  • Evaluation of body composition assessments for a high school wrestling weight certification program

    Creator:
    Oja, Kristen M.
    Abstract:
    Background: The Oregon Wrestling Weight Monitoring Program establishes the athlete’s minimum wrestling weight (MW) for the season. This program specifies the wrestler’s maximum weight loss rate and was implemented in order to reduce unhealthy weight-cutting behaviors commonly practiced by wrestlers. Aims: (1) To compare differences in percent body fat (%BF)...

  • Phylogeny of the "Chaoboriform" genera

    Creator:
    Ogawa, Joshua R.
    Abstract:
    The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a relatively small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera. Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of their tolerance to toxicants, predatory avoidance strategies, and the role chaoborids play in zooplankton community dynamics. Relative to mosquitoes, systematists have...

  • Low voltage techniques for pipelined analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Carnes, Joshua Kenneth
    Abstract:
    To realize pipelined ADCs in deep-submicron processes, low voltage techniques must be developed to work around problems created by limited supply voltages such as the floating switch dead zone, reduced SNR, and reduced OpAmp performance. This thesis analyzes standard and low voltage design issues for pipelined ADCs and proposes a...

  • Evidence of a trophic cascade among wolves, elk, and aspen in Yellowstone National Park, USA

    Creator:
    Halofsky, Joshua S.
    Abstract:
    According to general top-down trophic theory, in the presence of carnivores, herbivore behavior and/or densities could change and result in an overall decrease in herbivory on plant communities. In this dissertation, I examined the potential relationship between gray wolf (Canis lupus) presence and absence on elk (Cervus elaphus) herbivory of...

  • Automating aquatic insect identification through pattern recognition

    Creator:
    Thomas, Joshua K.
    Abstract:
    Aquatic insect population counts can be a good indicator of the health, or water quality, of rivers and streams. Stoneflies (Plecoptera) are particularly susceptible to pollution in streams. However, today’s current method for obtaining these population counts requires biologists to examine individual specimens under a microscope for identification to the...

  • The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

    Creator:
    Swanner, Leandra
    Abstract:
    This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

  • Effect of the calpain inhibitor E-64-d on the degradation of α-fodrin in damaged muscle

    Creator:
    Boyd, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    We hypothesized that calpain activity is elevated in response to muscle damage. To test this hypothesis, we examined the degradation of α-fodrin into its 150 and 145 kDa fragments following either 20 eccentric or isometric contractions. In addition, experiments were performed in the presence or absence of E-64-d, a calpain...

  • Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

    Creator:
    Joubert, Lanae Marie
    Abstract:
    Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

  • Initiating health and nutrition programs in rural Oregon using community based participatory research

    Creator:
    McCulley, Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to explore health and nutrition concerns and priorities of parents and caregivers of children enrolled in Kids and Company (KidCo) Head Start using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The project examined the feasibility of conducting CBPR with Head Start in the relatively short timeframe...
