Results from vegetation management trials involving horticultural crops conducted during the past year are compiled and reported by faculty members of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, the Oregon State Extension Service, and colleagues who cooperated from adjacent states along with local enterprises. This work was conducted throughout Oregon and involved...
Confluence is a newsletter of Oregon Sea Grant promoting discovery, understanding, and resilience for Oregon coastal communities and ecosystems. Articles feature the supported research and events of the program.
This data set includes the calibrated predictions of Depth, Elevation, Water Surface Elevation, Shear Stress, Vorticity, and Froude Number for three reaches in the Mill Creek watershed, a tributary of the Siletz River, Oregon. The predictions are for bankfull flow before and after the addition of Large Wood using Nays2DH,...
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of premixed, two-dimensional unsteady and three-dimensional, turbulent hydrogen/air flames, using the multicomponent and mixture-averaged diffusion models. In particular, this dataset contains information about diffusion flux angles and magnitudes. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely...
We present a user study to investigate the impact of explanations on non-experts' understanding of reinforcement learning (RL) agents. We investigate both a common RL visualization, saliency maps (the focus of attention), and a more recent explanation type, reward-decomposition bars (predictions of future types of rewards). We designed a 124...
This edition contains research updates and a comprehensive list of publications summarizing research conducted by faculty of the Oregon Wine Research Institute at Oregon State University. Dr. Bob Martin, Research Plant Pathologist (Virology), USDA, opens the newsletter with a research update on grapevine red blotch disease that provides growers with...
