  • Hearing Inequality: A Sonification of the Gender Disparity in Computer Science and Engineering

    Creator:
    Cohen, Elyse
    Abstract:
    Sonification, or the “technique of rendering sound in response to data and interactions” [1], is an alternative to visual graphs and has the potential to make data more interpretable and accessible. As a combination of the arts (music) and the sciences (data), sonification is an interdisciplinary tool for connecting people...

  • The Emotional Consequences of Activism

    Creator:
    Robertson, Sydney
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates the effect of participating in political activism on mental health. Participants (N = 187, 72% female, N = 135, 77% female) from an Oregon university were randomly assigned to one of three or four conditions (depending on the study) in which they participated in activism related to...

  • Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Knowlton, John
    Abstract:
    The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

  • Sonification as a pathway to knowledge

    Creator:
    Fitch, Russell Alan
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the use of sonification, the conversion of data into sound, to convey the significance of SARS-COV-2 and its global impact. It emphasizes sonification as a valuable tool for making complex data accessible, particularly in high school education. Sonification, an interdisciplinary field, leverages the human auditory system's pattern...

  • Intersection of political party control and health outcomes in Medicaid expansion

    Creator:
    Page, Joe
    Abstract:
    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) sought to reform the health care system of the United States in a number of key ways, including by expanding access to health insurance to low-income Americans. The legislation provided for the expansion of Medicaid, the jointly funded federal-state public...

  • Differences in expression of COVID-19 related inflammatory genes in non-human primates with varying alcohol consumption

    Creator:
    Co, Amber
    Abstract:
    Severe cases of COVID-19 have been associated with cytokine storms, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to play a role in liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease. To investigate alcohol consumption as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severity,...

  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

  • Exotic Species Success in Fire- and Harvest-Disturbed Forest Sites in Southwest Oregon

    Creator:
    Pearce-Smith, Sarabeth
    Abstract:
    Invasive plant species are a significant concern in Oregon’s forests, particularly in early-seral sites. Early-seral forests are generated by severe disturbances such as fire or timber harvest, and persist until canopy closure. They are vulnerable to invasion because they have abundant resources, and are important because they provide unique resources....

  • Analysis on Medicaid Expansion from the Affordable Care Act and the Effect on Low-Income Populations

    Creator:
    Sosnovske, Alden
    Abstract:
    When the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, eligibility for Medicaid was expanded to include people whose income was less than 138% of the federal poverty level. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that states could choose whether to expand their Medicaid programs or not. The objective of this...

  • Transcribing Solo Piano Performances from Audio to MIDI Using a Neural Network

    Creator:
    Ebert, Victoria
    Abstract:
    Automatic Music Transcription is a growing area of interest in Music Information Retrieval, and recent research has shown promise using onset detection on spectrograms. We propose a deep learning model that takes raw audio as input in order to transcribe a solo piano performance from audio to MIDI without complicated...
