  • Stream Temperature and Autotrophic Responses to Riparian Canopy Gaps Over Forested Headwater Streams

    Creator:
    Swartz, Allison
    Abstract:
    Across much of North America, legacies of historic and contemporary timber harvest have created a landscape dominated by regenerating forest stands in the early to middle stages of development. Most streamside forests are currently in the stem-exclusion phase of stand development and these closed canopies shade the forest understory and...

  • Autonomous helicopter systems: design and implementation solutions

    Creator:
    Nguyen, John
    Abstract:
    Creating intelligent robotics is at the cutting edge of technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are of particular interest for surveillance applications. UAVs have the potential to provide quick and cheap aerial data that would be difficult to obtain by conventional means. UAVs also have the ability to navigate without being...

  • High School Teachers’ Approaches toward Canonical Literature in Culturally Diverse Classrooms

    Creator:
    Ferguson, Carly R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative research study is to address the disconnect in high school classrooms between traditionally taught, canonical texts and the increasingly diverse population of students reading them through the framework of culturally responsive teaching (Ladson-Billings, 1994; Gay, 2010). Open-ended interviews were utilized to document the teaching practices...

    King, Valery and Christensen-Lee, Sara
    Abstract:
    Shifting priorities in academic libraries have led to experimentation in methods of keeping a reference desk open for the users who still need in-person immediate help, while at the same time freeing up faculty librarians to pursue other pressing priorities. The Valley Library at Oregon State University has relied entirely...

  • Formative Work Toward a Mixed-Initiative Programming Language

    Creator:
    Abbott, Keeley
    Abstract:
    Mixed-initiative programming entails collaboration between a computer system, and a human to achieve some desired goal or set of goals. Often these goals change or are amended in real time during the course of program execution. As such, the plans these programs are based on must adapt and evolve to...

  • WiFO: A hybrid communication network based on integrated free-space optical and WiFi femtocells

    Creator:
    Liverman, Spencer, Wang, Qiwei, Chu, Yu-Jung, Borah, Anindita, Wang, Songtao, Natarajan, Arun, Wang, Alan X., and Thinh Nguyen
    Abstract:
    Developments in smart home technology and the Internet of Things have significantly increased the demand for high-speed indoor wireless links. Although the majority of the research conducted in this area is still focused on the efficient usage of radio frequency (RF) spectrum, free-space optical (FSO) networks have also been explored...

  • Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substance release from landfills and landfill model reactors

    Creator:
    Allred, Brent McKay
    Abstract:
    Research and public concern of poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as environmental contaminants has increased significantly due to the increasing number of reports of their detection in humans and wildlife. PFASs have a number of commercial applications including surfactants, coatings, polymers, and levelers, which are used on consumer products like...

    Abstract:
    Accurate information of power network parameters is essential for performing various power system monitoring and control tasks including state estimation, economic dispatch, and contingency analysis. In this paper, we present a novel approach of power network parameter correction wherein we exploit the sparse nature of parameter errors. Parameter error correction...
