Astragalus peckii Population Establishment : Developing Protocols for Seed Germination, Seedling Cultivation, and Planting

Creator:: Pearson, Tabitha
Abstract:: Astragalus peckii Piper is a threatened Oregon endemic in the pea family (Fabaceae). This species faces extinction due to loss of habitat. Recovery efforts include augmenting existing populations and creating new ones. The purpose of this study was to determine the best methodology for population augmentation of Astragalus peckii by...

The sexualization of women in modern film trailers

Creator:: Loiselle, Sierra
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...

Examining the Association of Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Sheely, Hannah J.
Abstract:: Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is recommended for all individuals because of the benefits it provides to physical health, mental health, and overall quality of life (QoL). It is also recommended for children with developmental disabilities (DDs), which make up about 15% of all U.S. children ages 3-17 years. Previous studies...

The effects of preconception dietary restriction on subsequent birth outcomes

Creator:: Rollins, Alyssa
Abstract:: Objective: This study used the Oregon Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) to explore the relationship between preconception dietary restriction and subsequent birth outcomes in an attempt to quantify their association. Methods: The survey question of interest focused on changing diet to lose weight during preconception. Descriptive statistics were calculated...

The Relationship Between Percent Body Fat and Fat Metabolism During Moderate Exercise

Creator:: Osako, Minori
Abstract:: It has previously been shown that the proportion of fat metabolized during aerobic exercise is higher in trained subjects, and there is conflicting evidence as to whether or not gender or age influence fat utilization during exercise. PURPOSE: The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether body composition...

Light Backscatter: Shedding New Light on Milk Coagulation

Creator:: Miller, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Milk collected from individual cows (n= 31) was centrifuged to equalize fat composition and was tested during chymosin-induced coagulation to compare the influences of somatic cell level, breed, parity, protein composition, and lactation stage on coagulation rate. Coagulation rate was determined using diffuse reflectance. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for...

The Motor and Social Communicative Skills in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Creator:: Khader, Ayesha
Abstract:: Interventions for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus on core impairments in social communication skills, yet studies have shown a relationship between social and motor skill deficits in children with ASD. The purpose of this study is to further examine individual levels of gross and fine motor skills...

Relationship between rate of torque development and contractile impulse in three muscle groups

Creator:: Wright, Jaime M.
Abstract:: Background: The capability of an individual to produce force rapidly is important for performance of sporting activities and to stabilize a joint to protect against injury. Rate of torque development (RTD) and contractile impulse (CI) may be more effective than peak torque in assessing rapid torque production. The relationship between...

Influence of Body Mass Index on Single Leg Stance Time and Hip Abduction Angle in Community-Dwelling Older Adults During a Hip Abduction Exercise

Creator:: Hu, Yulin
Abstract:: Aging and excessive weight appear to be problematic to lateral balance related to falls. Strong frontal plane hip muscle strength is needed to stabilize the hip statically during single leg stance or dynamically during lateral stepping; however, the length of single leg stance time and maximum hip abduction angle during...

Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

Creator:: Hisanaga, Trevor H.
Abstract:: The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...
