The Association Between Patient Activation and Cost, Utilization, and Outcomes Among Patients Undergoing Elective, Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

Creator:: Owen, Erin Callahan
Abstract:: Background. Total knee arthroplasty, or replacement, is a common, generally successful, and expensive procedure. Tools to predict outcomes following orthopedic procedures are abundant, yet no commonly used assessment accounts for an individual’s propensity to engage in adaptive health behavior. The 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM) questionnaire is a tool that...

Selected factors affecting the pattern of agricultural land conversion in Washington County, Oregon, 1963-1973

Creator:: Furuseth, Owen J., 1949-
Abstract:: In recent years the conversion of agricultural lands to more intensive non-rural land uses has become a focus of increasing public awareness and concern. The growing attention to farmland conversion is manifested in increasing public policies and legilsation to protect agricultural and forestry land uses. Nevertheless, our understanding of the...

Vitamin E Protects Developmental Gene Expression and Metabolic Networks in Zebrafish Embryos

Creator:: Head, Brian A.
Abstract:: Vitamin E (VitE) is necessary for vertebrate embryonic development. VitE prevents lipid peroxidation (LPO), which requires detoxification by cellular antioxidant systems subsequently involving reducing power derived from energy metabolism. Thus, VitE protects metabolic networks in the developing embryo and the integrated gene expression networks compensating for and impaired by LPO-induced...

On the estimation and application of spatial and temporal autocorrelation in headwater streams

Creator:: Som, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: This collection of three manuscripts serves to improve methods for collecting, interpreting, and utilizing autocorrelated data from headwater stream networks. Each stream network is comprised of linear segments. These segments lie within a unique branching structure that connects the segments via flowing water, and the connectivity provided by water varies...

Enhancing social-emotional and character development for youths' success : a theoretical orientation and an evaluation using a cluster-randomized design

Creator:: Snyder, Frank J.
Abstract:: Interest in social-emotional and character development (SECD) programming has intensified in recent years. SECD-related programs often seek to enhance a variety of health-related outcomes by addressing multiple influences and embracing a comprehensive approach that includes youth, school personnel, families, and communities. Alongside a comprehensive approach arises the need for a...

A macroscale measurement and modeling approach to improve understanding of the hydrology of steep, forested hillslopes

Creator:: Graham, Christopher Brian
Abstract:: The dominant controls on flow generation in steep, forested hillslopes are poorly understood. This dissertation examined the dominant flow processes operating at the hillslope scale, using a combined macroscale measurement and model development and analysis framework. Irrigation experiments at two steep forested hillslopes were conducted to isolate individual hillslope flow...

Development and validation of acoustic measurement techniques for void fraction in concentric annular geometries

Creator:: Tost, Brian C.
Abstract:: This work investigates the acoustic velocity of gas-liquid mixtures in vertical, co-current flow in a concentric annulus. Acoustic velocity shows promise as a detection parameter for the presence and amount of gas in a liquid flow because of its high sensitivity to gas void fraction in a gas-liquid mixture. However,...

Ethnic, Age, and Gender Comparisons in Mediation of Socio-Cultural and Intrapersonal Influences on BMI by Physical Activity and Dietary Intake among California Adolescents

Creator:: Le, Binh T.
Abstract:: In the U.S., childhood overweight and obesity has grown to epidemic levels. The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) found that nationwide, approximately 32% of children 10–17 years old are identified as overweight, over half of them (nearly 17%) are obese. This is a concern because these rates continue to...

The Modeling of Core-Wide Behavior of Pebble Bed Reactors Using Static and Dynamic Graphite Pebble Properties to Predict Core Performance and Safety Behaviors

Creator:: Cox, Jordan T.
Abstract:: The United States Department of Energy has identified the pebble-bed reactor as a high priority for US research with the end goal of licensing a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) for operation in the United States. Before this can be accomplished significant research must be done regarding the safety of the pebble-bed...

Fluidic and thermal modeling for the high production rate synthesis of high quality nanoparticles

Creator:: Peterson, Daniel Alan
Abstract:: Advances of colloidal nanomaterials for societal benefit have been hampered by the high cost and low quality of nanoparticles (NPs). The production of high quality nanoparticles within colloidal suspension has two related concerns; (1) current high production rates methods of synthesizing nanoparticles result in a larger range of particle size,...
