Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

Investigation into the role of strength and toughness in composite materials with an angled incident crack

Creator:: Grimm, Brian A.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanical behavior of composite materials requires extensive knowledge of fracture behavior as a crack approaches an interface between the bulk material and the reinforcement structure. Overall material toughness can be greatly influenced by the propensity of an impinging crack to propagate directly through the substrate or deflect along...

An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

Creator:: Zelenke, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...

Determinants of student intention to engage in laboratory versus non-laboratory science learning behavior

Creator:: Ray, Brian Daniel
Abstract:: The purpose was to gain information about the determinants of student behavior with respect to laboratory (lab) and non-laboratory (non-lab) science learning activities. Fishbein and Ajzen's (1975) theory of reasoned action was used to investigate students' salient beliefs, correlations between determinants of intention, and the relative weights of determinants of...

Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

Creator:: King, Brian D.
Abstract:: We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...

Spatial patterns of predaceous and phytophagous apple mites (Acari : Eriophyidae, phytoseiidae, Stigmaeidae, Tetranychidae) : intra- and interspecific relationships

Creator:: Slone, Daniel H.
Abstract:: Aggregation and species association of 9 species of phytophagous and predaceous mites were studied for 6 yr in an orchard with 100, 2 m tall 'Red Delicious' apple trees. To quantify aggregation, a method was developed that is powerful, and easily interpreted. It relates the proportion of habitat occupied to...

Novel architecture for entrapment of elastomeric membranes in microfluidic systems

Creator:: Blackwell, Edward P.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a novel microlamination architecture that enables the large scale integration of valves into low cost micro energy and chemical systems via membrane entrapment. Polycarbonate layers embossed with microfluidic channels were bonded by ultrasonic welding of raised embossed protrusions that penetrate though the PDMS membranes. The bonding pressure...

An in-shoe instrument for acquisition and storage of plantar pressure

Creator:: Noce, Heidi P.
Abstract:: A measurement system has been developed to continuously record pressure data between the sole of the foot and the shoe. Five force sensing resistors are mounted to an insole suitable for shoe insertion. The sensors are located at the heel, toe and under three metatarsal heads. Data from the sensors...

Evaluation of culvert condition and road closure methods in southern Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Levesque, Stephen P.
Abstract:: Because of their potential for adversely affecting aquatic resources, increased rates of erosion and sedimentation associated with low-volume forest roads have recently gained the attention of land managers in the Pacific Northwest. For example, on the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska, there is an urgent need to explore the...
