Forecasting Distributional Responses Of Limber Pine To Climate Change At Management-Relevant Scales In Rocky Mountain National Park, William B. Monahan, Tammy Cook, Forrest Melton, Jeff Connor, Ben Bobowski

School of Natural Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Resource managers at parks and other protected areas are increasingly expected to factor climate change explicitly into their decision making frameworks. However, most protected areas are small relative to the geographic ranges of species being managed, so forecasts need to consider local adaptation and community dynamics that are correlated with climate and affect distributions inside protected area boundaries. Additionally, niche theory suggests that species' physiological capacities to respond to climate change may be underestimated when forecasts fail to consider the full breadth of climates occupied by the species rangewide. Here, using correlative species distribution models that contrast estimates of climatic …

Obesity Reduces Left Ventricular Strains, Torsion, And Synchrony In Mouse Models: A Cine Displacement Encoding With Stimulated Echoes (Dense) Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Study, Sage P. Kramer, David K. Powell, Christopher M. Haggerty, Cassi M. Binkley, Andrea C. Mattingly, Lisa A. Cassis, Frederick H. Epstein, Brandon K. Fornwalt

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Obesity affects a third of adults in the US and results in an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. While the mechanisms underlying this increased risk are not well understood, animal models of obesity have shown direct effects on the heart such as steatosis and fibrosis, which may affect cardiac function. However, the effect of obesity on cardiac function in animal models is not well-defined. We hypothesized that diet-induced obesity in mice reduces strain, torsion, and synchrony in the left ventricle (LV).

METHODS: Ten 12-week-old C57BL/6 J mice were randomized to a high-fat or low-fat diet. After 5 months on …

Effect Of Arm Spasticity Grade On Blood Pressure Measurement, Chia-Min Lin, Huei-Yu Lo, Wai-Keung Lee, Meng-Tai Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Objective: The arm spasticity in patients with stroke has been proved to affect blood pressure measurement. However, earlier studies showed inconsistent results of how the spasticity affected the measurement of blood pressure. In some cases, measurement of blood pressure in patients' involved arm is necessary, so the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spasticity grade on blood pressure measurement in patients with stroke.Methods: We recruited 50 patients with hemiplegia or hemiparesis after stroke. The grade of arm spasticity was assessed using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), while the bilateral brachial artery pressure was measured using an …

Investigating The Core Competencies For Rehabilitation-Related Therapists In Three Hospitals Belonging To A Medical Association In Southern Taiwan, Hing-Man Wu, Kuo-Shu Yuan, Daniel Chiung-Jui Su, Willy Chou

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Objectives: Few studies have focused on job competency among medical-technical staff in hospitals. This study investigated the core competencies for a professional job among rehabilitation-related therapists, and examined how these competencies are applied to human resource management in hospitals, including recruitment, selection, placement, development, and promotion. Methods: A total of 113 rehabilitation-related therapists (comprising 67 physical therapists, 34 occupational therapists, and 12 speech therapists) from 3 hospitals belonging to a medical association in Southern Taiwan participated in the study. A test of competency using the ＂Nine Competencies Star＂ system developed by 1111 Job Bank was administered to the participants. The …

Exploring The Possible Effects Of Mountaineering Activities On Sports Injuries, Body Composition And Thigh Muscle Function, Yi-Ting Fang, Chen-Liang Chou, Yi-Cheng Chen, Hong-Jen Chiou, Jin-Jong Chen, Hsuci-Chen Lee, Yi-Fen Shih

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background: Mountaineering and hiking have become popular activities recently, but related research in Taiwan has focused mainly on physiological reactions, much more than on the musculoskeletal system. However, the results of studies from abroad cannot be directly transferred because of the unique mountain and forest environment in Taiwan. In addition, chronic mountaineering injuries and derivative benefits in terms of specific physical performances still await further study. Therefore, it is important to investigate the possible relationship between mountaineering activities and musculoskeletal or knee function changes. Purpose: This study seeks to compare the differences in sports injuries, body composition and thigh muscle …

The Relationship Between Heart Rate Turning Point And Anaerobic Threshold In Patients With Cardiopulmonary Diseases, Yi-Tien Su, Su-Ying Hung, Chen-Liang Chou

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background: Exercise training is an efficient way to improve physical performance. Training at an intensity of a certain level of the anaerobic threshold (AT) is a successful and frequently adopted method to increase both maximal and submaximal exercise capacity. Several methods are currently used to detect the AT. Analysis of the respiratory gas exchange allows identification of the AT and is currently advocated as the ＂gold standard＂. The heart rate turning point (HRTP) is a downward or upward change from the linear HR work relationship evidenced during incremental exercise testing and has been reported to coincide with AT. Purpose: The …

Richmond: Take My Mortgage, Please!, Emily C. Cory

Saint Louis University Public Law Review

The burst of the housing bubble brought challenges for many homeowners, as the value of their homes spiraled downward and many were forced into foreclosure. This, in turn, has caused difficulties for cities, as the vacant and abandoned neighborhoods have become a hub for blight and transience, and the tax base has steadily declined. In an effort to combat these issues, Richmond, California’s mayor, Gayle McLaughlin, has teamed up with Mortgage Resolution Partners, LLC. The pair plans to use Richmond’s power of eminent domain to “take” underwater mortgages and then refinance them, selling the new mortgages to investors. The plan, …

Advanced Earth Observation For Humanitarian Information Extraction, Chandi Witharana

Doctoral Dissertations

Advanced Earth observation (EO) is increasingly recognized as an indispensible tool to support rigorous and robust decision making in crisis management. In crisis scenarios, EO data need to be streamed through time-critical workflows for delivering reliable and effective information to civil protection authorities. In this context, the over arching goal of this research is to closely examine the integral segments of routing EO-based rapid mapping workflows to understand prevailing shortfalls and to devise novel approaches to catalyze conditioned geoinformation delivery to cater increasing user demand. This study envisions three interconnected objectives, which are primarily fuelled by very high spatial resolution …
