  • Wall-to-Wall Forest Mapping in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska: A New Application of the Gradient Nearest Neighbor Approach

    Creator:
    Irvine, Daniel R.
    Abstract:
    Boreal and temperate biomes host nearly half of the earth’s forested ecosystems. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific coast of North America constitute nearly half of all temperate rainforests on earth. Along the northern extent of this region, the perhumid and sub-polar rainforests of southeast and southcentral Alaska are among...

  • Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

    Creator:
    Bell, Jimmy D.
    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

  • Regional Archaeological Model of the Luckiamute Band Settlement Patterns

    Creator:
    Bell, James Walter
    Abstract:
    Human settlement patterns are the ways in which people locate themselves over the terrain in their area of occupation. Settlement pattern prediction attempts to define and understand the factors in culture, technology, and environment that shape the spatial distribution of habitation sites for a given group of people. A systematic...

  • Multivariate Vegetation Mapping -- Code and Data

    Creator:
    Henderson, Emilie B.
    Abstract:
    This data set contains RCode designed for mapping correlated vegetation summary variables via univariate (modified random forest regression) and multivariate (random forest nearest neighbor) methods. It also contains a small vegetation plot dataset to illustrate the type of information needed to support such an analysis.

  • An analysis of vocalizations of the rufous-sided towhee Pipilo erythrophthalmus oregonus (Bell)

    Creator:
    Beltz, Joan Dunkel
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to record on tape and to analyze the sonagrams of the complete repertoire of the vocalizations of the Rufous-sided Towhee, Pipilo erythrophthalmus oregonus. Meanings were assigned to a number of the calls. Sounds of nestlings, juveniles, and vocalizations connected with parental care were not...

  • Prestige seeking consumer behavior and evaluative criteria of premium brand jeans

    Creator:
    Bell, Meagon M.
    Abstract:
    Although designer brand denim apparel has been popular since the early 1980’s, the term “premium denim” is a relatively new concept to the apparel industry. This study investigated evaluative criteria used by female consumers when purchasing premium denim jeans. Previous studies have examined evaluative criteria and its importance in purchasing...

  • Influence of transport parameters on the fresh and hardened characteristics of ready-mixed concrete

    Creator:
    Chen, Jiaming
    Abstract:
    Most specifications for ready-mix concrete (RMC) limit mixing time to 90 minutes and/or truck drum revolution counts (DRC) to 300 before discharge. These specifications have been in place for many years with the objective of ensuring the quality and performance of the finished concrete product. However, limited research has been...

  • Development of the simplified method to evaluate dynamic mechanical analysis data on asphalt-aggregate mixtures

    Creator:
    Ab-Wahab, Yunus Bin
    Abstract:
    Testing of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures using dynamic mechanical analysis is becoming popular with improvements in high-speed computers, precision equipment, and computer software. Researchers are trying to describe the behavior of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures in terms of their time- and temperature-dependent linear viscoelastic behavior. The objectives of...

    Abstract:
    In 1987, Congress authorized a 5 year $150 million dollar research program called the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). SHRP was divided into four major areas, including the asphalt research program. The asphalt research program was divided into six major research contracts, one such contract, SHRP-003A was called Performance Related...
