Design and Analysis of Free-space Optical Communications Systems for Next Generation Short-range Wireless Networks

Creator:: Liverman, Spencer
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on indoor free-space optical communications systems for use in short range wireless networks. We propose that current radio frequency wireless links be augmented or replaced with optical frequency links due to overcrowding in the radio frequency spectrum. Optical frequencies contain hundreds of terahertz of unregulated bandwidth and...

Faculty Perceptions and Realities Informing Curricular and Instructional Improvements in Postsecondary STEM Education: Development of Transdisciplinary Curricula, Notions of Successful Students, and the Use of Student-Learning Data

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy A.
Abstract:: Research has confirmed a lack of diversity and persistence of underrepresented populations in the STEM fields. Recruiting and retaining more women and people of color into STEM fields has long been a goal of higher education, per a notable lack of women and people of color who enter and complete...

Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

Creator:: Goddard, Amanda L.
Abstract:: Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Crop Histories in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kumbhakar, Ishika G.
Abstract:: The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the most important food crops in the United States, as well as globally. As demand rises, growers in the Pacific Northwest are revisiting their crop management strategies to determine whether there are additional ways to enhance crop productivity while managing plant and...

A socio-technical study on the improved characterization of stakeholder behaviors and stream temperature in design of watershed conservation practices for climate change adaptation

Creator:: Noa-Yarasca, Efrain
Abstract:: Characterizing stakeholder behavior when making decisions in watershed management is a great challenge for planners, not only because plans are associated with physical uncertainties but also because stakeholders’ behaviors are influenced by numerous factors. Since stakeholders’ decision-making is linked to multiple types of uncertainty, communication of uncertainty to stakeholders by...

The Climate Change - Homelessness Nexus : how disaster response institutions reinforce structural vulnerability in wildfire-impacted communities in Oregon

Creator:: Werdel, Carly Inez
Abstract:: In communities impacted by climate disasters, institutions largely determine the distribution of outcomes within a population. This research aims to examine the role of institutions in differential outcomes for displaced communities impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires in the Santiam Canyon and the Rogue Valley. Using semi-structured interviews of...

The effects of restrictive police pursuit policies in Washington State

Creator:: Sweeney, David T.
Abstract:: High-speed police pursuits occur daily across the United States. On average, one person dies per day as the result of a police pursuit. In certain contexts, it might be acceptable to society for a police officer to engage in a high-speed pursuit. The ends could justify the means. For example,...

An exploration of linguistic responsiveness of SBAE teachers when teaching linguistically diverse students

Creator:: González Morales, Amy M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe how the orientations and knowledge of linguistically responsive teaching, as well as personal characteristics of school-based agriculture education (SBAE) teachers, influence the frequency of their implementation of linguistically responsive practices. Grounded in the Linguistically Responsive Teaching framework by Lucas and...

Implementation Science in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: A Mixed-Methods Study of the Utility Value Intervention in General Psychology Courses

Creator:: Soicher, Raechel N.
Abstract:: Despite the dissemination of comprehensive reviews and teacher-friendly resources describing evidence-based practices to improve student outcomes, the adoption of these practices is slow and inconsistent across instructors at colleges and universities. To help reduce this research-practice gap, I argue for the application of implementation science to teaching and learning research...
