Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

Creator:: Hu, Jiqing
Abstract:: Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

Regression calibration and maximum likelihood inference for measurement error models

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: Regression calibration inference seeks to estimate regression models with measurement error in explanatory variables by replacing the mismeasured variable by its conditional expectation, given a surrogate variable, in an estimation procedure that would have been used if the true variable were available. This study examines the effect of the uncertainty...

Biogeographic and experimental evidence for local scale dispersal limitation in central Panamanian forest birds

Creator:: Moore, Randall Phillips, 1965-
Abstract:: I examined the avian biogeography of the islands of Lago Gatun, Panama, in an effort to better understand the effects of forest fragmentation in this biodiverse region, and specifically to understand the importance of fragment isolation and the mechanism behind its effects on tropical bird distribution. I combined exhaustive surveys...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

Creator:: Bauer, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

Chronobiology of garter snakes : environmental and hormonal mechanisms mediating hibernation and reproduction

Creator:: Lutterschmidt, Deborah I.
Abstract:: Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing...

Development of acoustic emissions testing procedures applicable to conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges subjected to diagonal tension cracking

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...

Dynamic issues in applied microeconomics: market performance, market structure and advertising competition

Creator:: Iwasaki, Natsuko
Abstract:: This dissertation addresses issues of oligopoly markets where advertising plays a prominent role. The first study empirically investigates the effect of advertising regulations on equilibrium consumption of an addictive commodity using U.S. cigarette industry data. The results of the first study show that the advertising regulations reduced cigarette consumption by...

Norbert Wiener and the growth of negative feedback in scientific explanation : with a proposed research program of "cybernetic analysis"

Creator:: Hellman, Walter Daniel
Abstract:: Negative feedback has become ubiquitous in science both as a technique and as a conceptual tool. As a technique, negative feedback has a long history; devices based in its use were made in antiquity. It has only been during the last century, however, that rigorous quantitiative methods have become associated...
