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...

Sperm depletion and sperm competition in the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: Kerns, Amelia R.
Abstract:: Sperm competition is the post-copulatory analog of male-male combat, wherein sperm from more than one male coincide in a female’s reproductive tract and compete with one another for fertilization of a limited number of ova. Post-copulatory sexual selection, such as sperm competition, can be a powerful driving force for the...

Perceptions of climate change in herbalism and harvesting

Creator:: Noall, Amelia
Abstract:: This study looked at the impacts of climate change on medicinal plants, and how these impacts are viewed and understood in the herbalism community. Two literature reviews were conducted, to look at each of these two ideas: the first was a review of peer-reviewed literature describing research on climate change...

Assessing variation in coyote (Canis latrans) diet across three sagebrush steppe sites with different levels of juniper encroachment

Creator:: Kendall, Zachary D.
Abstract:: Juniper (Juniperus spp.) encroachment into the sagebrush steppe ecoregion is one of the main causes of sagebrush degradation and can alter the understory vegetative community by outcompeting native shrubs and grasses, which reduces the available forage and cover for small mammals. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are generalist, omnivorous predators in the...

Response of Stream Macroinvertebrate Community to Canopy-opening Manipulations

Creator:: Mackaness, Cedar
Abstract:: Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...

Comparison of machine learning methods for predicting bird distributions

Creator:: Bikkina, Vinay
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to explore kernel machine learning methods for species distribution modeling. Previous studies have shown the success of Generalized Boosted Regression Models, however kernel methods have been unexplored for species distribution modeling. Using the eBird dataset, four machine learning methods were tested for accuracy and...

Exposure to the Mycotoxin Zearalenone Impairs Embryonic Development in Zebrafish

Creator:: Sidebotham, Nicole A.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...

Responsibility & attachment : the level of care a child has for their dog and the impact it has on the parent’s perception of the relationship

Creator:: Kuhlmann, Chloe
Abstract:: The aim of the study is to understand how a child’s responsibility of care for a family pet affects the attachment and relationship between the child and dog. Attachment has been defined as a bond between two individuals that promotes both proximity-seeking and independent activity (Udell and Brubaker, 2016). Responsibility...

Teaching fundamental computer science concepts utilizing manipulatives

Creator:: Berliner, Garrett
Abstract:: This thesis presents innovative pedagogical approaches to teach fundamental Computer Science (CS) concepts, such as abstraction, representation, algorithms, and computation utilizing manipulatives, which are physical objects that students interact with to teach or reinforce a concept. Teaching and learning with manipulatives has a long history in science and mathematics education,...

Nonmedical prescription stimulant use: exploring student perceptions and university response

Creator:: Foss, Austyn
Abstract:: This thesis explores trends and perceptions surrounding nonmedical use of prescription stimulants by university students throughout the United States. Furthermore, this study evaluated how universities in Oregon have responded to increased rates of nonmedical prescription stimulant use on campuses across the country. The following research questions are addressed: 1) What...
