Defining intensity of skeletal loading in children

Creator:

Bauer, Jeremy J.

Abstract:

While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:

Sierra, Carlos Alberto

Abstract:

Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...
