  • Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

    Creator:
    Haberly, Gabriel J.
    Abstract:
    Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

  • Assessing Between-day and Inter-rater Reliability of a 3-minute Running Test for Determining Critical Speed

    Creator:
    Arakawa, Lee
    Abstract:
    For athletes and training populations, the ability to track progress and determine appropriate workloads to stimulate adaptation is vital. Measures that represent a person’s aerobic fitness such as VO2 max and blood lactate concentration are often used for these purposes. While these measures can reveal a lot about a person’s...

  • Linking Moral Obligations, Assumption-based Research, and Structured Decision Making to Inform Bull Trout Recovery

    Creator:
    Brignon, William R.
    Abstract:
    More than 1500 species of plants and animals in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Departments of Interior and Commerce are required, under Section 4(f)(1) of the ESA, to develop recovery plans for ESA-listed species under the respective agency...

  • Measurement of 239Pu, 237Np, and 238U Fission Product γ Rays

    Creator:
    Tamashiro, Aaron S.
    Abstract:
    Fission product yields (FPYs) are used for a wide range of applications including nuclear fission theory, nuclear reactor design, reactor antineutrino anomaly, stellar nucleosynthesis, and nuclear forensics. These applications rely on FPYs that were last evaluated in 1993, which included measurements from all over the world up until 1993. In...

  • A Cosmic-ray Muon Tomography System for Safeguarding Dry Storage Casks

    Creator:
    Liao, Can
    Abstract:
    Because of the growth of the nuclear power industry in the United States and the policy to ban reprocessing of commercial spent nuclear fuel, the spent fuel inventory at commercial reactor sites has been increasing. With the Yucca Mountain project on hold, more spent fuel is expected to be stored...

  • Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...
