  • Soil Property Effects on Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) within William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

    Creator:
    Day, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites (Field 29 and 8N) within William L....

  • Under the Shadow of this Red Rock: Reading T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land for its Places, Persons, and Poetics

    Creator:
    Summers, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Thomas Stearns Eliot’s 1922 modernist poem The Waste Land presents itself as an alternative to the decaying society Eliot found himself inhabiting. It begins as a personal means of pulling together one’s fragmented consciousness, but in doing so Eliot manages to present a solution to a world of selfishness—looking beyond...

  • Deformation Reduction in Intermetallic NiAl Microlaminations

    Creator:
    Joyer, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    One method of fabricating intermetallic nickel-aluminum MECS devices involves diffusion bonding together pre-patterned elemental foils of nickel and aluminum. This process shows good potential for the mass-production of NiAl devices, but several quality issues remain. Of large concern is the deformation of internal features during the bonding process. This research...

  • Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

    Creator:
    Bowie, Cameron Scott
    Abstract:
    Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...

  • A Comparative Study of Non-Normal Distributions in Continuous Dropout

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that novel continuous dropout methods can be viewed as a Bayesian interpretation of model parameters, though most such studies have shown results using normal distributions. As the posterior distributions over neural network nodes and parameters are intractable, given that they are a result of artificial construction...

  • Design and Implementation of a Ride-On Car with Data Tracking for Use by Young Children with Developmental Differences

    Creator:
    Brian, Makenzie M.
    Abstract:
    This work describes the design and modification of a commercial children’s ride-on car to effectively collect usage data. The design is cheap and could be easily modified to gather more information. This will serve as a viable way to collect information about how motorized independence can help children with developmental...

  • Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

    Creator:
    Tuinstra, Naomi A.
    Abstract:
    In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States. An analysis of this specific interaction was done via personal contact with the industry in Ecuador and extensive literature review of the topic. The results...

    Rodriguez-Walmisley, Olga B.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores how female characters in the Zorro and Robin Hood stories have changed throughout time, from beginnings until present day. I began my analysis by first researching whether Zorro and Robin Hood existed, and found that Robin Hood was most likely a real man who lived during the...
