Testing Hypotheses about Medical Test Accuracy: Considerations for Design and Inference

Creator:: Branscum, Adam J., Cheng, Dunlei, and Lee, J. Jack
Abstract:: Developing new medical tests and identifying single biomarkers or panels of biomarkers with superior accuracy over existing classifiers promotes lifelong health of individuals and populations. Before a medical test can be routinely used in clinical practice, its accuracy within diseased and non-diseased populations must be rigorously evaluated. We introduce a...

Environmental effects on heartwood extractive content and their consequences for natural durability in Douglas-fir and western redcedar

Creator:: Taylor, Adam McVaugh, 1969-
Abstract:: Heartwood can have properties that are distinct from sapwood, including resistance to insect and microbial attack. Despite the practical importance of heartwood formation in trees, a review of the literature revealed that little was known about the effects of environmental factors on heartwood quality or how variations in heartwood properties...

Using Cure Models for Analyzing the Influence of Pathogens on Salmon Survival

Creator:: Ray, R. Adam, Perry, Russell W., Som, Nicholas A., and Bartholomew, Jerri L.
Abstract:: Parasites and pathogens influence the size and stability of wildlife populations, yet many population models ignore the population-level effects of pathogens. Standard survival analysis methods (e.g., accelerated failure time models) are used to assess how survival rates are influenced by disease. However, they assume that each individual is equally susceptible...

Maxie J Peterson Thesis.doc

Creator:: Peterson, Maxie Jean
Abstract:: The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Farm level response to agricultural effluent control strategies : the case of the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Changes in the structure of the U.S. agricultural industry since World War II have transformed it into a highly productive component of the domestic economy. But these changes have not occurred without indirect costs. For example, the reliance on agricultural chemicals has produced environmental effects causing growing concern. In addition,...

The genetic regulation of sex-specific motorneurons by the doublesex gene in Drosophila melanogaster and the genetic characterization of an interaction with the sex determination hierarchy

Creator:: Larsen, DeLaine D.
Abstract:: The remodeling of the central nervous system (CNS) during metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster is a prime model system in which to study the genetic control of the sexual dimorphisms in the abdominal ganglion of the CNS. I have been using a P[tau-lacZ] enhancer trap line, 4.078, to label a segmentally...

Hughes Taylor Thesis.pdf

Creator:: Hughes, Taylor Neil
Abstract:: Obesity is achieved at the point where fat accumulation begins to exert deleterious effects on an organism. The human body accrues fat when there is an energy imbalance occurring, where caloric intake exceeds expenditure.Many anti-obesity drugs used in the past have had undesirable side effects, and currently there is a...

Antenna Characterization for Bluetooth-based Travel Time Data Collection

Creator:: Porter, J. David, Kim, David S., Magana, Mario E., Poocharoen, Panupat, and Arriaga, Carlos Antar Gutierrez
Abstract:: Several approaches for travel time data collection based on the reading of time-stamped media access control addresses from Bluetooth-enabled devices have been reported in the literature recently. This new approach offers a number of advantages over more conventional methods, including lower costs of hardware and software, the volume of data...
