Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

Creator:: Wile, Dylan
Abstract:: Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

A Comparative Analysis of U.S. News Media Coverage on Masks between the 1918 Influenza and COVID-19 Pandemics

Creator:: Nguyen, Mindy
Abstract:: Over 100 years separate the 1918 Influenza and COVID-19 pandemics, and a multitude of science, public health and communication advancements have emerged. With the COVID-19 pandemic still underway, recently reaching the one million death mark in the United States alone (CDC, 2020), researchers are searching for clues as to how...

An Analysis of U.S. News Media Coverage of E-Cigarettes: Does a Youth Epidemic Make a Difference?

Creator:: Winett, Julia R.
Abstract:: Rates of electronic cigarettes (or “e-cigarettes”) use among youth are so high that the Surgeon General declared them to be of “epidemic proportions” (A Report of the Surgeon General, 2012). If these rates go unchanged, e-cigarettes will likely be responsible for the creation of a new generation of combustible cigarette...

Characterization of soil carbon and nitrogen pools following a decade of detritus manipulation in a temperate coniferous forest

Creator:: Wilson, Lea I.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the result of the balance between decomposition and incorporation of detritus from both above and below ground sources into the soil. It composes only a fraction of the soil by mass but it is one of the most critical components. The Detritus Input and Removal...

Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

Creator:: Khalife, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...

Epidemiology of Rib Stress Injuries in Division I Rowers

Creator:: Neville, AnnaRuth E.
Abstract:: While rib stress injuries (RSI) may be common and documented at an elite or international level in rowing, there is limited information at the collegiate level. Specifically, identifying occurrence and differentiating acute from overuse onset, stratifying by time-lost (time-loss or non-time-loss) may provide sports medicine clinicians, rowers, and coaches a...

Active Control of Passive Dynamics for Ground Disturbance Rejection

Creator:: Koepl, Devin N.
Abstract:: We present a model for running that combines active control with passive dynamics, in an attempt to approach the economy and robustness of animal running. Our work is inspired by examples of guinea fowl encountering an unexpected drop in ground surface, with little a ect on their running gait. Previous...

Polymorphic Membrane Protein-13G Expression Variation Demonstrated between Chlamydia abortus Culture Conditions and Strains

Creator:: Khan, Emaan M.
Abstract:: Chlamydiae encode a family of proteins named the polymorphic membrane proteins, or Pmps, whose role in infection and pathogenesis is unclear. The Rockey Laboratory is studying polymorphic membrane protein expression in Chlamydia abortus, a zoonotic pathogen that causes abortions in ewes. C. abortus contains 18 pmp genes, some of which...

HIV and the Transmasculine Community – Can Statistical Significance Be Harmful?

Creator:: Harger, Stephen A.
Abstract:: Epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS seeks to determine at-risk populations not reached by current care. In the forty years since the AIDS epidemic began, transgender people were only recently deemed “at-risk” by the CDC and more action was taken to study them. Most current research centers on transgender women, with transgender...
