Over the last 60 years, supplemental strength and conditioning for improving sport performance has gone from being nearly non-existent to a cornerstone feature of elite collegiate, amateur, and professional athletics. Concurrent with this profession-related evolution, technologies for monitoring and tracking physical performance have become more prevalent and useful. As an...
This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...
The purpose of this study was to investigate what effect, if any, an outdoor orientation program conducted at a comprehensive public institution in the Northwest school had on first-year students' self-efficacy relative to success in their first year of college, measured as academic and social integration. A random sample of...
The purpose of this study was to investigate physical education
and sport in Thailand and, based upon expert opinion, to develop a
blueprint of physical education and sport for the nation building of
Thailand. The investigation concentrated on the history, role and
function, purpose of governmental involvement, and future prospects...
The objective was to compare the acute-phase response of steers receiving different doses of bovine corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Fourteen weaned Angus steers (BW = 191 ± 2.1 kg, age = 167 ± 4.7 d) fitted with an indwelling jugular catheter and a rectal temperature (RT) monitoring device were assigned to...
The Oregon Coastal Atlas (http://www.coastalatlas.net), a collaboration of the Oregon Coastal Management Program, Oregon State University and Ecotrust, is an interactive map, data, and metadata portal targeted at coastal managers, scientists, and the general public. The site was developed to meet long-standing needs in the state for improving information retrieval,...
Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (CPX) is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis
of tetrapyrroles, catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to
protoporphyrinogen IX. In bacteria and yeast this enzyme is cytosolic, in animals it is
mitochondrial, and in each it functions to produce heme. However, in all plants
investigated, the...
Spatialization is an innovative way to expand searching capabilities for a
marine/coastal reference database by using a metaphorical map framework to establish
a sense of place for non-spatial information. Spatializing the Catalogue of Oregon
Marine and Coastal Information (COMC1), a coastal reference database, enables the
marine and coastal resource community...
