  • A biomechanical and physiological comparison of deep-water running styles

    Creator:
    Killgore, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to identify a deep-water running (DWR) style that most closely approximates terrestrial running. Methods: Twenty healthy male and female intercollegiate (NCAA III) distance runners were videotaped from the right sagittal view while running on a treadmill (TR) and in deep water at 55-60%...

  • Consideration of Driver Behavior in the Design of Red Light Extension Systems

    Creator:
    McCrea, Sarah Anne
    Abstract:
    Red Light Running (RLR) is a safety hazard at signalized intersections in Oregon and throughout the United States. Various methods of mitigating factors contributing to RLR have been implemented but few protect against a conflict when a vehicles runs a red light. Additionally, current prediction algorithms are complicated; there is...

  • Learning by imitation : the scholarly works of David Bartholomae

    Creator:
    Gallup, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the scholarship in pedagogical theory and practice of David Bartholomae over the past thirty-five years, in particular examining the role that the rhetorical construct of imitation has played in its development. Through my research, I trace the evolution of Bartholomae’s pedagogical stances and practices, as these both...

  • David Hume and the Paradox of Taste

    Creator:
    Chi, Erik
    Abstract:
    David Hume’s resolution of the paradox of taste poses an interesting question for us to ponder. Rather than take a purely subjectivist or objectivist view of the topic, Hume strikes a balance between the two positions by upholding two of three statements regarding taste that are widely held to be...

  • Force and impulse control for spring-mass running

    Creator:
    Koepl, Devin N.
    Abstract:
    We present a novel control strategy for running which is robust to disturbances, and makes excellent use of passive dynamics for energy economy. The motivation for our control strategy is based on observations of animals, which are able to economically walk and run over varying terrain and ground dynamics. It...

  • OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

    Creator:
    Wingo, Patrick C.
    Abstract:
    The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...

    Abstract:
    These essays are an attempt to rebuild memories that explore the nature of work and family. They explore how work knocks against the joints of the body and against the joints between family members, and, as time passes, how the next generation inherits the family line of work only to...

  • The effect of a near-maximal effort one-hour run on preferred and optimal stride rate and vertical stiffness

    Creator:
    Hunter, Iain
    Abstract:
    Experienced runners naturally optimize stride rate in a manner that minimizes oxygen uptake at given running speeds. However, as runners become fatigued, preferred stride rate often decreases. Whether such changes with fatigue occur in parallel with changes in optimal stride rate is unknown. This study's focus was on determining whether...

  • Control of spring-mass running robots

    Creator:
    Vejdani Noghreiyan, Hamid Reza
    Abstract:
    We seek the control strategies that are applicable on legged robots and control them to run in real world as robust and efficient as animals. To achieve this goal, we need to understand the principles of legged locomotion and the control policies that animals use during running. In this study...
