  • Biorhythms' relation to industrial accidents

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Richard Orin
    Abstract:
    The theory of Biorhythms is an up and coming topic. Its founding fathers: Dr, Fliess, Dr. Swoboda, and Dr. Teltsher discovered the 23 day physical 28 day sensitivity, and 33 day Intellectual cycles around the turn of the century. Today, biorhythms are being looked at and studied from many different...

  • Circadian rhythms in Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) and Nomia melanderi Cockerell

    Creator:
    Tweedy, David Graham
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to determine an emergence rhythm, its period, and the developmental stages susceptible to emergence synchronization in the leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). An attempt was made to determine if an oxygen consumption rhythm was present in the pupal and adult stages of the alkali...

  • Investigation of the circadian rhythm of locomotion in the rough-skinned newt, Taricha granulosa

    Creator:
    Briggs, Jeffrey Lawrence
    Abstract:
    Over 56,000 hours of locomotor activity of Taricha granulosa were recorded using two types of low cylindrical plastic monitoring chambers. This species shows distinct rhythms of activity under normal day-night cycles, shortened day-night cycles, constant darkness (DD) and constant light (LL). The rough-skinned newt is day active and crepuscular. I...

    Abstract:
    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...

  • The relationship between biorhythms and injuries in female college gymnastic participants

    Creator:
    Chiang, Kai-sun
    Abstract:
    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...
