  • Experimental and numerical analysis of transport in saturated heterogeneous media

    Creator:
    Harrington, Stephanie J.
    Abstract:
    The conventional advection-dispersion equation cannot adequately describe all processes driving solute transport in heterogeneous systems. This dissertation focuses on the individual influences of both chemical (Chapter 2) and physical processes (Chapters 3 and 4) which affect solute transport. In Chapter 2 we analyzed uranium transport in natural sediment using the...

  • Person-environment fit and adaptation : exploring the interaction between person and environment in older age

    Creator:
    Lien, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    The ability to independently age in place requires an appropriate match between a person and the environment, or P-E fit. The person-environment interaction helps describe the adaptation processes employed in older age to achieve P-E fit, but is little understood. Therefore, the objective of this two-part study was to gain...

  • A comparison of two different balance programs

    Creator:
    Eisenhard, Jordyn
    Abstract:
    There is limited knowledge regarding differential training as it relates to balance. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and retention of a differential training balance program and a traditional balance program. Thirty-three Division I soccer athletes volunteered to participate and 29 completed the study. Participants were...

  • Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

    Creator:
    Stone, Clara A.
    Abstract:
    The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...

  • The effects of voluntary step-training on slip recovery

    Creator:
    Baxter, Josh R.
    Abstract:
    Falls caused by slips are a major health risk to older adults and place a large financial strain on the health care system. Previous research has found that individuals can learn to recover their balance after being exposed to a series of simulated slips. However, training large numbers of older...
