Investigation of Procyanidins Used in Botanical Dietary Supplements

Creator:: Rue, Emily A.
Abstract:: Polyphenolic compounds found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, are an integral part of the human diet. Within polyphenols, proanthocyanidins are referred to as condensed tannins and encompass procyanidins, propelargonidins and prodelphinidins. Among these, procyanidins are the largest group. Recent interest in these compounds is related...

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....

Modular Cross Laminated Timber Structures Using Underutilized Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Bhandari, Sujit
Abstract:: Conflicts and disasters displace millions of populations worldwide. There is a need for rapid and affordable housing to cater to the needs of the displaced and unhoused population. Experience from previous post-disaster responses shows that temporary housing should be rapidly deployable, planned for months to years, and should be environmentally...

Novel System Design and Operational Strategies for the Production of Biofuels and Bioproducts

Creator:: Kadhum, Haider J.
Abstract:: Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical process in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and biochemicals. Achieving high efficiencies and productivity during the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass is the key for the commercially viable process. Downstream processing challenges require high product titers which in turn require the use of high...
