Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 46(2):211‐226. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2010.00426.x Abstract: This paper proposes a conceptual model that captures key attributes ecologically functional floodplains, encompassing three basic elements: (1) hydrologic connectivity between river floodplain, (2)...
Behavior modification procedures have typically been used to eliminate discipline problems in the classroom through reinforcement of nondisruptive behavior. This report demonstrates an alternative approach whereby are eliminated by reinforcing relevant academic skills. Five fifth‐grade boys, identified their teacher as problems, were observed. The conducted 15‐min performance sessions her reading class during which written and disruptive behavior recorded. These measures indicated that boys'...
purpose. To characterize the trabeculated connective tissue microarchitecture of lamina cribrosa (LC) in terms total volume (CTV), fraction (CTVF), predominant beam orientation, and material anisotropy monkeys with early experimental glaucoma (EG). methods. The optic nerve heads from three unilateral EG four bilaterally normal were dimensionally reconstructed tissues perfusion fixed at an intraocular pressure 10 mm Hg. A three-dimensional segmentation algorithm was used to extract a binary,...
To quantify the lamina cribrosa insertion into peripapillary sclera and optic nerve pia in normal (N) early experimental glaucoma (EEG) monkey eyes.Perfusion-fixed heads (ONHs) from 21 animals were digitally reconstructed three dimensionally delineated. Anterior Laminar Insertion Position (ALIP), Posterior (PLIP), Length (LIL; distance between anterior posterior laminar insertions), Scleral Thickness (at Sub-arachnoid space) calculated for each ONH. Animals pooled four groups based on kill...
To study the anterior-posterior lamina cribrosa deformation (LCD) and scleral canal expansion (SCE) produced by an increase in IOP identify main factors interactions that determine these responses monkey.
Skeletal muscle is highly adaptable and has consistently been shown to morphologically respond exercise training. growth during periods of resistance training traditionally referred as skeletal hypertrophy, this manifests increases in mass, thickness, area, volume, fiber cross-sectional area (fCSA). Delicate electron microscopy biochemical techniques have also used demonstrate that promotes ultrastructural adaptations within fibers. Decades research physiology promulgated a widespread...
Purpose.: To investigate the biomechanical response to IOP elevation of normal monkey eyes using eye-specific, three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) models ONH that incorporate lamina cribrosa (LC) microarchitectural information. Methods.: A serial sectioning and episcopic imaging technique was used reconstruct peripapillary sclera four pairs fixed at 10 mm Hg. FE were generated with local LC material properties representing connective tissue volume fraction (CTVF) predominant beam...
Purpose.: To retest the hypothesis that monkey ONH connective tissues become hypercompliant in early experimental glaucoma (EEG), by using 3-D histomorphometric reconstructions, and to expand characterization of EEG tissue deformation nine eyes. Methods.: Trephinated peripapillary sclera from both eyes monkeys were perfusion fixed, with one normal eye at IOP 10 mm Hg other (n = 3), 30 or 45 3) serial sectioned, reconstructed, delineated, quantified reconstruction techniques developed prior...
Purpose.: To study the association between intraocular pressure (IOP)–induced anterior–posterior lamina cribrosa deformation (LCD) and scleral canal expansion (SCE). Methods.: 3D eye-specific models of sclera eyes three normal monkeys were constructed. Morphing techniques used to produce 768 with controlled variations in geometry materials. Finite element analysis was predict LCD SCE resulting from an increase IOP. We analyzed for population as a whole, subsets. Results.: For some...
Adopting low carbohydrate, ketogenic diets remains a controversial issue for individuals who resistance train given that this form of dieting has been speculated to reduce skeletal muscle glycogen levels and stifle anabolism. We sought characterize the effects 12-week diet (KD) on body composition, metabolic, performance parameters in participants trained recreationally at local CrossFit facility. Twelve (nine males three females, 31 ± 2 years age, 80.3 5.1 kg mass, 22.9 2.3% fat, 1.37 back...

Effects of ketogenic dieting on body composition, strength, power, hormonal profiles in resistance training men. J Strength Cond Res 34(12): 3463-3474, 2020-This study investigated the impact an isocaloric isonitrogenous diet (KD) versus a traditional western (WD) changes performance, blood lipids, resistance-trained athletes. Twenty-five college-aged men were divided into KD or WD from...
We sought to identify biomarkers which delineated individual hypertrophic responses resistance training. Untrained, college-aged males engaged in full-body training (3 d/wk) for 12 weeks. Body composition via dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), vastus lateralis (VL) thickness ultrasound, blood, VL muscle biopsies, and three-repetition maximum (3-RM) squat strength were obtained prior (PRE) following (POST) weeks of K-means cluster analysis based on changes identified LOW [n = 17; change...
Cellular adaptations that occur during skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to high-volume resistance training are not well-characterized. Therefore, we sought explore how actin, myosin, sarcoplasmic protein, mitochondrial, and glycogen concentrations were altered individuals exhibited mean fiber cross-sectional area (fCSA) following 6 weeks of training. Thirty previously resistance-trained, college-aged males (mean ± standard deviation: 21±2 years, 5±3 years) had vastus lateralis (VL)...
Abstract Background Cancer Anorexia Cachexia Syndrome (CACS) is a distinct atrophy disease negatively influencing multiple aspects of clinical care and patient quality life. Although it directly causes 20% all cancer‐related deaths, there are currently no model systems that encompass the entire multifaceted syndrome, nor any effective therapeutic treatments. Methods A novel systemic metastasis was evaluated for comprehensive CACS (metastasis, skeletal muscle adipose tissue wasting,...
