We investigated the relation between selected anthropometric and training variables personal best time in a marathon with total race 66 Caucasian male nonprofessional ultrarunners 100-km run. In multiple linear regression analysis, average weekly volume kilometers (r2 = 0.224, p < 0.01) 0.334, were significantly associated time, whereas no variable was related to performance (p > 0.05). conclude that high fast more important for runners than any of determined variables.

Inter- and intra-judge reliabilities of skinfold measures were investigated in a sample 27 men 11 women ultramarathon runners. Two physicians had agreement higher than 90% field measurements before an race.

INTRODUCTION Many institutions have open access (OA) policies that require faculty members to deposit their articles in an institutional repository (IR). A clear motivation is a policy will result increased self-archiving. The purpose of this longitudinal study compare the impact campus-wide OA and mediated solicitation author manuscripts, using quantitative analysis determine rate article deposits over time. METHODS Metadata for published by authors at Oregon State University between 2011...

Trauma in general, and head injury particular, is the most frequent cause of mortality morbidity those aged up to 45 years. Outcome from severe depends on nature severity primary lesion, manifestations secondary brain damage extra- intracranial origin. The important sequela cerebral ischaemia resulting hypertension caused by, for example, traumatic swelling or haemorrhage and/or systemic complications, which arterial hypotension significant. Because treatment so far limited principle general...

Summary Immediate adaptation to experimental‐balancing interferences is known affect jaw kinematics and electromyographic activity ( EMG ). However, little about the influence on masticatory performance parameters. This study hypothesises that balancing‐side significantly reduce of system. Twenty‐one healthy subjects (eleven female, mean age: 24·1 ± 1·2 years) chewed standardised silicone cubes performing 15 cycles right side under three experimental conditions: (i) natural dentition ND ),...

This experiment examined the effects of pattern disconfirming information (concentrated vs. dispersed) and processing instructions (focus on similarities differences control) stereotype change. If subtyping perceived typicality are central to change process, then designed affect these processes should stereotyping. There was lower stereotyping when perceivers focused between group members, after exposure a dispersed information. Only main effect mediated by disconfirmers, but not an index...

The concept of access to natural resources has been a specific concern economists and ecologists is distinct component in recent models social sustainability. Using series conceptual empirical examples, this article extends the notion broadly institutions sociocultural norms. We argue that may be usefully construed as an analytic tool direct applicability many sustainability issues it allows for crossdisciplinary public engagement. Here access, linked Amartya Sen's theory capabilities, also...

This article seeks to make a compelling case for authors’ rights training through emphasis on academic librarians’ dual roles as both authors and liaisons research teaching faculty. Using the example of Rights Well Workshop developed at Oregon State University Libraries, demonstrates value librarians in order further develop their own understanding copyright transfer negotiation. The workshop provides customizable model that can use when educating faculty other disciplines about author...

Ultra-endurance events test the adaptation of human physiology to extreme physical and mental demands, high levels training, motivation, conditioning among participants. To understand basic differences participants according severity race, in qualifying for two ultra-endurance cycling races, differing length intensity, were compared on measures anthropometry, support. One race was four times longer, required supporting teams, racers typically had little sleep, which should lead qualifiers...

Library faculty are often tenure track, requiring a record of significant publishing and service before achieving tenure. However, meaningful tools methods for evaluating the scholarship librarianship frequently fall short providing an accurate picture any particular candidate. The authors conducted case study analyzing research output Oregon State University (OSU) Libraries’ using Boyer Classifications1 Blake’s methodologies.2 Broadening our view acceptable formats outlets learning how to...

Using citation analysis, the authors examined journals cited in theses and dissertations over first five years of Water Resources Graduate Program at Oregon State University. These journal titles were compared to predicted as being important 2003 University Libraries new program (Category I) review. A preliminary core list for this highly interdisciplinary had been created Category I review from faculty publications, Journal Citation Reports, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests. Through...

ticTOCs, a new journal table of contents service, provides users free resource for managing RSS feeds content from selected journals. This service could be used as complement and in some cases an alternative to other providers. Using provided by publishers, ticTOCs easy-to-use interface finding, viewing, saving current tables contents. The also OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) file exports so that can incorporate the they find into feed reader their choice.

Oregon State University (OSU) Libraries participated in Open Access (OA) Week 2009 and 2010. In order to expand the range of events offered, committee members assigned program planning looked for opportunities work with partners beyond library. The collaborative activities developed through these partnerships created settings in-depth conversations among librarians, faculty, students about scholarly communication issues. Subject librarians’ relationships their departments provided host...

Collaborative planning to streamline as well provide citizens with easier access geospatial data has a long history in Oregon. A milestone this process was the launch of Oregon Spatial Data Library (OSDL) November 2009. The OSDL provides method for sharing public domain at no cost user and is part Oregon's participation National Infrastructure (NSDI ). This article reviews nationwide setting development NSDI subsequent state clearinghouses. paper first these clearinghouses specific focus on...
