Smoking initiation by female college students

Creator:: Huynh, Cuong Van
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to gain insight into why female college students initiate smoking. This study examined the major factors influencing the formation of such habit among this group. The tool used to study these factors was the questionnaire. Questionnaires were administered to randomly selected female students on...

Studies on the hydrophobic effect and its contribution to the stability, crystallization, and helix packing of Z-DNA

Creator:: Kagawa, Todd F.
Abstract:: The studies presented here use the B- to Z-DNA transition and Z-DNA crystallization as model systems to determine the contribution of solvent interactions to macromolecular structures. The substituent groups of naturally occurring and modified nucleotide bases affect the hydration and thus the stability of right-handed B-DNA and left-handed Z-DNA. The...

The effects of whole body vibration on the neuromuscular system

Creator:: Hong, Junggi
Abstract:: Recently, changes in human performance following whole-body vibration (WBV) training have been attributed to enhanced neuromuscular function. However, the exact neural and muscular mechanisms responsible for these changes remain less understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of whole body vibration on the...

Efficacy of lateral heel wedge orthotics for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis

Creator:: Wallace, David A.
Abstract:: Lateral heel wedge orthotics are designed to reduce medial tibiofemoral joint loading and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the efficacy of long-term lateral heel wedge orthotics use among OA patients has not been determined. This study evaluated the extent to which lateral heel wedge orthotics reduced...

Investigation of the biomechanics of running and rapid change-of-direction tasks

Creator:: Golden, Grace M.
Abstract:: Rapid change-of-direction tasks have been associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and females are more likely to suffer this injury compared to males. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of running and three rapid change-of-direction tasks and determine whether sex differences exist across...

Effects of seat and back rest inclination on wheelchair propulsion of individuals with spastic cerebral palsy

Creator:: Skaggs, Steve O.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of back and seat rest inclination on the kinematics of manual hand-rim wheelchair propulsion in subjects with spastic type cerebral palsy. Subjects ranged in age from nine to twenty-one and were classified as USCPAA Class III or IV functional ability....

Over-winter demography of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) in fragmented and continuous habitats

Creator:: Brunkal, Heidi L.
Abstract:: Large scale disruption of natural habitats worldwide has led to concern over the effects of habitat fragmentation on wildlife populations. Small scale experiments may be a useful tool for discovering effects of fragmentation over larger landscape scales. I sought to explore the potential for using voles as an experimental model...

Heteroaggregation between citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles and hematite colloids : mechanisms and quantification of nanoparticle-colloid interactions

Creator:: Smith, Brian M.
Abstract:: Understanding the aggregation behavior of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in aqueous environments is essential to understanding their fate, transport, and toxicity. Because naturally occurring colloids will likely be present at much higher concentrations than ENMs in environmental systems, heteroaggregation and attachment with these natural colloids could significantly influence ENM fate and...
