The Influence of Traditional Shoes, Minimal Shoes and Barefoot on Ankle Kinematics in Youth During Running

Creator:: Hartman, Hunter
Abstract:: Introduction: Research has demonstrated that minimal shoes may help prevent ankle injuries by mimicking natural barefoot running. It has been proven that minimal shoes may help adults prevent injuries in the correct conditions, but little is known about the effect of minimal and barefoot running on youth kinematics. Purpose: To...

Biomechanical limb asymmetries exist during a 45° sidestep cut among male and female recreational athletes post anterior cruciate ligament construction.

Creator:: Kaiyala, Montana E.
Abstract:: Background: 250,000+ individuals injure an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the United States annually. Individuals post-ACL surgical reconstruction (ACLR) are at elevated risk for ACL re-injury, potentially from kinematic and kinetic asymmetries. While studies have examined asymmetries at the hip and knee post-ACLR during landing, less is known about asymmetries...

An Exploration on How Institutional Practices and Support Systems Support or Hinder Community College Basic Skills Students Transitioning to Postsecondary Education: A Case Study

Creator:: Knighton, Christine M.
Abstract:: Many jobs in the United States have shifted to requiring education beyond high school credentials. Many potential workers are enrolled in pre-postsecondary education, or basic skills. A small percentage of students transition from basic skills to postsecondary education. Research identifies key institutional practices and supports have shown to increase transitions,...

The Horizon Measure: A New Look at Curvature

Creator:: Mills, Arthur M.
Abstract:: An important problem in computer graphics is to determine where contour lines and ridges appear in a surface constructed from a triangle mesh. In this presentation we will investigate a new answer to this problem – the horizon measure. The horizon measure determines the likelihood of contour lines to appear...

The Influence of Heel Drop on Running Biomechanics in Female Runners

Creator:: Ter Har, Justin A.
Abstract:: Background: Low drop cushioned running shoes have been popular over the past decade despite a lack of research on low drop shoes. There is some evidence that low drop cushioned shoes increase vertical ground reaction forces (VGRFs) and influence ankle kinematics but no study to date has focused on large...

Instability of Mapper Type Algorithms for Topological Data Analysis

Creator:: Wentland, Danial
Abstract:: Mapper is a tool designed by Gurjeet Singh, Facundo Mémoli, and Gunnar Carlsson for Topological Data Analysis (TDA) that constructs a simplicial complex from a finite subset of a metric space, which has been met with great success. Due to the many moving parts of Mapper and the potential it...

Implications for Wildfire Health Recommendations and Remediation Strategies: Source, Fate and Risk of PAHs

Creator:: Ghetu, Christine, C.
Abstract:: (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) PAHs are widespread in the environment, and are derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The physicochemical properties of PAHs along with the wide range of PAH sources leads to their persistence in the environment. Since PAHs are ubiquitous, and have the potential to illicit adverse effects,...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Region-Specific Investigation of the Cone Penetration Test for Preliminary Classification and Estimation of Preconsolidation Stress, Undrained Shear Strength, and Cyclic Resistance of Transitional Silts

Creator:: Ortiz, Susan Christine
Abstract:: The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) has been widely-adopted for rapid, cost-effective exploration of the subsurface and reduction in the effort associated with drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing of soil. The adoption of the CPT has stemmed in part to the correlation of measurements to preliminary soil classification, stress history, drained...

Nitrate derived from Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (NOWTS): A Study of Public Perceptions, Politics, and Perpetual Permitting in the Western US

Creator:: Demaree, David E.
Abstract:: Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS; septic systems, compost toilets, etc.) used to treat wastewater in rural areas have the potential to contaminate groundwater (that is used as a water source) with nitrate. There have been decades of scientific and political conflicts concerning the issue of nitrate from OWTS (NOWTS, pronounced...

New Strategies to Develop Hidden Markov Models Combining KEGG and Pfam

Creator:: Gupta, Sonica
Abstract:: Profile Hidden Markov Models utilize the information stored in a multiple sequence alignment such as its residues and conserved regions to assign probabilities at each column. This indicates areas in the sequences where similar functionality is observed. These probability weights are then combined to assign a sequence score, which is...

Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

Creator:: McKinney, Madison J.
Abstract:: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:: Germano, Francesca
Abstract:: Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

Metabolic Analysis of Bovine Nucleus Pulposus Cells with Constant and Variable Glucose Supply

Creator:: Rosene, Rees Alan
Abstract:: There is no standardized method for culture of intervertebral disc (IVD) cells when monitoring metabolic processes. We hypothesize that the metabolic rates of cells that are crucial to experiment designs depend on the cell culture method used. The glycolytic pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are the pathways through...
