  • Novel Extensions and New Applications for Nonparametric Self-Exciting Point Processes

    Creator:
    Boyd, Peter C.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation I will demonstrate a novel application of self-exciting point process models to mass shooting data. I will also introduce two adaptations to the traditional nonparametric Hawkes process modeling framework. One such modification allows for the estimation of the additional productivity introduced by an event that is not...

  • Wave propagation processes at the mouth of the Columbia River

    Creator:
    Andes, Lisa (Lisa Christine)
    Abstract:
    The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the...

    Creator:
    Gifford, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Improvements on the charge control measurements of the torsion pendulum, electron gun, and autocollimator system were conducted at the University of Washington in preparation for the fabrication of the final prototype of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector for NASA. One main cause of transient forces on...

  • Extensions to Gaussian copula models

    Creator:
    Fang, Yan
    Abstract:
    A copula is the representation of a multivariate distribution. Copulas are used to model multivariate data in many fields. Recent developments include copula models for spatial data and for discrete marginals. We will present a new methodological approach for modeling discrete spatial processes and for predicting the process at unobserved...

  • Seeking Balance in Oregon’s Coastal River Aggregate Mining Policy: How Do Scientists Inform the Permit Streamlining Process?

    Creator:
    Ewing, Amy
    Abstract:
    This essay presents a case study of the Regional Gravel Initiative (RGI) workshop, one instance of policy makers using science to inform decision making for sustainable and streamlined processes. The RGI consists of eight agencies, both federal and state, with responsibilities for informing and issuing permits for mining aggregate on...

    Hall, Alice
    Abstract:
    The Second Pandemic had a profound impact on the people of Europe. In the few years between 1347 and 1350, a new epidemic disease spread across the entirety of Europe and killed between one third and two thirds of the population. While this initial wave was important, the real significance...

  • A Feminist Celebrates the Rediscovery of Immanence

    Creator:
    Lockhart, Janet L.
    Abstract:
    I offer a personal and prehistoric exploration of the concept of immanence, the principle of a divine force living, remaining, and operating within living creatures, inherent in the human, including the female; a unifying force that connects humans to each other, to nature, and to the earth. I examine the...

  • In Pursuit of Literacy

    Creator:
    Freemole, George Maynard
    Abstract:
    My teaching experiences raised questions about the nature of literacy, especially about its relationship with education and schooling. Common sense, straightforward definitions of literacy failed to address those questions adequately, and that inadequacy led to the study which culminates in this thesis. In Pursuit of Literacy focuses on literacy in...
