber output with an estimated value of $1.9...

Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Studies of Excited State Structural Events

Creator:: Tang, Longteng
Abstract:: Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) is an ultrafast vibrational technique which allows rapid collection of Raman spectra with simultaneously high temporal and spectral resolution. With the recent development of FSRS methodology, three FSRS techniques (conventional, tunable, and anti-Stokes) have been implemented in our laboratory to dissect the excited state structural...

Development of an Integrated Generator Power Take-of Strategy using Model Predictive Control (MPC) for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion

Creator:: Sundaram, Srinivasan Subhash
Abstract:: Model Predictive Control (MPC) has previously been investigated on ocean waveenergy converters (WEC) to improve the amount of power captured, while respectingthe system constraints. Previous research done in the same area, focused onbuilding a control scheme by using the knowledge of the past & current statesof the system and predicting...

The Role of Community Cultural Wealth in the Retention of Latino/a Students in the Community College Setting

Creator:: Reeder, Jane F.
Abstract:: Background. Many studies addressing the reasons why minority students fail in higher education are based on what is defined as a deficit model. A deficit model documents that a significant number of minority students fail because their culture is distinct from that of the majority population. Numerous minority students do...

Classifying and Synthesizing 3D Shapes of Objects using Deep Neural Networks

Creator:: Xu, Xu
Abstract:: Reasoning about 3D shape of objects is important for successful computer visionapplications in robotics, 3D rendering and modeling. In this thesis, we address twoproblems { First, given an image, we generate 3D shape of the foreground object thatappears in the image. Second, we predict the class label of the input...

Omen of Mere Event : Vignettes in a Post-Wilderness Landscape

Creator:: Schultz, Aaron A.
Abstract:: This thesis uses a series of non-fiction vignettes to explore objects, agencies, and networks, applying theories of rhetoric and composition directly to experience and vise versa. Focusing on agency--as understood through sociology's actor-networks, post- humanism’s Object Orientated Ontology, and Ecocriticism's ecological approach--I look at events, landscapes, and partnerships that have...

Fully Soft 3D Printed Electroactive Fluidic Valve in Soft Hydraulic Robots

Creator:: Zatopa, Alexander
Abstract:: Soft robots are designed to utilize their compliance and contortionistic abilities to both interact safely with their environment and move through it in ways a rigid robot cannot. To more completely achieve this, the robot should be made of as many soft components as possible. Here we present a completely...

Building a bridge from chromosomes to microtubules in Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Friedman, Steven
Abstract:: DNA is often described as the “blueprint for life”. In eukaryotes this information is contained within linear chromosomes of varying size and number. During cell division, the chromosomes must be faithfully segregated into each daughter cell to avoid disease and sustain life. This process is carried out by the kinetochore...
