101 Stahulak, Robert J.Applying chiral field Theory to Neutron Star Moments of InertiaIn this work we examine the applications of neutron stars and their unique structure to provide limits on the range of possible equations of state which describe nuclear matter. We follow the history of developments in nuclear physics and discuss the current state of knowledge of neutron stars, incl...2019
102 Mann, SaraApplying the theory of planned behavior to aggressive treatments at the end-of-lifePhysicians and other health care experts are continuously studying the efficacy of treatments and their long-term effects. For instance, research has shown that aggressive end-of-life care could be potentially more harmful to the patient than previously known. Naturally, this has led to a wave of ...Terminal care; Death2016-04

105 Blake, Bennett J.Art-secured lending and evaluating the loan-to-value ratio in art and real estate lending marketsI analyze the lending terms for loans with art as collateral. The standard loan-to-value (LTV) ratio offered by private banks is 50% of the value of a piece/collection, while for other tangible assets, such as real estate, LTV is often 80%. I use a linear regression model with common U.S. stock indi...2023
106 Mallender, ZacharyAssay of the dreem device on sleep metrics and an exploration of sleep staging in chronic short sleepers during time in bed extensionDespite clear and plentiful research that sleeping less than seven hours per night has a wide array of health consequences, a large portion of American adults report sleeping less than seven hours per night and thus receive chronic insufficient sleep. Many studies exploring the consequences of insuf...2022

109 Brandt, Ellissa KathrynAssessment of bilateral muscle function symmetry in female alpine skiersA recent theory for the high occurrence of ACL injuries in female athletes is the presence of asymmetric leg muscle function. Unfortunately, information relative to the bilateral muscle function for the legs of female alpine skiers is lacking. Therefore the primary aim of this project is to examine ...Anterior Cruciate Ligament - injuries; Skiers, Female; Single leg counter movement jump - Research; Single leg time to stabilization - Research2012-05
110 Renz, AndyAssessment of exercise-stimulated tissue oxygenation in calf muscle with functional MRIPeripheral artery disease (PAD) affects millions of patients in the USA, and effective diagnosis and management of PAD is a major clinical goal. One promising avenue of research towards the goal is through functional MRI, which provides non-invasive measurement of tissue oxygenation. For a group of ...Arteries - Diseases - Diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging - Research; Calf muscle; Peripheral arterial disease; MATLAB2016-04
111 Cordova, Lauren A.Associations Between Race, Education Level, Socioeconomic Status and Contraceptive Disontinucation after 1 year of Free Contraceptives in Salt Lake countyUnplanned pregnancies make up nearly half of all pregnancies. This prompted the HER Salt Lake Project to offer free contraceptives to women in Salt Lake County, Utah. Discontinuation or switching of free contraceptives is linked to race, education level, socioeconomic status, and the choice of contr...2020
112 Campbell, AndrewAsynchronous distributed }OT-Enabled customer characterization in distrubtion networks: theory and hardware implementationThis work proposes and implements an asynchronous distributed IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled customer characterization framework to classify customers' load consumption behaviors in electric distribution networks. More specifically, the proposed framework enables robust fully distributed clusterin...2021
113 Hynes, WilliamAudience Tailoring: Implications for Narrative IdentityIn the present study, I examined the extent and effect of audience tailoring in a sample of college-going emerging adults (n = 106).

114 Anjewierden, ScottAutomated kinematic analysis of pre-pluse inhibition in larval zebrafishAnimals differentially ignore or attend to sensory information depending on their immediate environment. A significant example of this phenomenon is audiomotorpre-pulse inhibition (PPI), in which the startle response to a loud noise is suppressed by a preceding stimulus of lower intensity. This a...Zebra danio - Development; Kinematics - Research; Kinematic parameters; Swim kinematics; Pre-pulse inhibition2014-12
