The foraminiferal population of Yaquina Bay was investigated
to attempt a correlation of seasonal changes in the hydrography with
observed changes in the faunal distribution patterns. The results
are based on data from two spatial surveys conducted in July 1966,
and late February and March, 1967.
The hydrography of Yaquina...
Emergency departments (ED) provide access to care for large numbers of patients who have nonemergent medical needs. More than half of the patients presenting to the ED at Salem Hospital in Salem, Oregon, were found to be seeking care for nonemergent medical needs. In an effort to provide an alternative...
Interrelationships among attitudes toward and practice
of nutrition and health were determined from results of
335 responses to a survey mailed to members of a prepaid
health plan in Portland, Oregon, in the Spring of 1981.
The scales used to test attitudes included Subjective
Index of General Well-Being, Health Locus...
The present study was designed to investigate the
effects of exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism. Four groups
of subjects (intermittent, college, untrained, and high school)
consisting of nineteen male and two female individuals, participated
in the study. The subjects exercised either on a
bicycle ergometer, by running three 1500 meter...
Previous studies have found that smoking may have a negative effect on
vitamin B-6 indices and have demonstrated a possible association between smoking
and depressed plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) concentration. Individuals with
plasma PLP values below the adequate level of 30 nmoles/L might benefit from
consumption of vitamin B-6 supplements, but...
The study was designed to indirectly understand muscle
glycogen utilization during prolonged exercise when either
glucose, fructose, or water is ingested. Eight trained
adult males exercised on a cycle ergometer at 58±7% of V02
max for 2 h on 2-4 occasions. At 0 minutes of exercise and
at 30-minute intervals...
This investigation consisted of two parts: A. stability, B.
bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in wheat. Three variables; whole wheat
flour (WHW), white flour (W) and W enriched with vitamin B₆ (WB₆)
were tested.
Stability of vitamin B₆ during bread making and storage of
bread and flour was determined. Bread was...
The purpose of the research was to investigate the chemical
composition of five starches and the physical characteristics of their
respective starch pastes as these properties relate to the characteristics
of starch-structured breads. Starch-structured breads were prepared
with five starches, corn, wheat, potato, arrowroot and waxy
maize, used as granular...
Chemicals must be bioavailable for there to be a potential for exposure and consequent risk to human or environmental health. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are used to quantify the time-integrated concentration of bioavailable contaminants. We demonstrate that PSDs can be paired with the zebrafish developmental toxicity bioassay to produce site-specific,...
