Motivating programmers through karma systems

Creator:: Cedeno, Jose
Abstract:: Keeping FOSS developers motivated is a challenging problem, and their motivation levels can affect the team's productivity and satisfaction, leading to higher or lower productivity. Using reputation systems as a motivator has become the de-facto standard for many online communities, rewarding user's activity through badges of honor or achievement levels....

The changing glaciers of Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington : implications for periglacial debris flows

Creator:: Ellinger, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Mountain glaciers are receding worldwide with numerous consequences including changing hydrology and geomorphology. This study focuses on changes in glacier area on Mt. Hood, Oregon and Mt. Rainier, Washington where damaging debris flows have occurred in glaciated basins. Landsat imagery is used to map debris-free ice on a decadal time...

High-resolution sampling of particulate organic carbon in a coastal upwelling system

Creator:: Holser, Rachel R.
Abstract:: Summertime, wind-driven upwelling off the Oregon coast delivers nutrient rich water to the surface that fuels the autotrophic production of particulate organic carbon (POC). This POC can be transported horizontally by fluid motions and vertically by sinking to the bottom where it can be entrained in the benthic boundary layer...

Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research

Creator:: Holmes, Susan
Abstract:: Recent observational programs to understand the coastal ocean, like the Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS) are under development (www.orcoos.org). A challenge in facing observing systems is achieving spatial and temporal coverage at scales that are useful for ocean modeling. Observational buoys are relatively few and towed arrays and gliders...

Application and Validation of Geant4 Modeling for Optimization of Complex Structures for Fast Neutron Detection

Creator:: Capps, Jacob W.
Abstract:: Fast neutron detection is important to the detection of illicit nuclear materials and can help prevent those materials from being used or transported without discovery. Previous research has shown that Heavy Oxide Inorganic Scintillator crystals can be used to detect fast neutrons by capitalizing on their high inelastic scattering cross...

Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

Creator:: Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
Abstract:: This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

An Exploratory Study of Mathematics Disciplinary Practices in Advanced Mathematics

Creator:: Glover, Erin D.
Abstract:: Policy and research have increased attention in K12 mathematics education on core mathematical practices such as argumentation, justification, and proof, that are central to students learning and doing mathematics. One reason for this increased focus is the empirical evidence that engaging students in mathematical practices provide more equitable opportunities for...

How Does Climate Change Adaptation and Carbon Price Policy Affect Forested Landscapes? An Empirical Analysis of Forest Management under Climate Change on the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Hashida, Yukiko
Abstract:: Private forest landowners can adapt to climate change by altering their timing and intensity of harvests, by changing thinning or fertilizing activities, and by altering the tree species growing on their land. The well-being of humans is closely tied to the ecosystem services that forests provide as both market and...

Optimal spatial-dynamic resource allocation facing uncertainty : integrating economics and ecology for invasive species policy

Creator:: Hall, Kim M.
Abstract:: The spatial and temporal behavior of invasive species spread implies that optimal management strategies involve decisions over space and time. Dispersal and propagule pressure are two primary drivers of the spatial-temporal ecological process of species invasion. In the case of riparian communities, stream flow drives the dispersal of vegetation propagules....

Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...
