Ocean Temperature Variability during the Late Pleistocene

Creator:: Hoffman, Jeremy Scott
Abstract:: This dissertation explores one overarching question relevant to the paleoclimate of the latest Pleistocene glacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years): “How did spatial and temporal evolution of ocean temperature, both at the surface and interior, relate to other parts of the climate system in the late Pleistocene?” Results from...

Assessment of pre-fire season physical fitness training among Bureau of Land Management wildland firefighters

Creator:: Hawkins, Jeremy R.
Abstract:: Wildland firefighters encounter many situations during forest fires that require them to rely on their knowledge, experience, and fitness level for survival While energy expenditure of wildland firefighters on the fire line has been well established, relatively little is known about the physical fitness level of wildland firefighters when they...

Integrating functional trait frameworks into restoration : the role of seed and seedling traits in recruitment success

Creator:: Larson, Julie E.
Abstract:: Seeding is a vital tool to facilitate recovery of degraded ecosystems, but low seedling recruitment rates limit the utility of this practice in a range of ecosystems across the globe. Plant functional traits impact individual fitness through effects on growth, reproduction and survival. Consequently, seed and seedling trait variation among...

The effects of static and dynamic stretching on reaction time and performance in a countermovement jump

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on countermovement jump height, reaction time, muscle onsets for tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus lateralis (VL), and low back/ hamstring flexibility. METHODS: Twenty one recreationally-active males (24.4 ± 4.5 yrs), recruited...

Digit Span Ratio, Joint Laxity, and Muscular Strength as Predisposing Factors for Female ACL Injuries

Creator:: Cohen, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Females more commonly injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in athletics than do males. Despite many studies researching anatomical, neuromuscular, and hormonal causes, the predisposing risk factors behind this occurrence are currently unknown. This study compared 5 females who had injured their ACL to 15 healthy females concentrating on three...

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...

Natural history and evolution of a color polymorphism in Rana pipiens, the northern leopard frog

Creator:: Hoffman, Eric A.
Abstract:: A primary goal of population genetics is to identify the role of microevolutionary forces in producing observed patterns of molecular and phenotypic variation. I conducted four studies in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to determine just how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection influenced, genetic structure of mitochondrial DNA...

Assessing Several Modeling Approaches in Depletion Studies of a TRISO-Fueled Microreactor

Creator:: Hoffman, Keenan J.
Abstract:: The impact of MCNP6 depletion resolution on core lifetime is examined in the context of the Snowflake microreactor with explicit TRISO fuel. The change in core lifetime and iso- tope mass as a result of different tracked isotopes, timesteps, and spatial regions is discussed. Calculation speed of a prototype MCNP...

Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

Creator:: Anderson, Jeremy T.
Abstract:: Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

Spinal reflex control in healthy and ACL-injured women during a distracting task

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...
