Long-term Fuel Succession in the Sagebrush-steppe

Creator:: Reis, Schyler Ainsworth
Abstract:: Historically fire has been the primary disturbance factor in the sagebrush-steppe. The settlement of the West by Euro-Americans, grazing by domestic livestock, and the concomitant spread of invasive species have altered the historical fire regime. Understanding the long-term vegetation structure and fuel succession of the various sagebrush-dominated communities of this...

Ecosystem Analysis of Wetland and Riparian Zone restoration at the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge over Twenty Years

Creator:: Reis, Schyler Ainsworth
Abstract:: Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (HMNAR) established in 1936, is 101,000 ha in area. The refuge was grazed by domestic livestock from the 1870s until their exclusion in 1990. Just prior to removal of livestock, photopoints were taken at various riparian and wetland locations throughout the refuge to document riparian...

Restoration of Riparian Areas Following the Removal of Cattle in the Northwestern Great Basin

Creator:: Batchelor, Jonathan L., Ripple, William J., Wilson, Todd M., and Painter, Luke E.
Abstract:: We assessed the effects of the elimination of livestock in riparian systems at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in southeastern Oregon, 23 years after the removal of cattle grazing, using 64 photos taken before grazing was removed compared with later retake photos. Two methods were used for this assessment: (1)...

Assessing the accuracy of common methods used in measuring physical activity with pedometers

Creator:: Elliott, Caitlyn A.
Abstract:: Monitoring physical activity has been a dominant topic of research for many years. Being physically active has been shown to decrease health related issues, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even premature death. Multiple researchers have studied monitoring physical activity, but the actual method of measuring physical activity in a free-living...

Community Readiness for Adopting a Physical Activity Program for People With Arthritis in West Virginia

Creator:: Jones, Dina L., Settipalli, Srilakshmi, Goodman, Jeanne M., Hootman, Jennifer M., and Goins, R. Turner
Abstract:: Introduction: The health benefits of physical activity are well established in older adults with arthritis. Despite these benefits, many older adults with arthritis are not active enough to maintain health; therefore, increasing physical activity in adults with arthritis is a public health priority. The purpose of this study was to...

Abstract:: There is a knowledge gap concerning the outcomes of early adolescent sexual initiation (ASI). In particular, the influence of early ASI upon adult attachment is unknown. A multiple regression study was conducted to address this knowledge gap. Adult partner/spouse attachment was the criterion variable, and the predictor variables included both...

Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

Creator:: Lee, Hyo
Abstract:: Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

The Phenomenological Experience of Shame in the Context of Physical Activity

Creator:: Rogers, Kim A.
Abstract:: Not all experiences in physical activity, exercise, and sport are positive. Losing, getting injured, making a mistake, and not measuring up can all elicit a variety of highly negative emotions, including shame. To make matters worse, individuals often cope with shame in maladaptive ways––magnifying, suppressing, or ignoring the experience––which can...

Quantification of Ecological Change Using Repeat Photography and Ground Based Lidar

Creator:: Batchelor, Jonathan L.
Abstract:: Remote sensing techniques have long been useful in quantifying changes in ecosystems and the field of remote sensing is constantly evolving to better assess and describe changes, both spatially and temporally. In this thesis I explored the novel use of two remote sensing methods to quantify ecosystems; repeat photograph to...

Increasing physical activity in adults : identifying mechanisms of goal-setting theory

Creator:: Moon, Dal-Hyun
Abstract:: Walking is the most popular type of physical activity among the adult population in the United States including individuals with disabilities. Considering the popularity of the activity, walking-related physical activity should be a focus of health promotion campaigns among the adult population. Rhodes and Nigg (2011) suggested that employing theory-based...
