The purpose of this study was to examine pressure at
five selected sites on the plantar surface of the foot and
adaptations in running kinematics among fourteen male
varsity collegiate distance runners on five different
surfaces--asphalt, cinders, concrete, grass, and tartan.
Pressure data were collected with an Electrodynogram system
(EDG)...
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the level of nutrition
knowledge and degree of competitiveness in high school wrestlers and their coaches
and to look at the differences between groups. Twelve schools participated in the study
and a total of 180 wrestlers and 29 coaches (12 head...
The Boltzmann transport equation derived in the Self-Adjoint Angular Flux (SAAF) formulation is applied to simulate phonon transport. The neutron transport code Rattlesnake is leveraged in this fashion, slightly modi ed to accept input from variables consistent with phonon transport simulations. Several benchmark problems are modeled to assess the potential...
Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...
The purpose of this project was to explore health and nutrition concerns and priorities of parents and caregivers of children enrolled in Kids and Company (KidCo) Head Start using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The project examined the feasibility of conducting CBPR with Head Start in the relatively short timeframe...
Background. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social-communicative deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities (APA, 2013). While current estimates suggest 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with ASD, more alarming statistics indicate 1 in 50 school-aged children live with the disorder (Blumberg, Bramlett, Kogan,...
