  • Percussive welding of metal-semiconductor contacts

    Creator:
    Heck, Lyle Daniel
    Abstract:
    Application of automatic production techniques to the fabrication of semiconductor devices has been somewhat limited by the requirements of conventional alloying techniques. These alloying techniques require an excessive amount of individual handling. This thesis investigates the feasibility of applying percussive welding to the fabrication of metal-semiconductor contacts, as a solution...

  • Evaluation of the torsion test for determining the shear strength of structural lumber

    Creator:
    Heck, Leanne Renee
    Abstract:
    The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

  • Effects of wildfire on growth and demographics of coastal cutthroat trout in headwater streams

    Creator:
    Heck, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Wildfire is a largely terrestrial perturbation broadly recognized as an agent of disturbance and ecological change in forested biomes. Effects of post-fire conditions on biotic components of aquatic systems have been less well-documented, although hypothetically, the two are strongly connected. In fact, the influence of wildfire may be most profound...

  • Gender and ethnic issues in parenting : a study of some determinants of parenting in American Indian and non-Indian families

    Creator:
    Kawamoto, Walter T.
    Abstract:
    An analysis was conducted to test current theories regarding education, income, and marital satisfaction as determinants of parenting in different ways for men and women. The gender specific issues in parenting to be tested were: 1) Education is positively related to parental involvement for both men and women. 2) Marital...

  • The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

    Creator:
    Kitagawa, Taichi
    Abstract:
    The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

  • Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

    Creator:
    Stone, Clara A.
    Abstract:
    The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...

  • Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

    Creator:
    Dinger, Melanie
    Abstract:
    Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...

  • Experiments on the Hydraulics and Swimming Responses of Juvenile Chinook Salmon Encountering a Floating Guidance Structure

    Creator:
    Swanson, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Floating guidance structures are intended to promote safe in-stream passage for juvenile salmon migrating downstream through reservoirs. However, the ability of an engineered structure to guide fish to safe passage has been primarily tested either after large-scale implementation in existing reservoirs or in laboratory studies and computer simulations without live...

  • An Observational Study of the Effects of Wildfire on Hermit and Varied Thrush Distribution in the Mt. Washington Wilderness Area

    Creator:
    Woodrich, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) and the varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius) are focal species for conservation of forested habitats in Oregon. Although habitat associations have been defined for both species, their response to changes in vegetation following wildfire has not been well studied. To help fill this information gap, I...

  • Boulder Transport by High Energy Surge

    Creator:
    Harry, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    Boulder transport models have been used to develop a historical record of hydrodynamic events. This is done by evaluating the size, location, and composition of boulders that have been removed from their region of formation. Boulder transport is difficult to predict, even under laboratory conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate...
