  • Use of Virtual Visual Sensors in the Determination of Natural Frequencies of Timber Structures for Structural Health Monitoring

    Creator:
    Walker, Kristopher
    Abstract:
    Many nondestructive techniques for structural health monitoring are subjective and based on visual observations of degradation. In addition, dynamic properties of structures are already used to obtain quantitative structural health data. However, most current data collection is limited to localized damage on the structure, rather than global response. Recent research...

  • Psychological Effects of Sport Injury on NCAA Division I Student Athlete: A Qualitative Case Study

    Creator:
    Gilbert, Kily C.
    Abstract:
    Negative emotional states are common for injured athletes, yet a 2016 survey suggested that only 38.3% of NCAA institutions had a full or part-time mental health professional (Kroshus, 2016). In considering the lack of support for mental health conditions in NCAA institutions, and the mental and psychological issues that come...

  • Transportation network connectivity, facilities encouraging walkability, and crime

    Creator:
    Bornasal, Floraliza B.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the relationship between crime, transportation network connectivity, and engineered facilities built to increase walkability through a case study of twenty-five sites within the city of Spokane, Washington. Using data spanning between 2008 and 2010, the author developed a GIS model representing conditions of the built environment, social...

  • Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Insulin Action and Fatty Acid Trafficking with Obesity and Exercise

    Creator:
    Stierwalt, Harrison D.
    Abstract:
    Altered skeletal muscle fat metabolism is linked to changes in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Whereby the accumulation of bioactive signaling lipids (i.e., diacylglycerols and ceramides) within skeletal muscle are negatively associated with insulin sensitivity and the exercise-induced changes to fatty acid trafficking are related to improved skeletal muscle insulin action....

  • Exploring Civil Engineering Undergraduate and Practitioners’ Performance on Strength of Materials Concept Inventory

    Creator:
    Sanchez, Dominga
    Abstract:
    Preparing successful engineering undergraduate students for the workforce is imperative and requires students to apply their conceptual understanding of engineering fundamentals to engineering design work. Conceptual understanding is assessed through the use of concept inventories. Learning theories may help explain differences in concept inventory performance. Expert novice theory suggests that...

  • Hip loading during the squat exercise

    Creator:
    Haberly, Gabriel J.
    Abstract:
    Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...

  • Cyclic performance of connections used in hybrid cross-laminated timber

    Creator:
    Mahdavifar, Vahid
    Abstract:
    One of the recent additions to the panoply of engineered wood products is cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is a prefabricated, large-scale, solid wood panel that consists of multiple layers of lumbers stacked together, with each layer arranged perpendicular to the next layer, glued with structural grade adhesives, and pressed. The...

  • Biomechanical Demands and Postural Control During Exercises Commonly Performed by Older Adults in Falls Prevention Programs

    Creator:
    Stutzenberger, Lyndsay R.
    Abstract:
    Exercise programs that are individualized and moderately challenge balance to address falls risk factors are recommended for preventing falls in community-dwelling older adults. Little is known regarding the biomechanical and postural control demands in exercises commonly performed in falls prevention programs. Twenty-two non-sedentary, healthy older adults (11 men, 11 women,...

  • Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

    Creator:
    Santha, Rubini
    Abstract:
    Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...
