  • Low Impact Development in the Ash Creek Watershed, Oregon : Feasibility Study and Implementation Tool Design

    Creator:
    Chalmers, Douglas R.
    Abstract:
    This study presents potential Low Impact Development (LID) solutions for the Ash Creek watershed and designs several tools to assist localities in implementing the solutions they may choose. Ash Creek is a tributary of the Willamette River flowing through Dallas, Monmouth, and Independence in Polk County, Oregon. Currently, Ash Creek...

  • Patterns of coastal cutthroat trout survival in two headwater stream networks

    Creator:
    Berger, Aaron M.
    Abstract:
    Mark-recapture methods were used to examine watershed-scale survival rates of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) from two headwater stream networks located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, Oregon. Differences in survival were explored among spatial (stream segment, stream network [main stem or tributaries], and watershed) and temporal...

  • Mechanisms of Vigilance Loss in Sensory and Cognitive Tasks

    Creator:
    Gyles, Shannon P.
    Abstract:
    When observers monitor for infrequent signals for extended durations, they generally experience a decline in detections over time. This decline is termed the vigilance decrement. Current theories of vigilance attribute the decrement to three potential mechanisms: conservative shifts in response bias, losses of sensitivity, and an increased rate of attentional...

  • Metacognition, Numeracy, and Automation-aided Decision-making

    Creator:
    Gyles, Shannon P.
    Abstract:
    Automated decision aids can improve human decision-making but the benefits are often compromised by inefficient use. The current experiment examined whether metacognition—the ability to assess self-performance—and numeracy—the ability to understand and work with numbers—predict the efficiency of automation use in a signal detection task. Two-hundred twenty-one participants classified random dot...
