  • Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

    Creator:
    Bauer, Jeremy J.
    Abstract:
    While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

  • Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

    Creator:
    Hessing-Lewis, Margot
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

  • The Book of Mormon Topic Structure, Keyness Distinctions, and Collocates of Deity: Implications for Mental Health Professionals

    Creator:
    Callister, Paul T.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the spiritual worldview of clients is a core element of multicultural competency for mental health professionals. One spiritual and religious population is members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and related Latter-day Saint populations. The Book of Mormon is an important sacred text of this population....

  • Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

    Creator:
    Magel, Caitlin L.
    Abstract:
    Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

  • Unoccupied aircraft systems in forest monitoring applications

    Creator:
    Barker, Matthew I.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) have become increasingly affordable and straightforward to incorporate in monitoring applications of forested ecosystems. This shift has facilitated interest in using these tools to monitor aspects of forest ecosystems including vegetation health, forest structure and composition, and potential habitat provided by these systems....

  • The physiological effect of posture on cycling

    Creator:
    al-Haboubi, Muhammad
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to investigate the physiological effects of body posture on cycling. The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...

  • The Viability of Container-Based Sanitation as a Tool for Sanitation Coverage in Urban Haiti

    Creator:
    VanRiper, Froggi Ramona
    Abstract:
    Haiti is far from achieving the UN goal of sanitation access for all; 20% Haitians have no sanitation access, and less than 0.1% of urban excreta is safely managed. Container-Based Sanitation (CBS) may be a key tool for achieving equitable sanitation coverage in Haiti’s cities. CBS is a sanitation strategy...

  • Secondary Metabolism in Tolypocladium : Characterization, Ecology, Evolution and Regulation

    Creator:
    Blount, Rheannon Rua
    Abstract:
    An increased understanding of secondary metabolism in fungi is important for both biological and societal reasons. The ascomycete genus, Tolypocladium, is an ideal system to explore secondary metabolism characterization, ecology, evolution and regulation. The genus produces and has the genomic potential to produce a wide array of metabolites. Paired with...

  • Scaling of Hyporheic Exchange Processes and Finding the Intermediate Sweet Spot

    Creator:
    Becker, Paige Sheridan
    Abstract:
    Hyporheic zones are important regions that reside below and along the sides of streams. Within this region, several ecosystem services are provided including stream temperature regulation, habitats for a large variety of species, pollutant removal, and nutrient cycling. Exchange between the hyporheic zone and stream occurs across multiple scales, but...

  • Comprehensive Analysis of The Brain Metabolome Using Mass Spectrometry in Conjunction with Data Analysis Techniques

    Creator:
    Khorani, Mona
    Abstract:
    Metabolomics has recently gained momentum in biomolecule research and complements the genomics and proteomics research space. Metabolomics strives to detect, identify, and quantify all metabolites present in biological samples. In particular, biomolecular analysis using ultra-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) has become increasingly important for metabolomic analyses. Similarly,...
