  • FAR : an end-user language to support cottage e-services

    Creator:
    Chekka, Sudheer Kumar
    Abstract:
    E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple web pages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-business transactions, such as through electronic advertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, to participate in these advances requires the skills of professional programmers, and end-user owners of small businesses often cannot justify this expense. In this...

  • Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

    Creator:
    Romero, Nicolas
    Abstract:
    Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

  • Measurement of peak kilovoltage across x-ray tubes by ionization methods

    Creator:
    Burnett, Bruce Merl
    Abstract:
    Voltage calibration methods used with X-ray tubes are either electrical procedures requiring direct electrical connection or ionization techniques which require no electrical connection to the generating system. One major restriction on the use of electrical methods for measuring the voltage applied to X-ray tubes is that special electrical adaptors are...

  • A quantitative comparison of the incorporation of C¹⁴ labeled lipids and lipid precursors into Lee influenza virus

    Creator:
    McGregor, Sandy
    Abstract:
    A quantitative comparison was made of the incorporation of 14, C¹⁴ lipid compounds into Lee influenza virus. The compounds tested were either lipids reported to be present in the virus or precursors to virus lipid components. Infected chorioallantoic tissues were incubated in medium containing the C¹⁴ metabolites. The virus was...

  • Characterizing the response of coralline algae to ocean acidification and nutrient changes in the California Current system

    Creator:
    Letzing, Sandy
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...

  • Novel approaches to promoting end-user programming

    Creator:
    Bahmani, Faezeh
    Abstract:
    End-user programming has become widespread. The increasing size of this population and the prevalence of barriers that they face has sparked the development of approaches that promote end-user programing by helping them overcome barriers and teaching them programming. Despite the fact that these approaches have done well in achieving those...
