Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

Percussive welding of metal-semiconductor contacts

Creator:: Heck, Lyle Daniel
Abstract:: Application of automatic production techniques to the fabrication of semiconductor devices has been somewhat limited by the requirements of conventional alloying techniques. These alloying techniques require an excessive amount of individual handling. This thesis investigates the feasibility of applying percussive welding to the fabrication of metal-semiconductor contacts, as a solution...

Effects of wildfire on growth and demographics of coastal cutthroat trout in headwater streams

Creator:: Heck, Michael P.
Abstract:: Wildfire is a largely terrestrial perturbation broadly recognized as an agent of disturbance and ecological change in forested biomes. Effects of post-fire conditions on biotic components of aquatic systems have been less well-documented, although hypothetically, the two are strongly connected. In fact, the influence of wildfire may be most profound...

Let’s talk about seagrasses! A front-end evaluation to improve messaging strategies for seagrass conservation in Indian River Lagoon visitor centers

Creator:: Durham Shea, Amy
Abstract:: In the most recent decades, there has been extensive loss of seagrasses within the Indian River Lagoon estuary on the eastern coast of Florida. This decline poses a significant threat to the ecological function of the ecosystem, as well as to the social and economic wellbeing of the surrounding communities....

Beaver Herbivory Behavior and its Impact on Habitat Restoration at South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve

Creator:: Marten, Sarah
Abstract:: North American beavers (Castor canadensis) are ecological engineers that improve biodiversity and can improve the health of riparian ecosystems. Beavers are generalist herbivores with some evidence of species preference, utilizing woody material for both food source and dam construction. In the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, Charleston, Oregon, a...

Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

Creator:: Kiff, Adam B.
Abstract:: Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

Relationship between rate of torque development and contractile impulse in three muscle groups

Creator:: Wright, Jaime M.
Abstract:: Background: The capability of an individual to produce force rapidly is important for performance of sporting activities and to stabilize a joint to protect against injury. Rate of torque development (RTD) and contractile impulse (CI) may be more effective than peak torque in assessing rapid torque production. The relationship between...

The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

Creator:: Asplund, Christopher
Abstract:: Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...

The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

Creator:: Kitagawa, Taichi
Abstract:: The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

Creator:: Stone, Clara A.
Abstract:: The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...
