Geotechnical characterization and drained shear strength of a limestone aggregate

Creator:: Knierim, Christina D.
Abstract:: Aggregate piers are a method of ground improvement used to increase the strength and bearing capacity of the native geological soils for the support of new civil infrastructure. The understanding of the bearing failure mechanism of aggregate piers remains largely unstudied. The effects of design variables in the failure mechanisms...

Using Stable Isotopes to Quantify Ecological Interaction Strengths

Creator:: Shepard, Isaac D.
Abstract:: Understanding ecological interaction strengths is one of the main objectives of ecology. Recently, two methods for estimating interaction strengths of predator-prey interactions in nature have been proposed: a field observation approach proposed by Novak and Wootton (2008) and stable isotope analysis. The field observation method estimates feeding rates based on...

Digit Span Ratio, Joint Laxity, and Muscular Strength as Predisposing Factors for Female ACL Injuries

Creator:: Cohen, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Females more commonly injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in athletics than do males. Despite many studies researching anatomical, neuromuscular, and hormonal causes, the predisposing risk factors behind this occurrence are currently unknown. This study compared 5 females who had injured their ACL to 15 healthy females concentrating on three...

A literature review of the functional movement screen as a predictor of injury in the sport of basketball

Creator:: Etzel, Chad E.
Abstract:: Athletic activities have always carried an inherent risk for injuries, and basketball is no exception. Basketball is the second most popular team sport in the United States in which 984,777 high school boys and girls participated during the 2010-2011 season. Athletic trainers and strength and conditioning staff are pressured to...

Girls on the Run: Strengths, Weaknesses, Improvements, and Suggestions for Change

Creator:: Eslamizar, Hoda
Abstract:: With more and more adolescent girls having lower self-esteem due to the pressures from society to be thin and beautiful, programs have been developed to help increase young girls’ self-esteem while teaching them about nutrition and self-image as well as encouraging them to be physically active. I analyzed one of...

Technological Improvements in Ligation and Suturing Techniques: A Comparison in the Material Strength of Ligating Clips and Suturing Devices

Creator:: Robertson, Bria L.
Abstract:: Treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts provides many options, including cellophane banding. These cellophane bands are secured with a ligation clip. Weck® offers two forms of these: the stainless steel Hemoclip, and the polymer Hem-o-lok. This in vitro study compares the mechanical strength of these two of types of clips by...

De novo Discovery of Novel Long Noncoding RNAs in the North American Beaver

Creator:: Kashyap, Amita
Abstract:: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are at least 200 nucleotides long and do not encode proteins. lncRNAs have roles in gene regulation, chromatin epigenetics, and molecular scaffolding. In light of mounting evidence implicating species-specific noncoding RNAs and gene regulatory mechanisms in species adaptations, it is reasonable to...

Strength Training for Triathletes : Blending Anecdotal and Empirical Evidence to Improve Triathlon Performance

Creator:: Le, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Triathlon is an endurance sport consisting of back-to-back swimming, cycling, and running. There are four popular distances: sprint (.75k m swim, 20km bike, 5km run), Olympic (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run), half-ironman (1.9km swim, 90km bike, 21.1km run), and ironman (3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km run). Even at the...

Strength and Composition of Willamette Valley Cob: An Earthen Building Material

Creator:: Pullen, Quinn M.
Abstract:: Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters, including both average values...

Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

Creator:: Mohamed, Aly
Abstract:: The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...
