  • Perceived food autonomy : measurement and relationships with food satisfaction among assisted living residents

    Creator:
    Jambi, Hanan A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop an instrument to measure perceived food autonomy (PFA) among cognitively alert residents in state licensed Assisted Living (AL) facilities, and to investigate the influence of PFA on food satisfaction, while controlling for functional (physical, social, and psychological) status, general health, and...

  • Influencing fourth grade students' conceptual change about light propagation

    Creator:
    Hsieh, Jinmeei Kuo
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine whether teaching materials designed around fourth graders' preconceptions effectively produced conceptual change about light propagation. Four Taiwanese fourth-grade intact classes (194 subjects), taught by two teachers, participated in this study. The experimental group was exposed to the conceptual change materials (CCM), and...

  • Characterization of the LeIAA family of auxin-regulated genes in tomato (Lycopericon esculentum, Mill.)

    Creator:
    Nebenfuhr, Andreas
    Abstract:
    The plant hormone auxin regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. At the cellular level, auxin can stimulate cell division, cell elongation, and cell differentiation. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that mediate auxin action at this level, although changes in gene expression have been implicated in each...

  • Characterization of phenolics in Marion and Evergreen blackberries

    Creator:
    Siriwoharn, Thanyaporn
    Abstract:
    Frozen Marion (Rubus sp. hyb) and Evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus) (whole berries, berries without seeds, and seeds alone) were acetone/ chloroform extracted. Phenolics were isolated using C₁₈ cartridges and polyamide resins, then characterized and measured by reversed-phase HPLC/diode array spectral techniques. The Polyamide isolated fractions of Marion berries contained four...

  • The effect of two levels of glucose ingestion on plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate concentration

    Creator:
    Huang, Ying-Hui
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to evaluate the effect of glucose on plasma pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP) concentration. The objective was to determine whether there was a negative relationship between glucose ingestion and plasma PLP concentration and to evaluate the possible mechanism of decreased PLP after acute glucose ingestion. Seven healthy...

  • Influence of cultivar and maturity on blackberry polyphenolics and investigation of sediment formation in blackberry juice

    Creator:
    Siriwoharn, Thanyaporn
    Abstract:
    The influence of cultivar and maturity on polyphenolic composition and antioxidant activity was investigated by UV-Visible spectrophotometry and analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in commercially important blackberry cultivars and selections. The anthocyanin pigments changed tremendously with ripening. Total anthocyanins increased from 74.7-317 mg/100g fw from underripe to over ripe...
