- Morphological analysis of beach profiles in relation to shoreline change.

- Abstract/Description
-
Investigations into coastal erosion and accretion characteristically examine changes in shoreline position to determine predictive rates of change. Results of such investigations normally focus on the applicability of mathematical equations or statistical techniques to describe the nearshore sedimentary environment. This thesis integrates various methods of shoreline analysis and extends the focus to include coastal morphology and morphodynamics. Coastal geomorphology is often based on...
Show moreInvestigations into coastal erosion and accretion characteristically examine changes in shoreline position to determine predictive rates of change. Results of such investigations normally focus on the applicability of mathematical equations or statistical techniques to describe the nearshore sedimentary environment. This thesis integrates various methods of shoreline analysis and extends the focus to include coastal morphology and morphodynamics. Coastal geomorphology is often based on analysis of coastal forms using cross-shore profiles and interpretation of planforms from aerial photographs and other remotely sensed data. Periodic topographic and nearshore bathymetric surveys constitute spatio-temporal data which permit assessment of coastal erosion and accretion. Such changes can be effectively studied through morphological analysis of the spatial and temporal components of nearshore sediment distribution and coastal profile change. This thesis describes the observed changes in shoreline position and corresponding estimates of sediment volume change with alteration in beach profile. Additionally, Principal Component Analysis is applied to quantify total profile variability. Computer programming is utilized for profile generation and volume calculations and comparisons within a geographic information system, allowing other forms of spatial data to be simultaneously analyzed.

- Title
- THE INFLUENCE OF BODY POSITION ON LOAD RANGE DURING ISOKINETIC KNEE EXTENSION/FLEXION.
- Creator
- Brian W. Findley, Lee E. Brown, Michael Whitehurst
- Abstract/Description
-
Isokinetic range of motion (ROM) has three distinct phases: rate of velocity development (RVD), load range (LR), and deceleration (DCC). The purpose of this study was to determine if differences in isokinetic knee extension/flexion LR exist between body positions. Ten subjects (4 males and 6 females, age 29.3 ± 5.4 yrs, ht 1.71 ± 0.10 m, wt 71.9 ± 12.9 kg) volunteered to participate in the seated vs. prone investigation and nine different subjects (4 males and 5 females, age 29.5 ± 6.9 yrs,...

Ten subjects (4 males and 6 females, age 29.3 ± 5.4 yrs, ht 1.71 ± 0.10 m, wt 71.9 ± 12.9 kg) volunteered to participate in the seated vs. prone investigation and nine different subjects (4 males and 5 females, age 29.5 ± 6.9 yrs, ht 1.72 ± 0.09 m, wt 69.0 ± 13.8 kg) volunteered to participate in the seated vs. supine study. Each subject completed 3 maximal reciprocal concentric/concentric repetitions of dominant knee extension/flexion on a Biodex System 2 isokinetic dynamometer at 60, 120, 180, 240 and 360 deg·sec-1 in the supine or prone and seated positions. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that only seated flexion at 360 deg·sec-1 (57.6 ± 1.7 degrees) elicited significantly (p < 0.05) greater LR than prone (49.2 ± 2.8 degrees). No significant differences in LR extension or flexion existed at any velocity between the supine vs. seated positions. ANOVA also demonstrated differences between seated vs. prone torque, work and power at most velocities while there was no difference between seated vs. supine. LR is the only phase of an isokinetic repetition where quantifiable resistance is maintained and this data appears to support that it may not be position-dependent but position may alter traditional performance variables.
