  • The effect of a near-maximal effort one-hour run on preferred and optimal stride rate and vertical stiffness

    Creator:
    Hunter, Iain
    Abstract:
    Experienced runners naturally optimize stride rate in a manner that minimizes oxygen uptake at given running speeds. However, as runners become fatigued, preferred stride rate often decreases. Whether such changes with fatigue occur in parallel with changes in optimal stride rate is unknown. This study's focus was on determining whether...

  • Income changes & labor force participation

    Creator:
    Sorenson, Gary W.
    Abstract:
    This monograph is focused around the controversy in the eco­nomic literature regarding the effects of income changes on labor force participation. In particular, this controversy arises from the opposing hypotheses: the "additional worker" and the "discour­aged worker." Each hypothesis predicts different behavior in response to falling income or rising unemployment....

  • Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in northern Monterey Bay, California. The experiment was sponsored by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)...

  • Characterization of dissolved wood organics in totally-chlorine-free bleaching kraft pulp mill effluents

    Creator:
    Xie, Dingming
    Abstract:
    Six filtrate samples (liquid state) were obtained from selected stages in a totally-chlorine- free (TCF) bleach pulp mill. The solids were recovered by evaporation on rotary evaporators and by lyophilization with a freeze drier. Chemical contents (inorganic and organic chemicals) of the six filtrates were analyzed quantitatively according to TAPPI...

  • Challenges to re-embedding food systems : tracing the decline and revival of a farmers’ market on the edge

    Creator:
    Murray, Mary K.
    Abstract:
    A number of researchers view farmers’ markets as an appropriate vehicle for re-embedding food markets into communities (O’Hara & Stagl, 2001, Feenstra, 2002, Lyson, 2005). Amidst astounding growth in the number of farmers’ markets in the United States in recent decades, many markets struggle and fail. Recent research suggests that...

  • Parental warmth and children's effortful control : predictors of social-emotional competency

    Creator:
    Murray, Amy K.
    Abstract:
    Recent research has examined complex relationships between parent and child characteristics and the development of children’s social-emotional competencies. The over-arching objective of the current study was to compare differential patterns of predictability between the individual social-emotional competencies of cooperation, responsibility, and independence, and a social-emotional competency composite, to parental warmth...

  • Predicting the Relationships between High School Characteristics and High School Community College Enrollment Rate Using the Oregon Promise.

    Creator:
    Murray-Jensen, Julie
    Abstract:
    Background: Legislators, policy-makers, and leaders in higher education and within communities, are increasingly turning to place-based scholarships, or “promise programs”, to encourage college enrollment and address growing public concerns regarding college affordability. One such program, the Oregon Promise, was implemented across the state of Oregon in the fall of 2016....

  • Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

    Creator:
    Evans, William Wiley
    Abstract:
    Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...

    Creator:
    Lupfer, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...
