Simulating range-wide population and breeding habitat dynamics for an endangered woodland warbler in the face of uncertainty

Creator:: Duarte, Adam, Hatfield, Jeff S., Swannack, Todd M., Forstner, Michael R., Green, M. Clay, and Weckerly, Floyd W.
Abstract:: Population viability analyses provide a quantitative approach that seeks to predict the possible future status of a species of interest under different scenarios and, therefore, can be important components of large-scale species’ conservation programs. We created a model and simulated range-wide population and breeding habitat dynamics for an endangered woodland...

Strength and Composition of Willamette Valley Cob: An Earthen Building Material

Creator:: Pullen, Quinn M.
Abstract:: Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters, including both average values...

GeoPost: An Army Installation GIS Cloud Management System for Facilities and Emergency Services

Creator:: Kaiser, Douglas M.
Abstract:: In the last couple years cloud services have become mainstream and easily accessible for organizations to purchase and utilize. GeoPost is a variant on that by introducing GIS to it cloud services for installation management. GeoPost takes the Microsoft Azure Cloud and using ESRI’s Enterprise builds a cloud GIS platform....

Design of an Optical Medium for the Simulation of Neutron Transport in Reactor Component Materials

Creator:: Konyndyk, David M.
Abstract:: The scattering of optical rays by small spherical particles bears a strong resemblance to the diffusion of fission neutrons in solid materials. This work explores the feasibility of exploiting similarities between these two systems for the purposes of reactor component analysis, education, and outreach. After a brief overview of reactor-environment...

Household Determinants and the Resource Consumption: A Case Study of Baghmara Community Forestry in Nepal

Creator:: Timilsina, Dinesh
Abstract:: This study examines the association of household characteristics with forest product consumption and other benefits derived from community forest in Nepal. The analysis is based on random sample data of 80 households from a Community Forest User Groups of Baghmara Community Forestry (BCF) in Nepal. Using an OLS regression to...

"Labor Market Situation for Syrian Refugees in Iraq" Case Study Arbat Refugee Camp - Kurdistan Region

Creator:: Mahmood, Aram
Abstract:: The Syrian civil war generated waves of refugees who flow into neighboring countries. These refugees have been creating excess supply of labor in host countries. This study involves a series of interviews in which respondents shared their perceptions of their involvement in the labor market in Iraq. These interviews provide...

Bone gains in adolescent athletes and non-athletes

Creator:: Rinder, Todd Anthony
Abstract:: Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip...

Personalizing machine learning systems with explanatory debugging

Creator:: Kulesza, Todd
Abstract:: How can end users efficiently influence the predictions that machine learning systems make on their behalf? Traditional systems rely on users to provide examples of how they want the learning system to behave, but this is not always practical for the user, nor efficient for the learning system. This dissertation...

Capitalizing on Oregon’s Offshore Freshwater Bounty REnewable Food Energy Water on Land and Sea (REFEWLS)

Creator:: Blessing, Jacob M.
Abstract:: REFEWLS - REnewable Food Energy Water on Land and Sea Nexus This project will explore the connections between food, energy, and water uses along Oregon's mid coastal regions with a emphasis and focus on Newport. On average Newport uses approximately 2,000,000 gallons of water per day, but in the tourist...

Performance of hybrid methods for representative nonproliferationproblems

Creator:: Bevill, Aaron M.
Abstract:: Adjoint-derived weight windowing is a hybrid deterministic/Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport. In adjoint-derived weight windowing, a deterministic adjoint solution is used to create weight windows for a Monte Carlo simulation. The intent of this work is to identify factors that reduce the Figure of Merit (FOM) of Monte...
