Hybrid Statistical and Engineering Optimization Architectures in Early Multidisciplinary Designs of Resilience and Expensive Black-box Complex Systems

Creator:: Biswas, Arpan
Abstract:: Practical engineering design problems are generally multi-disciplinary with limited budget and high risk in terms of life loss, economic resources, etc. In the early phase of such problems, selection of true efficient designs is desired while minimizing overall design cost by avoiding expensive search processes. However, the task is difficult...

Turbine Induced Bird and Bat Fatalities at Wind Projects : Statistical Methods for Mortality Estimation Using Road and Pad Carcass Surveys

Creator:: Maurer, Joseph D.
Abstract:: Turbines at wind projects pose a threat to birds and bats flying at altitudes within the rotor swept area. These animals die from colliding with the turbine blades. Estimating mortality, or the total number of bird or bat fatalities at a wind project, is critical to understanding environmental impacts of...

Statistics in Education: Contributions to Teaching and Data Analysis

Creator:: Totty, Njesa
Abstract:: In this dissertation we present a compilation of the research conducted during the author’s doctoral program. In the first part, we discuss a case study regarding the impact of scholar-ships on student success at Oregon State University (OSU). Specifically, we look at the grad-uation and retention rates and aim to...

A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

Creator:: Brintz, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...

Modelling Early-Seral Vegetation Dynamics Using Climate and Soil Moisture

Creator:: Guevara, Claudio A.
Abstract:: Forest plantations in the Pacific Northwest are highly productive and have been intensively managed to maximize tree growth with practices such as Forest Vegetation Management (FVM). Different FVM regimes have been shown to enhance forest establishment by reducing the competition between the planted seedlings and early-seral vegetation. To better understand...

Systematics of the Gomphales: the genus Gomphus sensu stricto

Creator:: Giachini, Admir J., Camelini, Carla M., Rossi, Marcio J., Soares, Claudio R. F. S., and Trappe, James M.
Abstract:: Gomphus sensu lato (Gomphales) was described to include species of cantharelloid-gomphoid fungi that had 'merulioid' (wrinkled) hymenia and verrucose spores. Gomphus sensu stricto is currently characterized by unipileate to merismatoid (composed of several pilei) basidiomata, depressed funnel- to fan-shaped pilei, presence of clamp connections, and verrucose spores; it has three...

A Linear Mixed Model Framework for Spatio-Temporal Random Processes using the Separable and Product-Sum Covariance Structures

Creator:: Dumelle, Michael J.
Abstract:: We describe spatio-temporal random processes using linear mixed models and discuss estimation, inference, and prediction under this formulation. We show how many commonly used covariances are special cases of this more general framework and pay special attention to the separable and product-sum covariances. The linear mixed model formulation facilitates straightforward...

Characteristics of pools used by adult summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Steamboat Creek Basin, North Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Baigun, Claudio Rafael Mariano
Abstract:: This study examined features of deep pool (>0.8 m mean depth) used by adult summer steelhead in Steamboat Creek (1991-1992). Steamboat Creek had a heterogenous thermal profile, with some segments exceeding preferred temperature of steelhead. Deep pools were scarce (4% of the total habitat units) and 39% of them were...
