Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:: Leung, Chun (Willie)
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...

Wearable Device Users with and without Disabilities and their Physical Activity Behaviors

Creator:: Leung, Willie C.
Abstract:: The importance of physical activity is well documented (Haskell et al., 2009a; McReynolds & Rossen, 2004; Steinbeck, 2001). Despite physical activity’s benefits, many individuals are not meeting current weekly physical activity guidelines recommending ≥ 150 minutes of moderate or ≥ 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic physical activity and 2 or...

Photoinitiated grafting of PMMA onto cellulose nanocrystals to improve nanocomposite reinforcement-matrix interface

Creator:: Mirashrafi, Suzanne
Abstract:: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are extremely abundant, biodegradable and light weight nanoparticles that have the potential to contribute in many fields including packaging, construction, solar cells and automotive. With the increasing interest in nanotechnology and nanocomposites, CNCs could provide a renewable, optically transparent and strong alternative to other nano-scale reinforcement phases....

An in silico Approach to Determine the Influence of Surface Chemical Properties on the Toxicity of Engineered Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Creator:: Zhou, Zitao
Abstract:: Nanotechnology products have long since made their way to markets around the world increasing the concerns about whether nanomaterials pose a risk to our environment or health. It has been suggested that engineered nanomaterial (ENM) with broad applications and rapid commercialization need better risk assessment and regulation. However, the refinement...

Water, Energy, and Food Nexus in the Amu-Darya River Basin: Analysis of Water Demand and Supply Management Infrastructure Development at Transboundary Level

Creator:: Abdulloev, Aminjon
Abstract:: The levels of cooperation in efforts towards transboundary water management in the Aral Sea basin have ranged from high to low over the past few decades, due in part to diverse purposes for water use in the region. Two important and often conflicting uses are agriculture and hydropower, which tend...

Inkjet-Printed Metal Halide Semiconductors for Wearable Electronics

Creator:: Li, Shujie
Abstract:: There is an emerging interest in developing wearable electronics as a platform, which provides the flexibility of a wearable while maintaining its promising functionality as smart textiles. Metal-halide semiconductors are attractive materials with tunable optical and electrical properties. Researchers have widely studied and applied it for advanced photonics and optoelectronic...

The effects of nanoparticle addition on the processing, structure and properties of SiC and AlN

Creator:: Onbattuvelli, Valmikanathan P.
Abstract:: Silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum nitride (AlN) exhibit a combination of thermal and mechanical properties that are relevant to applications in electronics, aerospace, defense and automotive industries. However, the successful translation of these properties into final applications lies in the net-shaping of these ceramics into fully dense microstructures. Increasing the...

Physical Activity and Motor Skills in Children with Disabilities

Creator:: Cowgill, Lisa Michelle
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between physical activity level and motor skill proficiency in school-aged children ages 9-18 with developmental disabilities. Physical activity level was assessed using Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometers, which participants wore for all hours of the day for seven days. Motor skill proficiency...

Examining physical activity and gross motor skills in children with developmental disabilities

Creator:: Cook, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship...

Relations between Physical Fitness and School-Day Physical Activity Behavior in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Creator:: Tyler, Kiley J.
Abstract:: Background. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social-communicative deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities (APA, 2013). While current estimates suggest 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with ASD, more alarming statistics indicate 1 in 50 school-aged children live with the disorder (Blumberg, Bramlett, Kogan,...
