The treatment of certain types of cancers brings with it serious physiological and
psychological side effects in cancer survivors, including: decreased aerobic capacity,
muscle wasting, body composition changes, fatigue, and a diminished overall quality of
life. Exercise may directly influence the physiological side effects of cancer and cancer
treatment, and...
The purpose of this study was to develop a profile
of Christian College physical education faculty members
regarding their academic preparation, professional
experience, and selected duties, as well as to identify
important components of graduate preparation at the
doctoral level for future faculty at these
institutions.
A survey instrument was...
If wind power is to become a viable energy alternative, a rapid and reliable cost effective methodology must be established, whereby large areas can be surveyed for windy sites and those sites can be evaluated. Based primarily on locating wind deformed vegetation, this paper establishes the feasibility of using air...
Aerial videography in combination with GPS were used to monitor the
active surge of Alaska's Bering Glacier. The large aerial extent of the study area and the
unpredictable weather in coastal Alaska required innovative techniques to be used in
order to successfully monitor the surge environment. A portable aerial videographic...
The semantic differential technique was used to
quantify four interest groups' perceptions of twenty-six
Alaskan scenes. The scenes represented both panoramic views
and views of Mount McKinley from different sites in southcentral
Alaska. The perceptions were measured on six semantic
scales ("ugly-beautiful", "dislike-like", "unpleasantpleasant",
"unstimulating-stimulating", "level-mountainous",
and 'monotonous-varied"), and the...
Small-scale fisheries are no exceptions to the requirements of staying within the biological bounds of sustainability, by purposively limiting fish harvests, and of maintaining productivity of oceans and freshwater systems, by protecting ecosystem health and habitat quality. However, while these fisheries, like all others, have the potential to pose conservation...
This paper explores how the implementation of appropriate policy measures and underlying institutions can support sustainability and resilience in fishery systems. The policies discussed fall into three categories. First are those relating directly to fishery management, including the development of a management portfolio, application of the precautionary approach, and implementation...
