Local and Regional Patterns in Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) Communities Along an Upwelling-Productivity Gradient in Oregon Estuaries, USA

Creator:: Motley, Jennifer
Abstract:: In this thesis, I investigate the organization of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) and mesograzer communities across local and regional scales in three upwelling- influenced estuaries located along the Oregon coast, USA. Eelgrass ecosystems are an important source of primary production in estuarine systems, providing numerous ecosystem services, including nursery habitat...

Integrating climate change resilience into the monitoring and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on Washington’s aquatic reserves

Creator:: Bleke, Erica
Abstract:: Eelgrass (Zostera marina) provides critical ecosystem functions and services and is a vital biogenic habitat on Washington’s marine aquatic reserves but its placement at the land-sea interface leaves it vulnerable to multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors. In this study, published scientific literature is examined to identify thresholds of environmental stressors...

Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

Creator:: Bauer, Jeremy J.
Abstract:: While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

Armrests and back support reduced biomechanical loading in the neck and upper extremities during mobile phone use

Creator:: Syamala, Kartheek Reddy, Ailneni, Ravi Charan, Kim, Jeong Ho, and Hwang, Jaejin
Abstract:: Mobile phone use is known to be associated with musculoskeletal pain in the neck and upper extremities because of related physical risk factors, including awkward postures. A chair that provides adequate support (armrests and back support) may reduce biomechanical loading in the neck and shoulder regions. Therefore, we conducted a...

The Book of Mormon Topic Structure, Keyness Distinctions, and Collocates of Deity: Implications for Mental Health Professionals

Creator:: Callister, Paul T.
Abstract:: Understanding the spiritual worldview of clients is a core element of multicultural competency for mental health professionals. One spiritual and religious population is members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and related Latter-day Saint populations. The Book of Mormon is an important sacred text of this population....

Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

Creator:: Magel, Caitlin L.
Abstract:: Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

Unoccupied aircraft systems in forest monitoring applications

Creator:: Barker, Matthew I.
Abstract:: In recent years, unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) have become increasingly affordable and straightforward to incorporate in monitoring applications of forested ecosystems. This shift has facilitated interest in using these tools to monitor aspects of forest ecosystems including vegetation health, forest structure and composition, and potential habitat provided by these systems....

The physiological effect of posture on cycling

Creator:: al-Haboubi, Muhammad
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to investigate the physiological effects of body posture on cycling. The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...
