Few studies have examined the acute effects of
resistive-type exercise on lipid-lipoprotein profiles. This
study examined the acute effects of a single session of
circuit weight training (CWT) on plasma lipid-lipoprotein
profiles: triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the ratio...
The COVID-19 pandemic was thought to be especially difficult for older adults, with high risks for social isolation due to the lockdowns necessitated by the pandemic. This study sought to understand the extent to which these community-residing older adults were receiving and providing social support. Further, we sought to disentangle...
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a critical component of the carbon cycle linking terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although many factors influence DOM fluxes and quality in rivers, controls on DOM compositions in catchments of the western U.S. are poorly understood. UV and fluorescent spectroscopy is a simpler, faster, and less...
The Metolius River basin is a sub-basin of the Deschutes Basin within central Oregon. Considered one of the crown jewels of the state, this historically undisturbed basin drew attention in 2009 because the Oregon legislature designated the basin as the first Area of Critical State Concern (ACSC) under the state’s...
Real-world datasets are dirty and contain many errors. Examples of these issues are violations of integrity constraints, duplicates, and inconsistencies in representing data values and entities. Applying machine learning on dirty databases may lead to inaccurate results. Users have to spend a lot of time and effort repairing data errors...
The objectives of this study were: a) to obtain and evaluate
equipment for bio-acoustical analysis for this work and for future
work in the analysis of insect sounds, b) to study the acoustical and
sexual behavior of Acheta domesticus L., and c) to determine methods
for analyzing the changes effected...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate
consumer knowledge and attitudes toward consumer education
of college students in secondary teacher education
preparatory programs in Korea.
Specifically, this study was aimed to 1) measure the
degree of consumer knowledge of college students in
secondary teacher education preparatory programs, 2)...
This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for
Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall
Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation for Wall-Braced Wall Stud
Columns.
The purpose of Part A is to develop experimentally-based limiting heights...
A two-dimensional numerical mesoscale model, which ic1udes
radiative and turbulent transfers, has been constructed to study the
formation, development and dissipation of coastal stratus cloud
under an inversion. In the model, the delta-Eddington and emissivity
approximations are used for the solar and thermal radiative
transfers, respectively. K-theory parameterization is adopted...
