North Pacific Humpback Whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) in Northern Southeast Alaska: Population Trends, Monitoring, and Management

Creator:: Thurber, Rhianna L.
Abstract:: After the commercial exploitation of humpback whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) ceased, population trends in the North Pacific increased with the implementation of federal protective legislation. The recovery of the population prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to divide the population into 14 Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) based on discrete geographic...

Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

Creator:: Mellon, Taylor R. P.
Abstract:: Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...

Greater decision-making competence is associated with greater expected-value sensitivity, but not overall risk taking: an examination of concurrent validity

Creator:: Parker, Andrew M. and Weller, Joshua A.
Abstract:: Decision-making competence reflects individual differences in the susceptibility to committing decision-making errors, measured using tasks common from behavioral decision research (e.g., framing effects, under/overconfidence, following decision rules). Prior research demonstrates that those with higher decision-making competence report lower incidence of health-risking and antisocial behaviors, but there has been less focus...

Survival Rates of Northern Spotted Owls in Post-fire Landscapes of Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A., Anthony, Robert G., and Andrews, Lawrence S.
Abstract:: We estimated annual survival rates (S) of 23 radio-marked Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) at the Quartz and Timbered Rock burns and adjacent areas in southwest Oregon. We used known-fate models in program MARK to test for differences in survival among three groups (owls dwelling inside of burned areas,...

Assessing Research Data Management Practices of Faculty at Carnegie Mellon University

Creator:: Van Tuyl, Steve, Michalek, Gabrielle, and Van Tuyl, Steven
Abstract:: INTRODUCTION: Recent changes to requirements for research data management by federal granting agencies and by other funding institutions have resulted in the emergence of institutional support for these requirements. At CMU, we sought to formalize assessment of research data management practices of researchers at the institution by launching a faculty...

Bearing capacity and immediate settlement of shallow foundations on clay

Creator:: Strahler, Andrew W.
Abstract:: Shallow foundations are extensively used to support structures of all sizes and derive their support from near surface soils. Thus, they are typically embedded up to a few meters into the soil profile. Designers of shallow foundations are required to meet two limit states: overall failure of the soil beneath...

Evidence of buried particulate organic carbon as foundation for heterotrophic carbon metabolism in the hyporheic zone of a montane headwater stream in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Serchan, Satish P.
Abstract:: Streams and rivers play a critical role in global carbon (C) cycling by processing, storing, and transporting C. Headwater streams which make up more than 95% of the length of streams and rivers worldwide have disproportionate influence on fluvial C dynamics. The hyporheic zone (HZ) of headwater streams is a...

The changes they are a-timed: metabolism, endogenousclocks, and the timing of puberty

Creator:: Tolson, Kristen P. and Chappell, Patrick E.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity has increased dramatically over the last several decades, particularly in industrialized countries, often accompanied by acceleration of pubertal progression and associated reproductive abnormalities (Biro et al., 2006; Rosenfield et al., 2009). The timing of pubertal initiation and progression in mammals is likely influenced by nutritional and metabolic state,...

Decision-making competence predicts domain-specific risk attitudes

Creator:: Weller, Joshua A., Ceschi, Andrea, and Randolph, Caleb
Abstract:: Decision-making competence (DMC) reflects individual differences in rational responding across several classic behavioral decision-making tasks. Although it has been associated with real-world risk behavior, less is known about the degree to which DMC contributes to specific components of risk attitudes. Utilizing a psychological risk-return framework, we examined the associations between...

Exploring the foundations of science interest development in early childhood

Creator:: Pattison, Scott A.
Abstract:: There is growing evidence that children develop science-related interests in early childhood, before they enter school, and that these interests may have long-term implications for science participation and achievement. Although researchers have made headway in describing interest development in the preschool years, little is currently known about the proximal processes...
