Topological analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces

Creator:: Chen, Guoning
Abstract:: Analysis, visualization, and design of vector fields on surfaces have a wide variety of major applications in both scientific visualization and computer graphics. On the one hand, analysis and visualization of vector fields provide critical insights to the flow data produced from simulation or experiments of various engineering processes. On...

Urban ethnography : an exploration and interpretation of the post-camp period of Laotian refugees settling in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon

Creator:: Proudfoot, Robert Charles
Abstract:: This study employed ethnographic methodology to investigate and record the post-camp, pre-assimilation period of Laotian refugees.The primary goal was to document the special problems and experiences of the Laotian population as they attempted to adjust to new roles and expectations within mainstream North American society.Oral histories and biographical statements focused...

Machine Learning Techniques to Model Species Interactions and Distributions Under Imperfect Detection

Creator:: Seo, Eugene
Abstract:: Ecological domains seeking to understand the environment and the behavior of species have received little attention in machine learning (ML), despite the fact that environmental changes have a significant impact on humans as well as ecosystems. Some ecological problems can be formulated similarly to other common ML applications, but there...

Sediment Management in Taiwan's Reservoirs and Barriers to Implementation

Creator:: Wang, Hsiao-Wen, Kondolf, Mathias, Tullos, Desiree, and Kuo, Wei-Cheng
Abstract:: Reservoirs play a critically important role in supplying water for human uses. However, sedimentation limits storage capabilities and increases risk for aging infrastructure. The objectives of this paper are to synthesize both general sediment management strategies and past sediment management efforts in Taiwan in order to identify the barriers to...

Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

Creator:: Kannegulla, Akash
Abstract:: The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

Unobserved Heterogeneity and Spatial Correlation: Statistical and Econometric Analyses of Heavy-Vehicle Hard Braking and Crash Frequency by Crash Type

Creator:: Anderson, Jason C.
Abstract:: This dissertation provides a comparison of statistical and econometric frameworks, using a previously unused freight data source, to study crash frequency by crash type and heavy-vehicle hard braking in Oregon. Hard braking can serve as a proxy for several factors, one of which is safety. Therefore, with the hard braking...

Characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from Oregon and Washington coastal water and development of improved methods for Vibrio parahaemolyticus detection

Creator:: Duan, Jingyun
Abstract:: Distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Oregon and Washington oystergrowing areas was studied between November 2002 and October 2003. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 14.3% of oyster, 23.0% of seawater, and 44.4% of sediment samples with very low levels (≤7.4 MPN/g) of pathogenic strains being detected in oysters. Occurrence of V....

Commercial application of high pressure processing for inactivating Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Ma, Lei
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic pathogen that occurs naturally in coastal and estuarine environments. This human pathogen is frequently isolated from a variety of seafood, particular oysters, and is the leading cause of gastroenteritis associated with seafood consumption. Several outbreaks of V. parahaemolyticus infections linked to consumption of raw...

Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors based on functionalized nanomaterials

Creator:: Wu, Bo
Abstract:: Unlike other biosensing, electrochemical biosensor has the advantages of robustness, easy miniaturization, excellent detection limits, and capability in handling small analyte volumes. The detection selectivity of the electrochemical biosensors is mainly supported by bioreceptors. However, these receptors always suffer from the performance variation caused by the environment and the thermal-...

Learning affinities of exemplar videos for multi-view action recognition

Creator:: Roy, Anirban
Abstract:: This thesis addresses a fundamental computer vision problem, that of action recognition. The goal of action recognition is to recognize a class of human actions in a given video. Action recognition has a wide range of applications, including automated surveillance, sports video analysis, internet-based searches etc. The main challenge is...
