  • The 10.0 Guide to Reducing the Risk of Lower-Extremity Injuries Among Female NCAA Gymnasts

    Creator:
    Dagen, Lacy M.
    Abstract:
    An Injury Prevention Program Designed to Reduce the Risk of Lower-Extremity Injuries within Women's NCAA Gymnastics Teams. Grounded in a behavior change perspective using an integrated theory model that combines the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior, the culmination of this project is a lower-extremity injury prevention...

  • Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

    Creator:
    Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
    Abstract:
    Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

  • Soil Development and Organic Carbon Stocks Across a Lithosequence in the Perhumid Coastal Temperate Rainforests of Southeast Alaska

    Creator:
    Fedenko, Jennifer M.
    Abstract:
    The perhumid coastal temperate rainforests of southeast Alaska contain an abundance of soil organic carbon (SOC) that has accumulated in a wet, cool climate where forest fire disturbance is minimal and organic matter decomposition rates are low. Coastal temperate rainforests are supported by carbon-rich soils that provide ecosystem services including...

  • Cooperative Collision Avoidance on Small-sized Quadcopters With Indoor Loco Positioning System

    Creator:
    Avadhanula, Ritika
    Abstract:
    Disaster response and surveillance operations will increasingly incorporate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s due to their cost-effectiveness and maneuverability. This trend has driven the research on small-sized quadcopters for varying indoor applications. Small-sized quadcopters' payload and computational capacity limit the usage of complex vision-based collision avoidance algorithms that are employed by...

  • Structure and Actuation of Cephalopod-Inspired Soft Robots

    Creator:
    Olson, Gina M.
    Abstract:
    Cephalopod-inspired soft robot arms have been studied as a new type of manipulator. These arms have been proposed for reach and grab tasks, underwater locomotion via swimming and walking, and robotic surgery. However, the capabilities of existing soft arms are limited to simple motions and light loads. Arm design has...

  • On the Manifestation of Deformation and Evolution of Two Cenozoic Orogens

    Creator:
    Lamont, Ellen A.
    Abstract:
    The word orogenesis is derived from the Greek words oros meaning mountains and genesis meaning creation and refers to the study of the complex processes involved in the growth and evolution of mountain ranges (orogens). Orogens develop where crustal deformation builds topography and forms landscapes. This dissertation explores the role...

  • Virtual Liberatory Women of Color Mentorship

    Creator:
    McAloney, Kimberly A.
    Abstract:
    Higher education literature lacks frameworks and models that consider women of color mentoring and fewer that discuss virtual mentorship among women of color. This work examined a successful and productive virtual mentorship and explored the key features of the mentorship, how the mentorship was maintained virtually, and the benefits and...

  • A Study of Vegetation Change Over Time in the Salt Marshes of the Salmon River Estuary, Oregon

    Creator:
    Schrank, Keaton A.
    Abstract:
    The salt marshes of the Salmon River Estuary, Oregon have been of interest for decades due to their disturbance and restoration history, as well as the presence of long-term vegetation transects that were established as early as the 1970s. Vegetation abundance data have been gathered in the four sites of...

  • The Influence of Wildfire and Invasive Vegetation on Mule Deer

    Creator:
    Schuyler, Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The western United States has experienced large-scale degradation due to land use and land cover changes, invasion of annual grasses, and expansion of woody plants into grass and shrublands and the resultant altered fire regimes. These landscape-scale changes have coincided with declining mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations, making habitat loss...

    Creator:
    Larasatie, Pipiet
    Abstract:
    Generally presented as a preferred social norm based on both ethical considerations and legislative demands, gender equality has been highly encouraged in recent years. For instance, The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 call out achieving gender equality and empowerment of women. However, although there are multiple efforts to...
