  • Engineering Student Perspectives of a New Required Programming Course

    Creator:
    Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
    Abstract:
    We present student perceptions of a new first-year engineering programming class that was designed by informed research practices. While the College of Engineering at Oregon State University saw a lot of major switching in the first year, there were not many students switching into computer science (CS). This could have...

  • Image Based Crypto

    Creator:
    Basa, Gungor
    Abstract:
    The ability to create reproducible cryptographically secure keys from temporal environments (e.g., images) has the potential to be a contributor to effective cryptographic mechanisms. Due to the noisy nature of these environments, achieving this goal in a user friendly fashion is a very challenging task, especially since there exists a...

  • 'Mejor Amancebada que Mal Casada' : Rhetoric and Practice of Amancebamiento in Seventeenth-Century New Spain

    Creator:
    Hisey, Aimee
    Abstract:
    Following a history of tensions surrounding concubinage in medieval and early modern Spain, the Church sought greater control of religious life, particularly over the sacrament of marriage, via the Holy Office of the Inquisition. The Church exercised its strengthened restrictions and prosecuted these relationships with more frequency, as did civil...

  • Factors affecting the regrowth of Himalya (sic) blackberry (Rubus armeniacus)

    Creator:
    Jones, Daniel Karl
    Abstract:
    Himalaya blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is a widespread, exotic, invasive plant now common over much of western Oregon and Washington. An observational experiment revealed that disturbance to a monoculture of Himalaya blackberry allows the soil seed bank to be expressed and return the inhabited area to an earlier successional stage. This...

  • Community-based sea turtle conservation in Baja, Mexico : integrating science and culture

    Creator:
    Bird, Kristin E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses both theoretical and practical considerations inherent in conducting community-based research within a case study of sea turtle conservation in Baja California, Mexico. A brief background, including the general ecology, status and distribution of sea turtles of the Baja peninsula is presented, with an overview of the current...

  • Principles of Variational Databases

    Creator:
    Ataei, Parisa S.
    Abstract:
    Data variations are prevalent in real-world applications. For example, software vendors have to handle numerous variations in the business requirements, conventions, and environmental settings of a software product. In database-backed software, the database of each version may have a different schema and content. As another example, data scientists often need...

  • Fully Soft 3D Printed Electroactive Fluidic Valve in Soft Hydraulic Robots

    Creator:
    Zatopa, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Soft robots are designed to utilize their compliance and contortionistic abilities to both interact safely with their environment and move through it in ways a rigid robot cannot. To more completely achieve this, the robot should be made of as many soft components as possible. Here we present a completely...

  • Spatiotemporal Phytohormone Distributions in Developing Pinot Noir Berries and the Effects of Two Viticulture Practices Thereon

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...

  • Relational Learning over Dirty Data Using Data Constraints

    Creator:
    Lee, Ga Young
    Abstract:
    Real-world datasets are dirty and contain many errors. Examples of these issues are violations of integrity constraints, duplicates, and inconsistencies in representing data values and entities. Applying machine learning on dirty databases may lead to inaccurate results. Users have to spend a lot of time and effort repairing data errors...

  • Effect of lactic acid bacteria growth on Brettanomyces bruxellensis growth and production of ethylphenols

    Creator:
    Chescheir, Stuart C.
    Abstract:
    The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is the most important wines spoilage yeast encountered during winemaking as it can survive in wine for long periods, requires minimal nutrients for growth, and can be difficult to control. Brettanomyces produces two major spoilage products, the volatile phenols 4-ethylphenol (Band-Aid, medicinal smell) and 4-ethylguaiacol (smoke,...
