    Dixon-Ibarra, Alicia Mae
    Abstract:
    Background: A particular health inequity that has drawn national attention is obesity in persons with disabilities (CDC, 2011). Estimates suggest that as many as 80% of adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability (ID) are overweight or obese (Stanish & Draheim, 2005). Despite the benefits of being active (e.g. controlling...

  • The aging endoplasmic reticulum

    Creator:
    Dixon, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Hallmarks of aging include the accumulation of aberrant proteins and a lower resistance to stresses. Because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions to fold proteins and possesses unique stress sensing pathways, the central hypothesis of this dissertation is that the ER is a target of cellular aging and significantly underlies these...

  • Effectiveness of curve advisory speed signs : a characterization of road operations in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Avelar Morán, Raúl Eduardo
    Abstract:
    Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve locations is a common practice in the U.S. These signs recommend drivers safe speeds to negotiate such curves. Literature indicates that adherence to advisory speeds is, in general, poor. Moreover, limited research is available that quantifies safety implications of these signs. This...

  • Evaluating safety at Oregon‘s isolated, high-speed, signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Kopper, Neil H.
    Abstract:
    Isolated approaches at signalized intersections with posted speed limits of 45 mph or greater generally experience large numbers of rear-end and angle collisions. A combination of less attentive drivers, high operating speeds, and less than ideal intersection characteristics can result in crash frequencies well above expected rates. A number of...

  • Steroid dialkylcarbene reactions

    Creator:
    Dixon, Dale David
    Abstract:
    Steroid carbenes have been investigated as synthetic intermediates. Basic decomposition of 4-en-3-one tosylhydrazones (and other A-ring systems) gives varying amounts of 2, 4-dienes, and solvent derived products with diglyme, heptane, tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, benzene and cyclohexene. A method for separating complex product mixtures was developed and a study of the...

  • Opportunities and challenges for decision support systems in log truck scheduling and dispatching

    Creator:
    Kokenge, Kyler S.
    Abstract:
    The transportation of logs from the forest to the mill accounts for 25-50% of the delivered cost of wood, depending mostly on haul distance. Decision support systems (DSS) for log truck scheduling and dispatching have the potential to reduce transportation costs by optimally constructing routes, also known as schedules for...

  • Safety performance of curve advisory speed signs

    Creator:
    Avelar Moran, Raúl Eduardo
    Abstract:
    Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve sites is a practice well established in the United States. The purpose of these signs is to provide the driving public with a safe speed to negotiate such curves; however, the link between these signs and safety has not yet been clearly...
