Psychosocial Influences on Self-Reported and Performance-Based Indicators of Cognitive Health and Aging: An Intraindividual Variability Approach

Creator:

Cerino, Eric S.

Abstract:

An estimated 5.7 million Americans are currently living with the dementia stage of Alzheimer’s disease, impeding health and wellbeing for individuals diagnosed, caregivers, families, and communities across the country (Alzheimer’s Association, 2018). Studying early indicators of age-related cognitive decline and pathological cognitive impairment (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) is crucial to inform...

The Effect of Exercise on the Biomechanical Determinants of Knee Energy Absorption during Single-leg Jump-cuts

Creator:

Pollard, Anne E.

Abstract:

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in a wide variety of sports and most frequently occur during activities requiring rapid deceleration such as landing and cutting. Deceleration of the body's center of mass during movement results primarily from eccentric muscle contraction. This type of contraction serves to absorb energy from...

Shear reinforcement effects of discrete columns in liquefiable soils

Creator:

Rayamajhi, Deepak

Abstract:

Discrete columns, such as stone and soil-cement columns, are often used to improve the liquefaction resistance of loose sandy ground. In particular, stone columns are considered to increase resistance potential by densification, drainage, and reinforcement mechanisms. For silty soil, the shear stress reduction resulting from the reinforcing effect of stiffer...
