  • Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

    Creator:
    Thomas, Seth Alan
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

  • Reduced intraabdominal fat after lower-dose treadmill training in growing female rats

    Creator:
    David, Lynne Catherine
    Abstract:
    The presence of an increased accumulation of intraabdominal fat (IAF) has been linked to dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia, which precede the development of type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). It has been shown that IAF begins depostition during childhood. Human studies suggest that regular endurance exercise, that does...

  • Intrafirm and interfirm productivity comparisons

    Creator:
    Burnett, Daniel Rodger
    Abstract:
    Interfirm comparisons are used internationally to provide productivity measurement systems. These systems indicate changes in productivity. The development of interfirm comparisons in Britain, Australia, and Canada is discussed. Interfirm comparisons have also been conducted in the United States under the auspices of various trade associations. However, in the United States...

  • David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

    Creator:
    Randlemon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

  • Latinx Adolescent Sexual Health Education: Informing a Culturally Centered and Inclusive Program

    Creator:
    Cervantes, Beathriz
    Abstract:
    Latinx youth in the US experience stark inequities in sexual and reproductive health, including rates of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. One promising way to reduce these inequities is to provide culturally centered, comprehensive sexual health education. However, such curricula are rarely offered to Latinx youth, in part because...

  • Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

    Creator:
    Converse, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

  • A Methodological Approach for Structural Health Monitoring of Mass-Timber Buildings Under Construction

    Creator:
    Baas, Esther J.
    Abstract:
    As mass-timber building construction rises around the globe, there exists the need to verify the long-term, in-situ behavior and performance of these structural systems. Structural health monitoring (SHM), generally defined as a damage detection strategy consisting of a network of sensors, a data acquisition system, and algorithms for data analysis,...
