Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

Creator:: Wile, Dylan
Abstract:: Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

Spatial trends in U.S. wind energy facility siting practices

Creator:: Wiles, Nathan M.
Abstract:: The United States (U.S.) has seen dramatic growth in installed wind energy generation capacity in recent years, and that growth is expected to remain strong in the near term. The siting of wind energy facilities poses unique challenges that may be exacerbated by increased buildout. As the number of wind...

Planktivorous Auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) nesting on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska as indicators of marine conditions in the northern Bering Sea

Creator:: Gall, Adrian
Abstract:: Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...

How do engineering students develop and reason with concepts of electricity within a project-based course?

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: Reform in science education has often emphasized task-based learning as an instructional method to improve student understanding and retention of concepts, and to promote the development of reasoning and problem-solving. Yet studies assessing student knowledge at the beginning and end of a task-based class show mixed results. Students in task-based...

Toxic politics at 64N, 171W : addressing military contaminants on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska

Creator:: Henifin, Kai A.
Abstract:: St. Lawrence Island, Alaska is home to two Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) under remediation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers since 1985. After more than two decades the local residents continue to be concerned about inadequate site characterization and cleanup. During the summer of 2005, I collected ethnographic...

Soil mounds and patterned ground of the Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve

Creator:: Johnson, Colleen Burch
Abstract:: The Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve, located in Wasco County, Oregon, exhibits a wide variety of soil mounds and patterned ground features. The size, shape, and distribution of several elements of this peculiar landscape were analyzed with a detailed map, field observations, and statistical procedures. Common soil mound shapes are circular,...

Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

Creator:: Steiner, Samantha K.
Abstract:: Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

Student views on science and the scientific process : studying changes made in a redesigned non-major introductory science course

Creator:: Price, Matthew F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how instruction in an introductory nonmajor astronomy course at Oregon State University affects how non-science majors view science and the scientific process. The study used research-based methods to design a reform-based lecture/lab course and implement it for students. Two top-level questions were...
