Evaluation of body composition assessments for a high school wrestling weight certification program

Creator:: Oja, Kristen M.
Abstract:: Background: The Oregon Wrestling Weight Monitoring Program establishes the athlete’s minimum wrestling weight (MW) for the season. This program specifies the wrestler’s maximum weight loss rate and was implemented in order to reduce unhealthy weight-cutting behaviors commonly practiced by wrestlers. Aims: (1) To compare differences in percent body fat (%BF)...

The application of human motor control principles to a collective robotic arm

Creator:: Harty, Tyson Harold
Abstract:: Current robots are no match for biological organisms when adapting to real-world, dynamic environments. Collective control strategies, such as those used by synergistic biological systems composed of large numbers of identical parts like the human nervous system, provide a novel and alternative approach for the design of fault-tolerant, adaptable robotic...

Effects of teaching games for understanding on game performance and understanding in middle school physical education

Creator:: Harvey, Stephen
Abstract:: Most students arrive at game-focused physical education (PE) with neither the skills nor the tactical knowledge to be successful (Metzler, 2000). Although the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) approach can enhance both on- and off-the-ball skills in game play performance (Griffin et al., 1995; Harvey et al., in review, Harvey...

The effects of case methods on preservice physical education teachers' value orientations

Creator:: Timken, Gay L.
Abstract:: Preservice teachers' beliefs and values develop due to their long "apprenticeship of observation" (Lortie, 1975) and often filter their teacher education experiences (Feiman-Nemser & Buchman, 1986; Pajares, 1992). Case methods may be one curricular tool by which to instill change in preservice teachers' beliefs and values. This study investigated the...

Increasing Vitamin D Levels to Improve Fertilization Rates in Cattle

Creator:: Peixoto de Souza, Vanessa
Abstract:: Recently, an interest in supplementation of vitamin D to improve aspects of health, especially in human fertility, has emerged. However, supplementation of Vitamin D above the minimum required levels to prevent deficiency has yet to be explored in cattle despite evidence for vitamin D receptors in reproductive tissues. The objective...

Fine scale foraging behavior of gray whales in relation to prey fields and vessel disturbance along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A.
Abstract:: The desire to understand the spatial and temporal drivers of animal behavior and distribution relative to scale is central to movement ecology. Optimal foraging theory states that a predator should continue exploiting a patch until it is no longer profitable to do so. As human developments increasingly encroach on the...

The influence of map complexity on interpolation accuracy.pdf

Creator:: Young, Brian K.
Abstract:: In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of interpolated dasymetric maps. An automated experiment was designed to investigate the precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the accuracy...

The size of the Oregon coastal salmon runs in the mid-1800s

Creator:: Meengs, Chad C.
Abstract:: Increasing the abundance of salmon in coastal Oregon rivers and streams is a high priority public policy objective. Salmon runs have been reduced from pre-development conditions (typically defined as the 1 850s), but it is unclear by how much. Considerable resources have been allocated to restoring salmon runs, but it...

The herbicide HOE 23408; soil persistence, spring wheat cultivar tolerance, and interaction with broadleaf herbicides

Creator:: Ivackovich, Branislav D.
Abstract:: HOE 23408 [ 4-(2' , 4'-dichlorophenoxy)-phenoxy-u-propionic methylester.1 is a promising new compound for control of wild oats and other grass weeds in small grains. Several factors influencing its use for this purpose were investigated. Greenhouse bioassay studies were conducted in 1975 to determine relative persistence of HOE 23408 in four...
