Background: Running has many health benefits and has therefore become a sport with an expanded popularity worldwide. With it comes an increased incidence of overuse injuries, and there is a constant debate whether the shoes a runner uses should be as supportive as possible or minimalistic in order to facilitate a more natural running pattern. Many running retail outlets use video analysis to find out whether the runner has excessive rearfoot eversion (if they overpronate) or not and prescribe ru...

The safety of a single oral dose of carprofen (11.5 mg/kg), flunixin (1 mg/kg) and phenylbutazone (1.7 mg/kg) was evaluated in the Cape Vulture (Gyps coprotheres) by means of a four-way parallel study, using two birds per treatment. Clinical observations, clinical pathology and necropsy examinations were determining factors. Clinical signs of lethargy and depression were noted in one of the carprofen (CRP), two of the flunixin (FXN) and one of the phenylbutazone (PBZ) treated birds. Serum a...

Abstract Reverse link feedback power control in subject to a feedback delay and in conjuction with diversity is considered over a frequency-nonselective slow Rayleigh fading channel. The transmission power of a mobile station is adjusted as a function of fed back estimated channel state information, so that the average error probability is minimized when the average transmission power is fixed. The channel state is estimated by using known, constant-power pilot symbols. In each frame, a time mul...

Oral Biology / M.S. / Orthodontic treatment may cause an increase in the rate of enamel decalcification on tooth surfaces, producing White Spot Lesions (WSL). Orthodontic patients are at a higher risk for decalcification because orthodontic appliances retain food debris which leads to increased plaque formation. Dental plaque, an oral biofilm formed by factors including genetics, diet, hygiene, and environment, contains acid producing bacterial strains with a predominance of Mutans Streptococcus...

<p> With the recent adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards in Oregon, there is a great need for teachers to be trained to effectively implement the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in their teaching. Time and location are the largest constraining factors that affect teacher participation in professional development trainings. To address this constraint, Tryon Creek State Park offered a NGSS professional development training opportunity for teachers that...

This pilot study was aimed at investigating with the aid of a two-tier multiple choice questionnaire, the misconceptions held by pupils in standards 8 and 10 as well as first year Biology students in the area of senior secondary school genetics. It was found that certain of the children's preconceived ideas were altered by tuition while others were unaffected by either age or tuition and consequently warranted the name misconceptions. Four misconceptions were identified in this study and these w...

Introduction: We believe perianal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is not well represented by current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging guidelines. We thus propose a modified staging system to better predict the behavior of aggressive perianal SCCs. Methods: A retrospective cohort review of 566 patients treated at the MGH and BWH for cancers involving the perianal area was performed. Data on comorbid conditions, tumor characteristics and long term outcomes was collected. Results: Fi...

Great disparities exist in women’s health outcomes in rural indigenous communities in Guatemala; indigenous women are less likely to utilize family planning and cervical cancer screening services. This pilot study assessed baseline women’s health knowledge and the effects of a comprehensive women’s health course on women’s health knowledge and behaviors. From February to November 2013, 61 participants in a seven-week language-appropriate women’s health curriculum were evaluated before and after ...

Two males with a suspected diagnosis of Alcoholic Korsakoff's Syndrome (AKS) were recruited along with two age, education-matched alcoholic controls and two comparable non-alcoholic controls. The AKS subjects were recruited on the basis of a history of alcohol abuse and anecdotal evidence to suggest memory impairment. Psychometric testing (WAIS-R, WMS-R and the NART) provided evidence to suggest that one subject was probably AKS while in the other the diagnosis was unlikely. Divided attention wi...

In this pilot study, generalizability theory was used as an exploratory analysis of the various sources of error in the scoring of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales. The different score conversions, raters, and growth of participants were the facets used in a fully crossed, random effects design. The results indicated that the score conversions effectively controlled for the variability in typically developing children in the same age range. The results showed that the raters accoun...

This thesis presents a chemical, microbiological and mathematical analysis of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) treating domestic wastewater. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of treatment of domestic wastewater in an ABR at pilot-scale, and to use this understanding to develop some guidelines for the design of ABR technology for the anaerobic treatment or pre-treatment of domestic wastewater. Previous research has been undertaken on ABR technology, but no...

The underlying mechanisms of the unilateral spatial neglect (USN), a highly prevalent and disabling consequence of stroke that responds poorly to existing interventions, remain unclear. Animal research suggests that post-stroke USN may be related in part to a disruption of visual attention mediated through the midbrain superior colliculi (SC). However, little attention has been placed on studying this mechanism in humans with post-stroke USN. / The first manuscript of this thesis presents a lite...

Knelson concentrators are the most widely used semi-continuous centrifuge separators for the recovery of gold and platinum minerals by gravity methods. Bench scale characterization studies on these units provide information about the occurrence of gold in ore samples (e.g. gold particle size distribution, amount of gold recoverable by gravity) but not about the effect of operating variables for full-scale units such as top size of particle, feed rate, fluidization flow rate and rotation speed. S...
