  • Developing a Qualitative Assessment Instrument to Measure Conceptualization of Oppression and Privilege

    Creator:
    Johnson, Rachel M.
    Abstract:
    An understanding of oppression and privilege would improve engineering climates and encourage individuals with marginalized identities to stay engaged in engineering spaces. Currently there are quantitative tools to assess cultural competencies, but none that measure understandings of power relationships. This project aims to create a qualitative assessment instrument to measure...

  • Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

    Creator:
    Bernert, Ann
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

  • A comparison of three certification systems with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest plan revision

    Creator:
    Starker, Anna
    Abstract:
    This study compares the requirements of three forest certification systems, the Sustainable Forestry Institute (SFI), the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest Plan Revision. The analysis was done with a series of matrices comparing the requirements of SFI and FSC...

  • Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

    Creator:
    Kiff, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

  • Innovative Rear Wing Design Research for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Lukacovic, Kyle S.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project is to research an innovative rear wing design for Formula SAE and determine if the concept could be beneficial for automotive racing purposes. The research consists of three steps. First, sensitivity analyses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were performed on multiple configurations. Next an...

  • The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

    Creator:
    Asplund, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...

  • Characterization of Fer1L6 lipid binding properties and its expression in cell cycle

    Creator:
    Chau, Trisha J.
    Abstract:
    Ferlins are a family of calcium-sensitive proteins involved in fusion and fission membrane trafficking events. There are six ferlin members: dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L4, Fer1L5, and Fer1L6. Previous research shows the first three ferlins play a pathophysiological role in humans, while the other three remain uncharacterized. Fer1L6 is one of...

  • Relationship between rate of torque development and contractile impulse in three muscle groups

    Creator:
    Wright, Jaime M.
    Abstract:
    Background: The capability of an individual to produce force rapidly is important for performance of sporting activities and to stabilize a joint to protect against injury. Rate of torque development (RTD) and contractile impulse (CI) may be more effective than peak torque in assessing rapid torque production. The relationship between...

  • Physical activity and cognitive ability in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Creator:
    Johnson, Nicole Brooke
    Abstract:
    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is described as a developmental disability characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive or restricted movements. It has been shown that as children with ASD age, their cognitive and social skills improve with time, and physical activity has been linked with improving aspects of...

    Johnson, Kimberly
    Abstract:
    Knowledge concerning trade wind cumulus, one of the most dominant cloud types on the planet, has become increasingly important when considering global issues such as climate change due to their potential influence on the Earth’s energy budget. In this project, using data from the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean...
