  • The Auteur Perspective of David Fincher

    Creator:
    Kitamura, Garrett
    Abstract:
    Director David Fincher’s films contain many distinct elements that set his work apart, but one of the most instantly recognizable elements is his visual style – specifically, his camerawork. The level of control and purposefulness that Fincher exhibits in his films qualify Fincher as the auteur, or “author,” of his...

  • Empowering pedagogy : a case study of non-traditional teaching methods and philosophy at the Centro de Educación Creativa

    Creator:
    Sansone, Sophia Vosburg
    Abstract:
    Empowering pedagogy (also know as “transgressive,” “emancipatory,” or “democratic” forms of education) seeks to challenge the historically oppressive tendencies of traditional education. As a student of Social Justice and International Studies, I approach the topic of empowering pedagogy through a case study. My research explored this non-traditional educational philosophy and...

  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

  • Application of a weighted Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) for Structure Comparison in Radiation Treatment Planning

    Creator:
    Fried, Zachary
    Abstract:
    Coded metrics that compare representations of structures within the human body to evaluate their similarity are considered useful for planning radiation therapy on cancer targets. However, existing metrics fail to take into account the dose of radiation that will be received by both the target, and surrounding non-target tissue, during...

  • Effects of Facial Tattoos on Perceptions of Facial Trustworthiness

    Creator:
    Landrus, Bryn E.
    Abstract:
    Background: Individuals rapidly infer character traits and behaviors through the process of facial perception. Perceptions of trustworthiness, accurate or not, completed by authorities in the criminal justice system may have implications for individuals suspected of crimes, including harsher or longer sentencing decisions. Objective: The present study concerned how the presence...

  • Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

    Creator:
    Molotkov, Alexander
    Abstract:
    The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

  • The immunomodulatory properties of glycomacropeptide in THP-1 macrophage study

    Creator:
    McAllister, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Glycomacropeptide (GMP) is a bioactive peptide found in the dairy product whey, along with whey protein isolate (WPI). Past studies have shown that digested GMP retains bioactivity in rodent guts. This study tested whether GMP or GMP-derived peptides or whey protein or whey protein-derived peptides inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines. THP-1 cells...

  • An Analysis of Driver's Visual Attention When Exposed to Roadside Drone Operations

    Creator:
    Sova, Alden
    Abstract:
    Drones are being used increasingly in the transportation sector for roadside applications such as surveying, structural inspection, and traffic monitoring, which raises distraction concerns for drivers. This study examines the visual attention of a group of Oregon drivers to determine drones’ potential as distracting roadside elements. Eye tracking data was...

  • Relation extraction with automatic ontonotes annotation and ETC

    Creator:
    Sauer, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Intuitively, it seems as though natural language processing tasks might benefit from explicit representations of the syntactic and semantic properties of text. Ontonotes is a dataset which attempts to annotate texts, to represent as much as possible of the meaning of the text explicitly within the annotation. Many tools exist...

  • Implications of Red Signal Countdown Timers on Visual Attention of Oregon Drivers

    Creator:
    Wyman, Amy A.
    Abstract:
    Red Signal Countdown Timers (RSCTs) are devices placed at intersections to inform drivers of the time remaining on a red indication before it turns green, typically to improve intersection efficiency. This study examines the visual attention of Oregon drivers to circular red (CR) indications with RSCTs as compared to standard...
