  • The Pursuit of Hoppiness : Propelling Hop into the Genomic Era

    Creator:
    Hill, Steven T.
    Abstract:
    Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var lupulus) is a plant of great cultural significance, used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years, and for flavor and as a preservative in brewing beer. Studies of the medicinal effects of the unique compounds produced by hop have led to interest from the...

  • Analytical Meditation on Motivation to Meditate

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Meditation research in recent decades has disproportionately focused on the Buddhist derived practice of “mindfulness” meditation while leaving most other Buddhist meditation practices unstudied. The current study seeks to remedy this homogeneity through the adaptation of a novel meditation practice used in Tibetan Buddhism to affect motivation. We explored traditional...

  • Best Practices for Work Zone Safety during Traffic Control Placement, Removal, and Modification

    Creator:
    Moeung, Serey Raksa
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that traveling in a work zone involves a higher risk of crashing compared to normal (non-work zone) driving conditions. Research further suggests that the severity of work zone crashes is greater on average than non-work zone crashes. The period of time in which the traffic control...

  • Interaction between Lean Construction and Construction Industrialization

    Creator:
    Dai, Qichang
    Abstract:
    Lean construction and construction industrialization have been the focus of the construction industry in recent decades. Lean construction has been shown to reduce waste and uncertainty, and construction industrialization has a positive effect on improving efficiency and safety. Research on lean construction shows that lean construction practices are recognized by...

  • Evaluating Worker Performance Using the Energy Concept

    Creator:
    Alotaibi, Abdulaziz M.
    Abstract:
    Over the decades, worker performance on construction projects has been a significant source of concern to be evaluated. Comprehensive studies have developed models for evaluating worker performance outside of the construction industry; however, minimal research has been conducted to evaluate worker performance in the construction industry. One of the reasons...

  • Decision-making Tool to Select Construction Contractors Based on Safety Performance

    Creator:
    Al-Saffar, Ola T.
    Abstract:
    The safety of workers in the construction industry is a big concern because of the high number of fatalities and injuries that occur in the industry. Selecting contractors based on safety performance can improve safety and reduce the risks of injuries. However, owners commonly choose contractors based on competitive bidding...

  • Framework for assessing the potential safety performance of construction mechanical and electrical field employees

    Creator:
    Moghaddam Vahed, Ali
    Abstract:
    In the field of construction safety, many researchers have worked to create assessment tools. These tools focus on different aspects of construction safety, such as assessing safety climate, safety culture, etc. Although research indicates that the majority of incidents are caused by unsafe behaviors and acts, there are no comprehensive...

  • A selective medium for isolation of Bacteriodes nodosus

    Creator:
    Gradin, Joseph Lloyd
    Abstract:
    The sensitivity of Bacteroides nodosus, causative agent of sheep foot rot, to 24 selected antimicrobial agents was tested. Many contaminants ordinarily associated with foot rot lesions were sensitive to lincomycin while B nodosus demonstrated resistance to this antibiotic. A concentration of 1.08 μg of lincomycin/ml of basal medium optimally inhibited...

  • Influence of heat exchange on foraging behavior of Zonotrichia spp.

    Creator:
    DeWoskin, Rob
    Abstract:
    The heat exchange of individuals in a foraging mixed population of Zonotrichia leucophrys and Zonotrichia atricapilla in western Oregon is analyzed with respect to the direction of stance and feeding location. Values for heat gain or loss in the field were generated from a model that estimates the equivalent black-body...
