  • The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

    Creator:
    Fuchs, Robyn K.
    Abstract:
    To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...

  • Value and evaluation : a case study of interdisciplinary green infrastructure continuing professional education trainings

    Creator:
    Johnson, Christine M.
    Abstract:
    The practice of green infrastructure is synonymous with collaborative partnerships. Expertise from engineers, land care professionals, planners, and natural resource consultants are often required for successful project implementation. Traditionally, these professionals perform their responsibilities in their disciplinary “silos,” but this evolving area of sustainable development is creating a demand for...

  • An Investigation into the Functional Properties of the Deafness Causing Protein Otoferlin

    Creator:
    Manchanda, Aayushi
    Abstract:
    Otoferlin is a C2-domain, transmembrane protein whose mutated form is responsible for the DFNB9 subtype of prelingual hearing impairment. Mutations in otoferlin cause an autosomal recessive, non-syndromic form of deafness that is characterized by auditory neuropathy/ auditory dissynchrony (AN/AD), meaning that the outer hair cells (OHCs) are normal, and the...

  • Surface heat flux estimates from NCAR electra data over the pacific warm pool during TOGA COARE

    Creator:
    Greiser, Christine M.
    Abstract:
    The warm pool region of the western tropical Pacific is of particular interest to atmospheric dynamics because it represents a significant source of energy to the atmosphere. A better understanding of heat transfer driven by mesoscale and turbulent circulations within this region could lead to improved global circulation models, and...

  • Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces

    Creator:
    Schilke, Karl F.
    Abstract:
    Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces and surfaces are of fundamental importance for biomaterials, biocatalysis and microreactor applications. Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on poly-DL-tryptophan tethers showed 30x higher specific activity in aqueous and non-aqueous media than the same enzyme adsorbed or covalently bound directly to the surface. An excess...

  • Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

    Creator:
    Kirby, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

  • Community Perceptions of Recreation Management and Experiences in the Oregon State University Research Forests

    Creator:
    Gustavson, Elspeth
    Abstract:
    Strategic planning for forests subjected to multiple uses is important for management that sustains and balances these many uses. In the wildland urban interface where forests are in the backyards of members of the public who avidly recreate in them, it is also important to include the community in the...

  • Techno-economic and Life-cycle Analyses of Glucosamine and Lipid Production from Marine Diatom Cyclotella sp.

    Creator:
    Xiang, Xuwen
    Abstract:
    Currently the production of biofuel from algae is not economically competitive with petroleum fuel. However, co-production of high-value products may be able to justify the cost of large-scale algae cultivation. The basic goal of this study is to develop a techno-economic analysis (TEA) and Life-cycle assessment (LCA) for the production...

  • Citizen-agency interactions : an investigation of postfire environments

    Creator:
    Olsen, Christine Shaw
    Abstract:
    Wildfire management has grown increasingly complex in recent years, particularly in the West and in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) where a steady population growth has resulted in greater risk to people and property. Recent trends suggest the process of recovering from large fires (>100,000 acres) will become increasingly important to...

  • Educational technology associations as change agents : A case study

    Creator:
    Stephenson, Christine (Christine Gale)
    Abstract:
    This research addressed the role of educational technology associations as change agents within education with particular emphasis on issues of advocacy and leadership. Using a poststructural feminist lens and the metaphor of interview and analysis as storytelling, it explored the perspectives of nineteen individuals belonging to a national level educational...
