Visualization in environmental science

Creator:: Winters, Kirsten M.
Abstract:: The VISualization of Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems (VISTAS) software development project began with the proposition that visualization would increase the ability of scientists to explore and communicate their data, especially complex datasets that span multiple spatial and temporal scales. A case study of VISTAS articulates how and why scientists intend...

Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

Creator:: McNamara, Adrienne J.
Abstract:: Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

An investigation of the measurement of individual risk attitudes

Creator:: Winter, John R.
Abstract:: Two direct elicitation of utility (D.E.U.) techniques were used to estimate risk attitudes of a group of agricultural producers. The two elicitation techniques used in the study were 1) an error-in-response model using a modified Ramsey method, and 2) stochastic dominance with respect to a function (SDF). The primary objective...

Oogenesis in Mytilus californianus

Creator:: Elvin, David Winter
Abstract:: A two-year field study was made of a population of the California Sea Mussel, Mytilus californianus, located on a protected tidal bench at Yaquina Head on the Central Oregon Coast. This animal was chosen because it is attached to the rocks, filters particulate matter from the water, produces large amounts...

The effects of impact plus resistance training on the musculoskeletal system in premenopausal women

Creator:: Winters, Kerri M.
Abstract:: Low bone mineral density (BMD) and poor stability both contribute to increased risk of fractures associated with a fall. The aim of this dissertation was two-fold. The first study, a cross-sectional analysis, sought to determine the anthropometric and/or performance variables that best predicted BMD and postural stability in mature, premenopausal...

Studies on the human umbilical cord

Creator:: Winters, Ronald Howard
Abstract:: Studies were initially conducted to determine the action of intravenous serotonin on perfused segments of human umbilical cords in vitro. Intravenous serotonin, via bolus injection or continuous infusion, was found to elevate venous perfusion pressure, while intra-arterial serotonin failed to alter venous pressure. Norepinephrine, administered to the venous perfusate, was...

Theoretical predictors of successfully transitioning from supervised to home-based (unsupervised) exercise programs among elderly women with breast cancer

Creator:: Loprinzi, Paul D.
Abstract:: Supervised exercise interventions can elicit numerous positive health outcomes in breast cancer survivors. However, to maintain these benefits, exercise needs to continue long after the supervised program. This may be difficult, as in this transitional period (i.e., time period immediately following a supervised exercise program), breast cancer survivors are in...

Production of haploid plants in selected winter wheat genotypes through anther culture and intergeneric crosses with maize

Creator:: Mendoza, Maria Graciela
Abstract:: A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

Possible associations of soluble carbohydrates with chemical desiccation and drought resistance in winter wheat

Creator:: Cerono, Julio Cesar
Abstract:: Drought is a major limiting abiotic stress influencing wheat production in many parts of the world. The erratic nature of water deficits makes breeding and selection for drought resistance deficient. In environments with late season drought stress, yield losses are usually associated with kernel abortion or reduction in kernel growth....
