Effects of plant community characteristics on insect abundance : implications for sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat

Creator:: Ersch, Erica A.
Abstract:: A causative factor in declining greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations is reduced annual recruitment due to poor habitat quality. Sage-grouse population decline is concurrent with a decline in the extent and quality of the sagebrush (Artemisia sp.) biome. However, current research has shown a positive relationship between sage-grouse brood and...

The metabolic and clinical responses of Arabian horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis to a standardized field exercise test

Creator:: Eyrich, Lauren V.
Abstract:: Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER), or the occurrence of muscle damage with exercise, is prevalent among Arabian horses, the most common breed participating in endurance racing. The cause and pathogenesis of this disease has yet to be determined, and due to the potential for significant morbidity and even mortality associated with ER...

Developing and facilitating growth mindsets using the self-determination theory in recreational gymnastics coaches

Creator:: Furuya, Nozomi C. K.
Abstract:: The present study was a program evaluation of KidSpirit that investigated how gymnastics coaches’ growth mindsets changed over an eight week period after a training intervention. A mixed-method approach was used to measure growth mindset and self-determination theory (SDT). There were three aims of this study: (1) participants would improve...

Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chaimov, Hilary
Abstract:: Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

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...

'Hysterical preservationists' and 'gouge-and-run bulldozer boys' : the land-use controversy in Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains, 1968-1972

Creator:: Jensen, Erica (Erica Lyn)
Abstract:: Similar to other spectacular scenic areas in the American West, Idaho’s White Cloud Mountains have been a contested landscape since the beginning of the 20th century. Although, legislation was introduced in Congress as early as 1913 to protect the towering mountains of south-central Idaho as a national park, the issue...

Behavior of Steel Structures in Fire Following Earthquakes

Creator:: Maddalozzo, Walker A.
Abstract:: Fire following earthquake (FFE) events are cascading hazards that have caused great damage in the past and pose a continued threat to our communities. The increased risk for fire after a seismic event stems from potential damage to utilities such as gas or fuel pipelines, which can lead to ignition....

Advancements Toward the Simulation of Steel Structures in Fire Using OpenSees

Creator:: Gordon, James A.
Abstract:: Since the collapse of World Trade Center building number seven (WTC7), significant research has been done to understand the behavior of steel structures in fire and enable engineers to account for the behavior of steel framing systems exposed to fire during design. Despite these efforts, there are still significant barriers...

Spinal reflex control in healthy and ACL-injured women during a distracting task

Creator:: Perrier, Erica Taylor
Abstract:: Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...

Sediment Transport Prototypes : Novel Methods to Disconnect Forest Roads from Streams

Creator:: Kemp, Erica D.
Abstract:: Unpaved roads are a critical form of infrastructure in forested landscapes but also a potential source of fine sediment that can degrade sensitive ecosystems nearby. Improved management of aggregate road surfacing can reduce sediment generation, lengthen its useful life span, reduce maintenance costs, and more importantly, mitigate the impacts of...
