The purpose of this study was to examine three frameworks, (a) process-product,
(b) student mediation, and (c) classroom ecology, to understand physical activity
(PA) behavior of adolescents with and without disabilities in middle school
inclusive physical education (PE). A total of 13 physical educators teaching inclusive
PE and their 503...
Many physical education teachers are not well trained to address the needs of students with disabilities in an inclusive physical education class despite inclusion being a general educational policy (Rust & Sinelnikov, 2010). This lack of training could be improved through well-designed physical education teacher education (PETE) curriculum. This article...
Road racing shoes have recently evolved to incorporate maximal midsole cushioning and an embedded carbon fiber plate. Shoes in this category have been labeled ‘Advanced Footwear Technology’ (AFT) and may significantly contribute to improvements in running economy, in part due to biomechanical changes at the foot and ankle. However, little...
Acetylene is a slow-binding inhibitor of the Ni- and Fe-containing dimeric hydrogenase isolated
from Azotobacter vinelandii. Acetylene was released from hydrogenase during the recovery from inhibition.
This indicates that no transformation of acetylene to another compound occurred as a result of the interaction
with hydrogenase. However, the release of C2H2...
Shrimp shell powders (SSP) were fermented by successive two-step fermentation of Serratia marcescens B742 and Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 to extract chitin. Taguchi experimental design with orthogonal array was employed to investigate the most contributing factors on each of the one-step fermentation first. The identified optimal fermentation conditions for extracting...
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a cause of hepatitis in humans worldwide. Recently, persistent and chronic HEV infections have been recognized as a serious clinical problem, especially in immunocompromised individuals. To date, there are no FDA-approved HEV-specific antiviral drugs. In this study, we designed and evaluated antisense peptide-conjugated morpholino...
In a wireless sensor network, sensor nodes are deployed in an ad hoc fashion and they deliver data packets using multihop transmission. However, transmission failures occur frequently in the multihop transmission over wireless media. Thus, a loss recovery mechanism is required to provide end-to-end reliability. In addition, because the sensor...
The literature on religiousness, spirituality (R/S), and health has increased dramatically in
the past decade, but suffers from a lack of integrative theoretical models and well-defined
constructs. Drawing on self-regulation theory, we hypothesized that the effects of religiousness
(e.g., affiliation, service attendance) on health affects behavioral self-regulation of health habits;...
The effects of nanoparticle addition on the multi-step debinding of injection molded
aluminum nitride (AlN) samples were studied. Experiments varying the solvent
debinding conditions (time, temperature and aspect ratio) were performed on monomodal,
microscale (μ) and bimodal, micro-nanoscale (μ-n) AlN samples. Variations in the
solvent debinding kinetics as a result...
The coexistence problem occurs when a single wireless body area network (WBAN) is located within a multiple-WBAN
environment. This causes WBANs to suffer from severe channel interference that degrades the communication performance of each
WBAN. Since a WBAN handles vital signs that affect human life, the detection or prediction of...
