The purpose of this study was to examine the relativeeffectiveness of functional isometric squats on thedevelopment of dynamic strength, static strength and powerof college males. Ten college males volunteered for thestudy. The subjects trained two days per week for a totalof eight weeks which consisted of a two week preconditioningperiod...
I examined, in three separate studies, the active chromatin
structure of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Yeast contains four proteins having amino acid compositions
typical of the high mobility group (HMG) proteins. Three of these
are eluted from chromatin by 0.35 M NaCl; one is not, but is eluted
by 0.25...
I have investigated nucleoprotein organization in
chromatin of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. My
approach has been to prepare insoluble, minimally per
turbed chromatin from a mitochondrial DNA-free strain of
yeast, using a number of new techniques, and then digest
this substrate with micrococcal nuclease. The soluble
products are electrophoresed on...
Biorhythm theory proponents believe that humans have
a 23-day physical cycle, a 28-day emotional cycle, and a
33-day intellectual cycle. According to biorhythm theories
a person in the positive portion of any single cycle, the performance potential is enhanced for those tasks related to
that particular rhythm. When each cycle...
Purpose: The general problem was to determine the relationship between biorhythms and injuries to college football participants representing Oregon State University. Procedures: The population consisted of one hundred and ninty two football players representing Oregon State University who participated in the intercollegiate football seasons of 1981 and 1982. Injury data...
Composition and structure of Oregon ash
(Fraxinus latifolia) woodlands in the William L. Finley
National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon are described. Twenty
stands dominated by Fraxinus latifolia were sampled with
500 m2 circular macroplots in which floristic microplot
data were collected for plant community synthesis. Plant
communities were identified by computer-assisted...
Ninety-two physicians from six different medical specialty
areas were participants in an opinion survey concerning corporate
executive fitness. The survey was comprised of 21 statements
related to such areas as fitness, nutrition, implementation
of specific programs and cost effectiveness. Descriptive
research methods were utilized to analyze results.
Physicians surveyed were...
Level of aspiration plays a part in achievement motivation which
supports teaching/learning in motor performances. In the past,
females reported poorer ability in performances, set lower levels of
aspiration, and had lesser achievement motives than males (Crandall,
1969; Stein & Bailey, 1973; Sumner & Johnson, 1949). Some researchers
found there...
The purpose of this study was to examine how accurate classroom
teachers' observations are for identifying high and low motor
performances.
In order to assess teacher accuracy in rating motor performance,
an analysis was conducted on students' scores on the Short Form of
the Bruininks - Oseretsky Test of Motor...
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect
of experimenter delivered and microcomputer delivered
knowledge of results on the response speed of nonretarded
and mentally retarded public school students. Response
speed was measured for 63 nonretarded students and 63
mentally retarded students. Subjects were randomly
assigned to conditions...
The purpose of this study was to determine if differences exist among NCAA
divisions I, II and III as well as between Athletic Directors and Primary Women Administrators
with regard to the perceived competencies and preparatory coursework required
of athletic administrators.
A mail survey utilizing a six point forced choice...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness, if any, of ten weeks of motor psychophysics training on the
development of dynamic muscular strength (as measured by the bench
press and squat) in male college athletes and non-athletes.
Procedures: This study was conducted during the first (spring)...
The goal of this study was to determine if the cardiorespiratory adaptations to an eight-week circuit weight training program are better measured with a biokinetic swim-bench test versus a standard treadmill test. The working hypothesis of the study was that since standard circuit weight training programs stress the upper body...
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) seed production
practices in Oregon are different from those in Australia.
There, seed is produced on fields which are managed primarily for
forage. In Oregon, seed fields are managed for seed as the primary
product and forage is of secondary concern.
Some sheep grazing is...
Some perennial grass seed crops such as red fescue (Festuca rubra
L.) do not produce a profitable seed crop during the first growing
season. The present establishment method in Oregon for red fescue seed
crops generally entails spring planting which does not satisfy
vernalization requirements for seed production in the...
Two experiments were conducted each with 768 Deka lb XL Single Comb
White Leghorn (SCWL) laying pullets for nine and eight 28-day periods to evaluate
the feeding value of yellow pea (YP) (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda) without and
with, respectively, either 1.5 or 5% meat and bone meal (MB)...
Along with the increased attention in the past two decades on the values of wetlands and the documentation of great losses of wetland acreage has been a growing need for a comprehensive assessment method for analyzing the functions of a wetland. Detailed site-specific study has been the traditional method for...
This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...
The goal of this study was to gather information on the autecology,
reproductive ecology, and population dynamics of Astragalus australis
var. olympicus as a baseline for conservation strategies and to help
explain its restricted range. Approximately four thousand
individuals occurred in four known population centers in the Olympic
Mountains, Olympic...
Phacelia capitata Rruckeberg is a member of the
Phacelia magellanica polyploid complex (species group
Magellanicae), a group of wide-ranging, polymorphic
perennials in western North America related to the South
American P. secunda (= P. magellanica). The purpose of
this project was to determine, to the extent possible, the
interrelationships of...
