Passenger security screening is a continuously evolving process and not much is known about how passengers perceive its effectiveness in keeping air travel safe. The provided thesis consists of two manuscripts that expand the literature on passenger perception of safety through the application of advanced econometric techniques. This thesis aims...
This report describes results of baseline monitoring at the Ni-les’tun tidal wetland restoration site, Bandon National Wildlife Refuge, Coquille River estuary of Oregon. Baseline monitoring provides a basis for comparison to post-restoration conditions, allowing future determination of project effectiveness. The report focuses on 2010-2011 baseline data, but it also includes...
The purpose of this study was to examine the mid-life period of
women's lives. It attempted to determine if this time is generally one of crisis, or more commonly a period of smooth transition. Furthermore, it attempted to determine if there is a typical pattern of emotional concerns experienced by...
The study resulted from a desire and interest to include computer
simulation techniques in the design of educational practices.
The purposes of the study were (1) to develop a computer model which
would simulate the service functions of a counseling center by tracing
students through the center and (2) to...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...

Abstract
3D volume segmentation is a fundamental process in many scientific and medical applications. Producing accurate segmentations, in an efficient way, is challenging, in part due to low imaging data quality (e.g., noise and low image resolution), and ambiguity in the data that can only be resolved with higher-level knowledge of...
Turnip yellow mosaic virus is a monopartite, plus sense RNA virus
infecting the Cruciferae, and is a model system for the study of RNA virus
replication. A cDNA clone (pTYMC) representing an infectious RNA
genome of the European isolate of TYMV was constructed and used to assess
the importance of...
