    Taylor, Aimee Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forests (RF) have consistently outperformed other machine learning algorithms on a variety of problems. SVM can be used for classification and regression on many types of data (e.g. nonlinear, high dimensional), but cannot handle missing or mixed data. This research implements a permutation-based variable...

  • Modeling sage-grouse habitat using a state-and-transition model

    Creator:
    Evers, Louisa
    Abstract:
    Habitat for wildlife species that depend on sagebrush ecosystems is of great management concern. Evaluating how management activities and climate change may affect the abundance of moderate and high-quality habitat necessitates the development of models that examine vegetation dynamics, but modeling tools for rangeland systems are limited. I developed state-and-transition...

  • Castle Rocks : a late miocene eruptive center at the north end of Green Ridge, Jefferson County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Wendland, David W.
    Abstract:
    Castle Rocks is 12 miles east of Mt. Jefferson, in the central Cascades of Oregon. The area contains volcanic rocks ranging from mid-Miocene to Holocene in age. These rocks record alternating periods of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline volcanism. The oldest rocks in the area range from basaltic andesite lava flows to...

    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...

    Creator:
    Bailey, Mark Hopkins
    Abstract:
    The western Taylor Park area covers about 65 square miles on the western flank of the Sawatch Range. It is underlain chiefly by Precambrian rocks, partially covered on the east by glacial debris and overlapped on the west and south by Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. The Precambrian rocks include a group...

  • A Social-Ecological Perspective on Vulnerable Youth: Toward an Understanding of Sexual Development Among Urban African American Adolescents

    Creator:
    Catania, Joseph A. and Dolcini, M. Margaret
    Abstract:
    The authors employ a social-ecological framework to aid our understanding of the complex array of factors in the immediate and broader environment that influence adolescent sexual development. Further, sexual development is viewed as normative and critical to positive growth. The authors provide an overview of the Two-Cities Study, a multi-stage...

  • Climate and streamflow trends in the Columbia River basin: evidence for ecological and engineering resilience to climate change

    Creator:
    Hatcher, Kendra L. and Jones, Julia A.
    Abstract:
    Large river basins integrate the signal of water from atmospheres to oceans. Climate change is widely expected to alter streamflow and potentially disrupt water management systems. We tested the ecological resilience -- capacity of headwater ecosystems to sustain streamflow under climate change – and the engineering resilience – capacity of...
