Effects of diet on growth and development of nesting seabirds

Creator:: Romano, Marc D.
Abstract:: Recent declines in nesting success of some fish-eating seabirds in Alaska have been attributed to declines in availability of certain schooling forage fishes (e.g., capelin Mallotus villosus, Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus, and Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi). These fishes tend to have high lipid content compared with other species...

Sources of weld strength variability in capacitor discharge welding

Creator:: Benjarattananon, Jukchai
Abstract:: Capacitor discharge welding (CDW) is a rapid solidification joining process under the influence of one-dimensional thermal gradients. Although CDW is useful for joining small parts and dissimilar metals, CD welded joints have a large variability in weld strength. CDW is not widely accepted because of a lack of automated process...

Development of a process for fabricating high-aspect-ratio, meso-scale geometries in stainless steel

Creator:: Walker, Benjamin A.
Abstract:: Miniature energy and chemical systems (MECS) are miniature thermal, fluid, and chemical devices in the mesoscale size range between a sugar cube and a human fist. MECS take advantage of improved rates of mass and heat transfer that have been observed at the microscale. There are many potential applications for...

Bayesian methods for knowledge transfer and policy search in reinforcement learning

Creator:: Wilson, Aaron
Abstract:: How can an agent generalize its knowledge to new circumstances? To learn effectively an agent acting in a sequential decision problem must make intelligent action selection choices based on its available knowledge. This dissertation focuses on Bayesian methods of representing learned knowledge and develops novel algorithms that exploit the represented...

Effects of different yield functions and initial inventory on harvest schedules for Douglas-fir

Creator:: Vomocil, Marc Grayson
Abstract:: The procedure of forest level harvest scheduling incorporates many inputs of an uncertain nature. Forest management planners must be aware of the possible effects of the use of erroneous input information on the results of their planning. With that knowledge they can better plan a risk management strategy and make...

The use of electrochemical micromachining for making a microfloat valve

Creator:: Park, Sang-Bin
Abstract:: Micromanufacturing consists of processes for producing structures, devices or systems with feature sizes measured in micrometers. Micromanufacturing began in the mid-1960's with microelectronics fabrication technology. In the 1980's, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) began to be developed, in which electrical and mechanical subsystems were integrated at small scales. More recently, Microtechnology-based Energy...

Application of buckling behavior to evaluate and control shape variation in high-temperature microlamination

Creator:: Wattanutchariya, Wassanai
Abstract:: The miniaturization of energy, chemical and biological systems for distributed and portable applications, known as process intensification, is realized by the enhancement in heat and mass transfer performance within high surface-to-volume ratio microchannels. Fabrication of devices for process intensification is achieved in part by microlamination techniques. These techniques consist of...

Enhancing social-emotional and character development for youths' success : a theoretical orientation and an evaluation using a cluster-randomized design

Creator:: Snyder, Frank J.
Abstract:: Interest in social-emotional and character development (SECD) programming has intensified in recent years. SECD-related programs often seek to enhance a variety of health-related outcomes by addressing multiple influences and embracing a comprehensive approach that includes youth, school personnel, families, and communities. Alongside a comprehensive approach arises the need for a...

Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

Creator:: Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
Abstract:: Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

Transportation network connectivity, facilities encouraging walkability, and crime

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza B.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the relationship between crime, transportation network connectivity, and engineered facilities built to increase walkability through a case study of twenty-five sites within the city of Spokane, Washington. Using data spanning between 2008 and 2010, the author developed a GIS model representing conditions of the built environment, social...
