Evaluation functions in aerial image segmentation

Creator:: Langford, William T.
Abstract:: Remote sensing is the most practical way to acquire large amounts of land cover data for monitoring and understanding environmental change, so it is important to be able to map land cover from imagery. Maps defining land cover patches as polygons rather than pixels greatly improve processing efficiency in models...

Classification context in a machine learning approach to predicting protein secondary structure

Creator:: Langford, Bill T.
Abstract:: An important problem in molecular biology is to predict the secondary structure of proteins from their primary structure. The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acid residues. The secondary structure is an abstract description of the shape of the folded protein, with regions identified as alpha...

Diversity at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site : processes of diversification in historical interpretation, visitor services, and workforce management

Creator:: Langford, Theresa E.
Abstract:: Issues of diversity are receiving significant attention within the National Park Service recently, due in large part to a growing awareness that its future as a relevant and viable agency is dependent upon improving its response to and management of diversity. A diversity assessment of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site...

Genetic algorithms as function optimizers

Creator:: Langford, Bill
Abstract:: We survey the use of genetic algorithms in function optimization. We find that there are two distinct camps. Holland's camp seems to be interested in artificial intelligence uses of genetic algorithms and seems to have made only a few attempts at function optimization. Rechenberg's camp has concentrated on the optimization...

An Anthropological Approach to Teaching Health Sciences Students Cultural Competency in a Field School Program

Creator:: Hutchins, Frank T., Brown, Lori DiPrete, and Poulsen, Keith P.
Abstract:: International immersion experiences do not, in themselves, provide students with the opportunity to develop cultural competence. However, using an anthropological lens to educate students allows them to learn how to negotiate cultural differences by removing their own cultural filters and seeing events through the eyes of those who are culturally...

Evaluation of a Workplace Treadmill Desk Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Creator:: Schuna, John M., Jr., Swift, Damon L., Hendrick, Chelsea A., Duet, Megan T., Johnson, William D., Martin, Corby K., Church, Timothy S., and Tudor-Locke, Catrine
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-month treadmill desk intervention in eliciting changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior among overweight/obese office workers. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among overweight/obese office workers (n=41; mean age = 40.1 ± 10.1 years) at a private workplace. Participants were randomly...

Prenatal Care in Oregon and Washington: Policy and Utilization for Vulnerable Women

Creator:: Docherty, Angie and Johnston, Alison L.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: In the prenatal period, women can have sustained contact with nurses and other clinicians, forming relationships that are likely to be health enhancing both for the woman and her unborn child. Yet first trimester care use in Oregon dropped noticeably over the past decade. In comparison with Washington State,...

Contribution of Calcium Oxalate to Soil-Exchangeable Calcium

Creator:: Dauer, Jenny M. and Perakis, Steven S.
Abstract:: Acid deposition and repeated biomass harvest have decreased soil calcium (Ca) availability in many temperate forests worldwide, yet existing methods for assessing available soil Ca do not fully characterize soil Ca forms. To account for discrepancies in ecosystem Ca budgets, it has been hypothesized that the highly insoluble biomineral Ca...

Effect of Protease Inhibitors on Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Oral Norethindrone Contraception in HIV-Infected Women

Creator:: Atrio, Jessica, Stanczyk, Frank Z., Neely, Michael, Cherala, Ganesh, Kovacs, Andrea, and Mishell, Daniel R., Jr.
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: Pharmacokinetic interactions exist between combined oral contraceptives and protease inhibitors (PI). However, such information is lacking for progestin-only oral contraception. We sought to define the steady-state pharmacokinetic interaction between norethindrone (NET) and PI in HIV-infected women. METHODS AND DESIGN: We conducted an open-label, prospective, nonrandomized trial to characterize the...
