The Association Between Extreme Climate and Diarrheal Illness in North America

Creator:: Lyon-Colbert, Amber
Abstract:: The etiology and transmission of bacterial diarrheal pathogens is complex, making evaluating the association between extreme climate and diarrheal illnesses in North America challenging. Changes in climate may impact the survival, reproduction, and distribution of pathogens that cause diarrheal illness. Evidence supports the hypothesis that reproduction, survival, and transmission ability...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

Mortality Associated with Short- and Long-Term Temperature Changes: A Global Evaluation within the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology Study

Creator:: Bigouette, John P.
Abstract:: The influence of increasing temperatures on human health has been widely established across multiple health disciplines. Short-term temperature changes are associated with an increased risk of hospitalization and death overall and in a variety of health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease. Even as humans can self-regulate heat stresses, the elderly,...

Population genetic structure of Jeffrey pine

Creator:: Furnier, Glenn Richard
Abstract:: Jeffrey pine occurs in the mountains of California and adjacent states. In the Klamath Mountains, the northern margin of the range, it is restricted to infertile ultramafic soils, forming very open stands of low density. It occurs predominantly on more fertile soils in the Sierra Nevada and southern portions of...

Novel Extensions and New Applications for Nonparametric Self-Exciting Point Processes

Creator:: Boyd, Peter C.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I will demonstrate a novel application of self-exciting point process models to mass shooting data. I will also introduce two adaptations to the traditional nonparametric Hawkes process modeling framework. One such modification allows for the estimation of the additional productivity introduced by an event that is not...

Operations Research Models for Blood Supply Chain Network Design for Disaster Planning

Creator:: Baik, Shefaa A.
Abstract:: A blood supply chain (BSC) deals with the collection, processing, storing, and distribution of blood collected from donors and delivered to patients at demand points (DPs) through a network of several temporary mobile blood units (MBUs) and permanent local blood centers (LBCs). In general, the strategic and tactical design of...

Measuring Health Beliefs About UV Exposure Among Oregon College Students

Creator:: Julian, Anne K.
Abstract:: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary cause of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer and thus represents a critical public health concern. Skin cancer risk behavior research lacks an instrument designed to assess health beliefs about UV exposure that may increase skin cancer risk by increasing risky UV exposure...

Multi-Criteria Risk Mapping Using Lean Tools for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry

Creator:: Viriato Maia Ferreira Pestana, Ana Catarina
Abstract:: Over the past two decades, the Lean Construction academic and practicing engineering community has used lean practices and tools to help improve the performance of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Lean practices have led to improved competitiveness of construction companies that have adopted them, by focusing on ways...

A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

Creator:: Brintz, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...

Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to Explore the Relationship between Food Insecurity, Childhood Lead Poisoning, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children

Creator:: Sparks, Megan M.
Abstract:: Lead is a ubiquitous environmental toxin known to cause neurological deficits in children. There is no biological need for lead and no safe level of lead in the body has ever been identified. Despite dramatic decline in mean blood lead levels nationwide since the U.S. EPA’s ban on lead-based paint...
