  • Driver Distraction from Unmanned Aerial Systems: Evidence, Policy, and Mitigation

    Creator:
    Barlow, Zachary W.
    Abstract:
    Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), more commonly known as drones, have recently achieved commercial success for many public and private applications. As with all emerging technologies, new safety concerns and conflicts with existing paradigms are likely to arise. Many potential applications of UASs will result in their operation near roadway infrastructure,...

  • A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

    Creator:
    Barlow, Zachary Wesley
    Abstract:
    State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

  • An Analysis of Driver's Visual Attention When Exposed to Roadside Drone Operations

    Creator:
    Sova, Alden
    Abstract:
    Drones are being used increasingly in the transportation sector for roadside applications such as surveying, structural inspection, and traffic monitoring, which raises distraction concerns for drivers. This study examines the visual attention of a group of Oregon drivers to determine drones’ potential as distracting roadside elements. Eye tracking data was...

  • An Investigation of Student Cognitive Engagement in the STEM Classroom—A Compilation of Faculty and Student Perspectives

    Creator:
    Barlow, Allyson J.
    Abstract:
    Student engagement has been the focus of much engineering education research, in large part due to its ties to student learning. Widely considered to be a meta-construct, student engagement is often broken down into behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. Reasons for ongoing research on student cognitive engagement are twofold: educators...

  • Benefits and Trends of Sustainable Building Initiatives in Parks and Protected Areas

    Creator:
    Shelow, Zachary
    Abstract:
    Ensuring sustainable development is a growing societal concern, providing rationale to examine the current role and efforts towards implementing sustainable building initiatives within the United States. Sustainable building initiatives refer to the design, operation, and maintenance of a building while considering its conservation efforts and pollution reduction performance. These initiatives...

  • Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

  • An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...

  • In their own words : divorced and widowed women, retirement, and friendships

    Creator:
    Barlow-Pieterick, Marilyn
    Abstract:
    Friends benefit both our psychological and our emotional well-being by increasing overall happiness, life satisfaction, and a positive sense of self among women. Often, however, friendships decrease in the later years. The purpose of this study is to learn more about divorced or widowed, retired women and their friendships, specifically,...

  • Symmetric encryption with multiple keys : techniques and applications

    Creator:
    Barlow, Lelia C.
    Abstract:
    Symmetric key block ciphers, such as AES, are well known and frequently used. There are five confidentiality modes of operation that are currently recommended for use with a symmetric key block cipher algorithm: Electronic Codebook (ECB), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Cipher Feedback (CFB), Output Feedback (OFB), and Counter (CTR). This...

  • Influence of Two-Phase Fuel on Detonation Behavior

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dustin
    Abstract:
    Detonation combustion is of great interest for propulsion devices because of its potential to increase thermodynamic efficiency, reduce the weight of current gas turbine engines, and rapidly accelerate to high Mach numbers. Detonation engines might also have the ability to decrease harmful exhaust products from traditional propulsion methods. In order...
