  • Employer-Provided Paid Parental Leave and Material Hardship after Childbirth Among Oregon Mothers

    Creator:
    De Pierola, Ines
    Abstract:
    Paid parental leave programs can buffer the effects of childbirth-related material hardship for families. However, many mothers in the United States lack access to paid leave, particularly those from ethnic and racial minority groups. Guided by R. D. Conger and Elder’s (1994) family stress model of economic hardship (FSM), this...

  • Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

    Creator:
    Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

  • Investigating Time-Digital-Converters for Hardware Security in FPGAs

    Creator:
    Lytikov, Daniil
    Abstract:
    In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...

  • Bonds Across Divides: Track III Diplomacy in Environmental Peacebuilding Projects A case study of EcoPeace Middle East in the Jordan Basin

    Creator:
    Mathieu, Laura J.
    Abstract:
    This research explores the mechanisms of Track III diplomacy employed by EcoPeace Middle East, in the context of environmental peacebuilding within the Jordan Basin region. Focusing on how these mechanisms contribute to improving water quality and quantity, the study delves into their processes in facilitating cooperation among conflicting parties—Israelis, Palestinians,...

  • Internalized Racism and Depression: The Moderating Role of Racial Idenitity

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Jazlyn M.
    Abstract:
    The current study aimed to further explore the relationship between internalized racism and depression, using racial identity (centrality) as a moderator. The current study was guided by two hypotheses. First, it was hypothesized that internalized racism would predict depression. Second, it was hypothesized that racial identity (centrality) would moderate the...

  • Exploring the Anaerobic Co-digestion of Food Waste, Brewery Waste, and Fats, Oils, and Greases through Biomethane Potential Testing and Response Surface Methodology

    Creator:
    Liberman, Madalyn R.
    Abstract:
    Food waste (FW), brewery waste (BW), and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), are prevalent waste streams in municipalities across the country, particularly in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Anaerobic digestion (AD), the microbial-mediated transformation of organic waste into methane-rich biogas, offers a sustainable, energy-generating, waste management solution for these wastes. Anaerobic...

  • Terrain-Aware Probabilistic Search Planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Creator:
    Schomer, Nathan L.
    Abstract:
    Mountain search and rescue is a vital form of emergency response to assist people in austere environments (e.g., extreme terrain, poor weather). Volunteer mountain search and rescue teams in the United States have begun adopting consumer- grade unmanned aerial vehicles to assist a variety of tasks (e.g., search, resource delivery);...

  • Intraseasonal Oscillations of ~20 days Revisited: The Jet Stream and its Ecological Implications along the Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Herweck, Kendra
    Abstract:
    Intraseasonal oscillations in the atmosphere-ocean system can affect weather patterns and regional ecosystems. In turn, these oscillations can be affected by climate variability, resulting in additive and/or non-linear responses of regional ecosystems to climate forcing. In the Northern California Current, a strong correlation was identified between the location of the...

    Creator:
    Leppin, Mark V.
    Abstract:
    The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...
