The accuracy of pedometers for adults with Down syndrome during controlled and free-walking conditions

Creator:: Pitchford, Edward Andrew
Abstract:: It has been demonstrated that walking is the most common form of physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome (DS). The pedometer is common measurement tool to quantify steps walked, yet there is little evidence of the psychometric properties for individuals with intellectual disabilities, particularly DS. Thus,...

Roles of self-efficacy and social support on physical activity behavior in older adults with and without intellectual disabilities

Creator:: Dixon, Alicia M.
Abstract:: In order to increase life expectancy without long periods of morbidity, physical activity should be a component in every older adult's lifestyle. It is proven that regular physical activity can improve health and quality of life for older adults; however, the older population is one of the most sedentary populations...

The effect of various breathing maneuvers on measurement of lung volumes for hydrostatic weighing

Creator:: Zhu, Gaoyong
Abstract:: This study was to determine if an increase of PaC0₂, after breath-holding prior to full inspiration, could enable a person to reach the same FVC measured on land while submerged. Another purpose of this study was to explore the difference in Db and %BF between HW at RV, TLC and...

Physical activity levels of students with and without a disability in inclusive and self contained physical education

Creator:: Sweeney, Kristin B.
Abstract:: As obesity rates of children and adolescents rise within the Unites States, physical activity becomes increasingly important for adolescents with and without a disability. As the trend toward increased obesity rates in adolescents continues, there are similiar increases in the percentage of children being educated in inclusive settings. The purpose...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Heavy Metals (Lead, Copper, and Zinc) in Stormwater, Moss, and Street Dust in Portland, OR

Creator:: Bauer, Sophia O. A.
Abstract:: Lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are known to have detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and to human health both in rural and urban areas. Heavy metal contamination enters stormwater by atmospheric deposition and by the collection of surface particles during overland flow. Stormwater runoff in urban...

An economic model of search and matching in international trade

Creator:: Zhang, Xin
Abstract:: Small manufacturing firms often serve a domestic market but would like to expand their sales overseas. It is difficult for a small firm to develop overseas contracts and relationships, however, in part because of their small size, and because the advantages of their products may not always be obvious. The...

A multiscale approach to bacterial adhesion

Creator:: Ostvar, Sassan
Abstract:: This work is an attempt to develop a simple physical description for the initial interactions between a bacterial cell and a substrate surface. This is done by adopting a view that regards bacterial surface biomolecules not as secondary and add-on contributors to the potential energy function that characterizes the overall...

Genome Resource Development for Advancement of Corylus avellana Breeding

Creator:: Talbot, Samuel Corcoran
Abstract:: The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a tree nut crop that is important in Oregon, which produces 99% of the United States’ hazelnuts but only 5% of the world’s supply. In order to maintain this market share, farmers in Oregon need cultivars that produce high quality nuts, mature early,...

Sediment Deposition Characteristics in Shallow Saturation Excess Overland Flow with Application to Bioswales and Construction of a Novel Bioswale Design for Improved Contaminant Removal from Stormwater

Creator:: Wells, Jacqueline R.
Abstract:: Over the last two decades, urban stormwater management has grown to include green infrastructure, such as bioswales. These systems were primarily designed to mitigate hydraulic peaking during rainstorms but were also found to remove particulate and dissolved contaminants. However, little is known about the fate of these particulate contaminants after...

The Influence of Stormwater Water Quality on the Adsorption of Copper and Zinc onto Five Different Sorbents

Creator:: Kanalos, Casey A.
Abstract:: Best Management Practices (BMP) are widely used as a method for stormwater volume control in urban areas to prevent an overload of water on receiving water bodies and treatment facilities. BMPs ability to treat stormwater has gone under critical review in the last few decades, and their performance varies both...
