Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of Health Education for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (HEMS) on increasing physical activity (PA) behavior and constructs of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), such as outcome expectations, self-efficacy, social support, and goal achievement in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Results have shown there is little translational...
Autonomous buoys were deployed in 2011 in the central Arctic: An Ice-Tethered Profiler (ITP) and Ice Mass Balance (IMB) buoys were deployed in the Makarov basin; a Polar Ocean Profiling System (POPS) and Ice Thickness (Ice-T) buoy were deployed on the Eurasian Basin. The two different sites were approximately 70km...
INTRODUCTION: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been shown to possess relative strengths in processing visual stimuli as opposed to verbal stimuli (Tissot & Evans, 2003). Therefore, instructional strategies that use visual means and presentations are recommended over the traditional (verbal) instruction. The effectiveness of video modeling has been...
Obesity is achieved at the point where fat accumulation begins to exert deleterious effects on an organism. The human body accrues fat when there is an energy imbalance occurring, where caloric intake exceeds expenditure.Many anti-obesity drugs used in the past have had undesirable side effects, and currently there is a...
The Community Engagement Core of OSU's Superfund Research Program aims to increase cultural capacity among university scientists while simultaneously supporting research focused on reducing health disparities for Pacific Northwest Tribes originating from harmful chemical exposures in the environment.
- Collagen fibers are found in 25% of the whole body
protein content. They are highly adhesive to cells and
can be used as scaffold proteins that can promote cell
growth and be used to capture cells.
- In our lab, we use collagen to capture cancer cells in
order...
We developed an integration-based line detection algorithm. Existing line detection methods such as the Hough Transformation (HT) and its variants are insensitive to image noise. The reason is that HT finds lines by calculating the gradient of the image and assumes that the region where the gradient is the steepest...

As scientific technologies and techniques have improved in past decades, it has become
possible to quickly collect unprecedented quantities of experimental data. In the study of gene expression, for instance, datasets comprising tens of thousands of variables and hundreds of treatments can be produced in a matter of months. When...
