A 60 Second Exposure of Whole Body Vibration has no Effect on Muscular Strength or Vertical Jump Height.

Creator:: Welch, John D.
Abstract:: For more than 30 years, researchers have investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) platforms on athletic performance. WBV is a modality in which an individual stands on a vibrating platform to obtain performance effects. Frequency and amplitude of the vibration are the commonly adjusted parameters. The use of...

Removal of E. coli with alternative media Biosand filters

Creator:: Fulton, Nathan J.
Abstract:: When Biosand filters cannot be constructed with crushed quarry rock due to resource limitations, a suitable alternative filter media is needed. In this research, two crushed quarry rock alternatives were examined. Three bench-scale Biosand filters with crushed rock, beach sand, and heat-treated beach sand media were simultaneously dosed with Willamette...

Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Applying the McDonaldization thesis and norm activation model to examine trends and effects of commercial outdoor recreation and tourism in Juneau, Alaska

Creator:: Janson, Sera
Abstract:: As recreation and tourism visitation increases and government budgets decrease, public land management agencies are using private commercial operators as an alternative source of offering products and services. Changes and trends in commercial outdoor recreation and tourism such as a large scale increase in the number of visitors can affect...

Constraints to urban park visitation : Conceptual connections and spatial attributes for traditionally well-served and underserved residents

Creator:: Rushing, Jaclyn R.
Abstract:: Connecting with nature is associated with social, physical, and emotional benefits such as stress relief, improved physical health, and lower crime. Parks and other natural areas offer spaces in which to connect with nature and reap these and other benefits (e.g., family bonding, social events, learning). Despite increasing populations of...

Perceptions of protection : coastal resident cognitions concerning new marine reserves in Oregon

Creator:: Perry, Elizabeth E.
Abstract:: Protected area creation, including creation of marine reserves (MRs), is increasingly molded by ecosystem based management (EBM) that integrates biological and social information in the pre and post establishment phases. Collecting social data from large and representative samples of the public (as opposed to other stakeholder groups) before establishing a...

Encounters, norms, crowding, management, and behavioral responses of visitors at coastal state parks in Oregon

Creator:: Mouw, Wesley J.
Abstract:: With the baby boomer cohort retiring and arguably having more time for outdoor recreation, coupled with population increases and government agencies encouraging people to recreate outdoors, areas such as state and national parks will likely continue seeing high visitation. It is imperative, therefore, for outdoor recreation managers and researchers to...

Voluntary environmental programs at an alpine ski area: influence of recreationists' knowledge, motivations, attachment, value orientations, and specialization

Creator:: Little, Christopher M.
Abstract:: Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have been created to encourage companies to engage in behaviors that mitigate environmental impacts (e.g., recycling, emissions reduction). Many ski areas participate in the Sustainable Slopes Program, an initiative that promotes VEPs in the ski area industry. Past research has addressed the performance of VEPs in...

Wild Waters : Perspectives on Oregon’s Marine Reserves as Marine Wilderness Areas

Creator:: Johnston, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: Designation of areas as marine wilderness has been proposed as a strategy for managing the increasing threats facing the world’s oceans. Although social factors influence marine protected area success, the human dimensions of marine wilderness remain minimally explored. This thesis examines views of marine wilderness expressed by a representative sample...

Electrofishing mark-recapture and depletion methodologies evoke behavioral and physiological changes in cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki)

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: We examined the behavioral and physiological responses of wild and hatchery-reared cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki subjected to a single electroshock, electroshock plus marking, and multiple electroshocking in natural and artificial streams. In a natural stream, trout released after capture by electrofishing and marking showed distinct behavioral changes: fish immediately sought...

A stereochemically controlled approach to the morphine alkaloids: racemization of 8,9-benzo-4,5-dihydro-6,7-pyrido[4,3-d] oxanin-3(2H)-ones

Creator:: Runyan, Mark T.
Abstract:: A method for the control of absolute stereochemistry in morphine syntheses has been demonstrated by the resolution and efficient racemization of the advanced morphine precursor , 9-methoxy-3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-3H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline- 7(7aH)-one, I. This was accomplished by the facile coversion of optically resolved I to its ring opened form, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-10-methoxy-3-methyl-7-oxo[1]benzoxonino[ 6,7-c]pyridinium tosylate, II, (Equation...

Experimental design of physical aquifer models for evaluation of groundwater remediation strategies

Creator:: Humphrey, Mark D.
Abstract:: Groundwater resources have become seriously threatened due to improper use by industrial, municipal, and even public sectors. Widespread contamination of aquifer systems has jeopardized human health and the environment and methods for restoring these systems are needed. Biological and chemical in situ remediation, where contaminants are degraded within the natural...

The effect of feeding tallow, urea and protected tallow on in vivo nutrient digestion in sheep

Creator:: Aseltine, Mark Stephen
Abstract:: Five sheep digestion trials with four animals per treatment and three treatments per trial were conducted to determine if feeding protected tallow and/or protein would alter the deleterious effects of feeding urea and tallow together. Apparent digestibility coefficients, nitrogen retention and biological values were calculated. An additional trial was also...

Part I : development and application of an arsenic speciation technique using ion-exchange solid phase extraction coupled with GFAAS ; Part II : investigation of zinc amalgam as a reductant

Creator:: Bos, Mark C.
Abstract:: Two related techniques, based upon ion-exchange solid phase extraction, have been developed for the determination of arsenic speciation. The inorganic arsenic species arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) are separated by anion-exchange and detected with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) with a nickel matrix modifier. The first separation technique, which...
