Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

Creator:: Kiff, Adam B.
Abstract:: Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

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...

The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

Creator:: Asplund, Christopher
Abstract:: Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...

Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

Creator:: Attridge, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

Systematic review of residual toxicity studies of pesticides to bees and comparison to language on pesticide labels using data from residual toxicity studies and USEPA published values

Creator:: Swanson, Leah
Abstract:: BACKGROUND. Residues of pesticides on crops can result in mortality to foraging bees. The likelihood of mortality can be mitigated by applying pesticides in the evening so that their residues dissipate by the following morning when bees resume foraging. The dissipation rates of different pesticides, or their residual toxicity, is...

Identification of potential new biomarkers of oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (OPAH) exposures in zebrafish.

Creator:: Swanson, Annika J.
Abstract:: Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are a class of environmentally prevalent compounds with little known information on their effect in vivo. In a recent study conducted using zebrafish as a model, 38 OPAHs were screened for toxicity. This investigation focuses on two of these OPAHs, 7,12-B[a]AQ and BEZO. Both 7,12-B[a]AQ...

Becoming an Empathetic Physician: A Look at Why Empathy Changes Throughout Medical Education

Creator:: Swanson, Emily A.
Abstract:: Though empathy has proven to be a vital component of the physician-patient relationship, recent studies have shown that medical students tend to lose empathy during their third year of medical school as they start interacting with patients for the first time. The main objective of this project was to find...

Radioactive Isotope Matching for an Embedded System

Creator:: Wagner, Samuel T.
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to create a lightweight radioactive isotope identification program for an embedded system using the C programming language to perform isotope matching on a subset of isotopes. First, the physics behind radioactive spectra and their key features are explained. Next, the characteristics of the spectra...

Student Motivation, Introductory Calculus Based Physics (PH 211) and Project Based Learning, Oh My!

Creator:: Settelmeyer, Samuel T.
Abstract:: Using research on student motivation as well as Project-Based Learning as a theoretical framework, this thesis outlines the creation process for a set of curricula. These curricula were designed to address topics of markedly low student motivation in the first term of an introductory physics with calculus course (PH 211)...

Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...
