Preliminary investigation of microbial indicators in the assessment of Oregon streams

Creator:: Campbell, Heidi M. K.
Abstract:: The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) site selection protocol was used to generate a random sample of streams throughout the state of Oregon. One hundred and forty-six selected streams were sampled during the summer, low-flow period of 1997. Traditional microbial public health indicators, including heterotrophic plate counts (HPC), total...

Biological and mathematical modeling of dynamics of furunculosis in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Ogut, Hamdi
Abstract:: A series of experiments with Aeromonas salmonicida and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were carried out to determine dynamics of the spread of infection in chinook salmon (1.2-1.98g) and rainbow trout (1.2-3.1g). It was found in experiments with A. salmonicida that fish infected by bath immersion became infectious at 4...

The effect of a mail-mediated intervention on exercise behavior

Creator:: Levy, Susan S.
Abstract:: Self-determination theory suggests that social contexts that promote a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness will increase internalization of behavioral regulation and lead to more self-determined forms of motivation, the prototype of which is intrinsic motivation. A positive relationship between internalization of exercise behavior regulation and actual levels of exercise...

Radiographic validation and reliability of selected measures of pronation and biomechanical analysis of tarsal navicular displacement under static and dynamic loading conditions

Creator:: Hannigan-Downs, Kim
Abstract:: The navicular drop test (NDT), Feiss' line (FL) and standing foot angle (SFA) are clinical tests used to estimate the amount of pronation via inferior displacement of the tarsal navicular. Thirty-two patients (female and male, ages 18-65) who sought medical treatment for lower extremity pathologies participated in the study that...

The light shines in the darkness : a qualitative exploration of administrator satisfaction in an increasingly dissatisfying industry

Creator:: McCarthy, Jennifer
Abstract:: PURPOSE-Administrators of nursing homes are turning over at very high rates in the present industry. With the growth of older populations needing skilled nursing care, this presents a risk to the needs of the elderly. Satisfaction and turnover have been correlated in the literature. The purpose of this qualitative study...

Acculturation and food : a study of Vietnamese women in Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Sarasin, Heather M.
Abstract:: This study is intended to provide information about the situation of first-generation Vietnamese women to the IRCO Parent and Child Program Department in Portland, Oregon. Nutrition intervention and food assistance currently offered to Vietnamese women enrolled in this program is the focus of the study. The women interviewed characterize themselves...

Breast cancer screening behaviors among immigrant Iranian women in the United States

Creator:: Shirazi, Mehra A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe Iranian immigrant women's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards breast cancer, and their breast cancer screening behaviors. Specifically, this research examined the predictors of age-specific breast cancer screening participation among this population. The participants in this study consisted (n=34 1) of self-identified first...

Post mortem interval and decomposition rates : biological observations and mathematical analysis

Creator:: England, David B.
Abstract:: Entomological evidence can be used for estimating post mortem interval (PMI). Decomposition studies have been conducted throughout the world and these studies have demonstrated that insect succession generally follows a similar pattern at a taxonomic level, specifically family, but varies at the genus and species levels with respect to geographic...

Cultural changes influencing rising obesity rates in France

Creator:: McGregor, Erin M.
Abstract:: A survey of a non-random sample of adults was conducted in Angers, France to investigate possible cultural changes in dietary behaviors that may contribute to increasing rates of obesity. Participants described contemporary habits regarding eating habits and activity level, as well as attitudes and opinions about obesity. The results largely...
