Blueberry pomace (BP) and cranberry pomace (CP) are good sources of dietary fiber and phenolics. This study aimed to develop berry fruit pomace-fortified specialty mustard with elevated bioactive compounds. Wet BP and CP were ground and incorporated into Dijon-style mustard at concentrations of 15, 20, and 25% (w/w). Total dietary...
Phase-space trajectories are often used to describe a system's
stability or response characteristics. It is desirable to observe such
a phase-space trajectory directly from an analog simulation of a
system, but a conventional oscilloscope display does not provide an
axis for the third variable,
A third axis could be provided...
The objectives of this study were to determine the
location and extent of populations of pygmy rabbits in Oregon,
and to describe several biotic and physical components within
communities that include pygmy rabbits. Interpretation of
aerial photographs, and information obtained from soil maps
and interviews with biologists and area residents,...
Books and literature help children and young adults develop language, cognitive, and social skills. Additionally children's literature enables individuals to develop a deeper appreciation for their own, and others' cultures and histories. This thesis analyzes the young adult historical fiction series Dear America, published by Scholastic press, and examines how...
Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create
variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal
communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach
their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper
levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans
also utilize...
Use of the Internet for health information has been gaining popularity, and some studies suggest an increase in the use of online interactive peer-to-peer forums for seeking health information. Internet health information-seeking is especially popular among those with stigmatized conditions such as obesity, and negative healthcare experiences have been linked...
Nutrient limitation constrains tree growth in many managed forests. Nitrogen (N) is the most common limiting nutrient, but high N supply can shift limitation to other nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) and the base cations calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). As different soil minerals have different capacities to supply...
This investigation examined the possible role of musculoskeletal forces in the
human walk-run transition. In order to measure these forces a treadmill was constructed
which allowed the measurement of vertical ground reaction forces while subjects walked
and ran at prescribed speeds. Validation proved the device to be accurate and reliable...
