Automation and Evaluation of Graduated Dot Maps

Creator:: Arnold, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Dot mapping is a traditional method for visualizing quantitative data, but current automateddot mapping techniques are limited. The most common automated method places dotspseudo-randomly within enumeration areas, which can result in overlapping dots and verydense dot clusters for areas with large values. These issues affect users’ ability to estimatevalues. Graduated...

Chemical and physical influences of the atmosphere upon the spatial and temporal characteristics of atomic fluorescence in laser microprobe plumes

Creator:: Lewis, Arnold Leroy
Abstract:: The temporal and spatial characteristics of the plume produced by a laser microprobe, are dependent upon the composition and pressure of the atmosphere surrounding it. It has been shown that certain atmospheres can enhance the analytical signal by increasing the free atom lifetime. Improvements were made to the existing laser...

Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

Creator:: Drake, Griffin S.
Abstract:: Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...

President Clinton's health care rhetoric : the role of anecdotal evidence in promoting identification

Creator:: Dahl, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to illuminate the presence and rhetorical effect of anecdotes in President Clinton's major health care address. It is the health care debate that shows most clearly how Clinton tries to direct a multi-level campaign that attempts to identify his interests (passage of the Health...

The attitudes of Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmates towards activity programs as a rehabilitative tool

Creator:: McIntosh, Mathew Allen
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of three Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmate groups - Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans - towards the Activities Programs as a rehabilitative tool. Two other purposes were to (1) determine significant differences among group attitudes, and (2) determine the degree...

Ingestion of Microplastics in the Juvenile Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from Oregon Coastal Sampling Sites

Creator:: Arnold, Madison A.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk. There are currently gaps in the microplastic literature regarding microplastic data from finfish...

Effectiveness of interactive video in teaching basic photography skills

Creator:: Abrams, Arnold H.
Abstract:: The major purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of interactive video in the teaching/learning process. More specifically, a comparison was made of the relative effectiveness of interactive video and linear video as delivery modes in the acquisition of basic photography skills in an independent learning environment at...

Evaluating a Zonal-mean Hydrologic Model Against a Water Tag-enabled Global Simulation

Creator:: Mandovi, Andrew
Abstract:: The hydrologic cycle on Earth comprises the transitions among the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of water. Understanding the hydrologic cycle is of course important for climate science, but also for agricultural, drinking water, and disaster preparedness purposes. Improvements in satellite observations and general circulation models (GCMs) have led to...

Understanding the Impact of Global Warming on Orographic Rain Shadows: Insights from a Pseudo-Global Warming Simulation over the Western United States

Creator:: Koszuta, Matthew
Abstract:: Some studies using regional climate models (RCMs) suggest a weakening of the climatological rain-shadow along the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains during the western US cool-season. To identify the possible mechanisms of rain-shadow weakening under warming, a new set of 30-year, high-resolution (6 km) pseudo-global warming (PGW) simulations were analyzed...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...
