  • Wall-to-Wall Forest Mapping in Southeast and Southcentral Alaska: A New Application of the Gradient Nearest Neighbor Approach

    Creator:
    Irvine, Daniel R.
    Abstract:
    Boreal and temperate biomes host nearly half of the earth’s forested ecosystems. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific coast of North America constitute nearly half of all temperate rainforests on earth. Along the northern extent of this region, the perhumid and sub-polar rainforests of southeast and southcentral Alaska are among...

  • Wedding Bells, Binaries and the Heterosexual Menace

    Creator:
    McNeill, Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    This research explores and aligns a postmodern method in line with a theoretical lens of "strategic political queer/feminism" to understand the construction and positioning of the issue/ problem of same-sex marriage. The method takes shape through a theoretical framework that leads to a political maneuver opening access to the rights...

  • Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

    Creator:
    Bell, Jimmy D.
    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

  • Regional Archaeological Model of the Luckiamute Band Settlement Patterns

    Creator:
    Bell, James Walter
    Abstract:
    Human settlement patterns are the ways in which people locate themselves over the terrain in their area of occupation. Settlement pattern prediction attempts to define and understand the factors in culture, technology, and environment that shape the spatial distribution of habitation sites for a given group of people. A systematic...

  • Multivariate Vegetation Mapping -- Code and Data

    Creator:
    Henderson, Emilie B.
    Abstract:
    This data set contains RCode designed for mapping correlated vegetation summary variables via univariate (modified random forest regression) and multivariate (random forest nearest neighbor) methods. It also contains a small vegetation plot dataset to illustrate the type of information needed to support such an analysis.

  • Prestige seeking consumer behavior and evaluative criteria of premium brand jeans

    Creator:
    Bell, Meagon M.
    Abstract:
    Although designer brand denim apparel has been popular since the early 1980’s, the term “premium denim” is a relatively new concept to the apparel industry. This study investigated evaluative criteria used by female consumers when purchasing premium denim jeans. Previous studies have examined evaluative criteria and its importance in purchasing...

  • Influence of transport parameters on the fresh and hardened characteristics of ready-mixed concrete

    Creator:
    Chen, Jiaming
    Abstract:
    Most specifications for ready-mix concrete (RMC) limit mixing time to 90 minutes and/or truck drum revolution counts (DRC) to 300 before discharge. These specifications have been in place for many years with the objective of ensuring the quality and performance of the finished concrete product. However, limited research has been...

  • Learning-based control and coordination of autonomous UAVs

    Creator:
    Bell, Adam R.
    Abstract:
    Uninhabited aerial vehicles, also called UAVs are currently controller by a combination of a human pilot at a remote location, and autopilot systems similar to those found on commercial aircraft. As UAVs transition from remote piloting to fully autonomous operation, control laws must be developed for the tasks to be...

  • Regulatory Wetland Monitoring: Principles and Evolving Techniques within Washington State Department of Transportation

    Creator:
    Bell, Marc
    Abstract:
    The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is the largest developer of wetlands land in the state of Washington. Consequently, they are also the largest wetland mitigation developer in the state. Through various federal legislation, state and county environmental policies, and legal court decisions, all negatively impacted wetlands must be...

  • Multi-temporal LiDAR Analysis of Landscape Fire Effects in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Hoe, Michael
    Abstract:
    Quantitative assessments of post-fire effects are key to improving our understanding of ecosystem resilience. While remote sensing technology has allowed us to assess post-fire landscape effects, we are often limited by the lack of information related to pre-fire forest attributes. As a result, our ability to interpret fire effects in...
