Anticipating impacts

Creator:: Hermens, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: We present an approach for generating a character’s response in anticipation of an impending impact. Protective anticipatory movement is built upon several simple actions that have been identified as response mechanisms in monkeys and in humans. These actions are parameterized by a model of the interaction based on the approaching...

Zeros of Replicable Functions

Creator:: Toomey, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Following the work of Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya for Faber polynomials associated to the modular group, and Bannai, Kojima, and Miezaki's partial proof for the case of the Fricke group of level 2, we show that the zeros of certain modular functions for some low-level genus zero groups associated to...

An Analysis of Oregon’s Preferential Forest Property Tax Programs in Relation to Non-industrial Private Forest Landowners’ Tax Program Enrollment Decisions and Forest Management Behavior

Creator:: Rushakoff, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Little is known about non-industrial private forestland (NIPF) owners in relation to Oregon’s two primary preferential forest property tax programs: Forestland Program – the default tax program for many forestland owners, and Small Tract Forestland Option (STF) – a voluntary program wherein landowners pay reduced annual property taxes and an...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

An Efficient Workflow and Accuracy Assessment for ICESat-2 and Multispectral Imagery Fusion for Bathymetric Mapping

Creator:: Babbel, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Interest in mapping bathymetry from multispectral satellite imagery has grown steadily since the 1970s. Notwithstanding the significant advancements made during this time, one limitation is that the group of algorithms collectively referred to as Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) generally require “seed depths,” hindering their use for areas lacking reliable reference...

Usable and Scalable Querying of Scientific Datasets

Creator:: McCamish, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Scientists and engineers have to analyze and query multiple large databases. Analysis over databases created by phasor measurement units can provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating, processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data efficiently, which...

Old McDonald had a Microscope: The Impact of Research Spending on U.S. Agricultural Productivity

Creator:: Rietmann, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The United States is a global leader in agricultural productivity. Much of its productivity growth can be attributed to public investments in agricultural research and development, starting in the 19th century and continuing until today. Past studies have shown high returns to agricultural research investments, but publicly funded agricultural research...

A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

Creator:: Brintz, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...

The Occurrence of Coastal Sea Ice Leads and their Impact on the Beaufort Gyre

Creator:: Lewis, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Leads are long fractures wide enough for a ship to travel through the ice pack. Sea ice acts as a barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, whereas leads allow the transfer of heat and moisture between the two. Leads play a role for marine mammals and are hunting grounds...

The philosophies of leadership, management, and authority : how they’re different, and why we so often get it wrong

Creator:: Sundberg, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Recent studies have shown that there is a significant amount of dissatisfaction and stress associated with finances, job security, and work. There are many health related consequences that manifest in response to this continual stress that we experience in our professional lives. These include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,...
