Muscular strength of active men, 25 to 64 years of age

Creator:: LeMarr, John D.
Abstract:: This study measured muscular strength and perceived exertion of active men, 25 to 64 years old. The subjects were 80 members of a large YMCA, with 20 active men chosen from each of the following age groups: 25-34, 35-44, 45-54,and 55-64. Measurement of strength consisted of assessing the maximum weight...

Vacuum ultraviolet absorption studies of model sugar compounds

Creator:: Dickinson, Helen Rose
Abstract:: Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of 13 model sugar compounds were measured in the energy range of 50 to 80 kK. The model sugars included three simple alcohols, four simple ethers, four cyclic alcohol-ether compounds, and two dioxanes. All spectra show transition bands in the energy region 50 to 65 kK....

Detecting fluid flows with bioinspired hair sensors

Creator:: Dickinson, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Many animals detect prey or enhance their locomotion with information from hair-like receptors that are activated by local fluid flows. The utility of biological hair receptors has motivated the design of artificial hair sensors (AHS) for flow control applications where aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces play a significant role in the...

Hydrological consequences of two native shrubs in semi-arid Senegal : patterns, processes, concepts and methods

Creator:: Kizito, Fred
Abstract:: Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these water-limited ecosystems....

Vitamin E and K interactions : investigating mechanisms of reduced vitamin K status in response to excess vitamin E

Creator:: Farley, Sherry Mae
Abstract:: The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...

Techniques for identifying flood plains in Oregon

Creator:: Reckendorf, Frank Fred
Abstract:: Seven methods for delineating flood plains were evaluated. The methods are classified : (1) Geomorphic Technique; (2) Soils Technique; (3) Botanical Technique; (4) Hydrologic Technique; (5) Hydrologic- Hydraulic Technique; (6) Historical Technique; and (7) "Combination Method". All of the methods, except the Botanical Technique and the Hydrologic-Hydraulic Technique, were compared...

Vitamin E and the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein during zebrafish embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W.
Abstract:: Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...

Developmental ramifications of dithiocarbamate pesticide exposure in zebrafish

Creator:: Tilton, Fred Anthony, 1973-
Abstract:: Dithiocarbamates are widely used agricultural pesticides, industrial chemicals and effluent additives. DTCs and their related compounds have historical and current relevance in clinical and experimental medicine. DTC developmental toxicity is well established, but poorly understood. Dithiocarbamates according to the U.S. EPA have a mechanism of action involving, "the inhibition of...

The role of the plasminogen activator system in the etiology of ovarian follicular cysts in dairy cattle

Creator:: McNeel, Anthony Kent
Abstract:: Cystic ovarian disease (COD) is an anovulatory condition in cattle that afflicts between 6-18% of all dairy cows in the US. Ovulation is dependent on the plasminogen activator (PA) family of proteases and protease inhibitor for proteolysis, culminating in follicular rupture. Failure of the follicle to ovulate suggests an aberration...
