Eating and appetite regulating hormones in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and weight-matched controls
(2017-02-07)Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition in women that affects health and fertility. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and oligo- or anovulation. Insulin resistance ... -
Ecology of wood in the Upper Mississippi River
(2023-08)Wood is recognized as a key habitat structure in riverine ecosystems, yet we know relatively little about its role in large floodplain rivers such as the Upper Mississippi River. Despite its clear ecological importance, ... -
Economic education for the kindergarten-primary grades -- a review of the literature from 1960 through 1970
(1971-05-19)Statement of the Problem: The purpose of this study was to review the literature from 1960 through 1970 to determine the extent to which common concepts and generalizations identified with the discipline of economics could ... -
Ecosystem processes of epilithis and epixylic periphyton in a backwater of the Upper Mississippi River
(2011-08)In large lotic aquatic systems like the upper Mississippi River (UMR), the majority of primary production is most often attributed to pelagic (free-floating) biological communities, or macrophyte communities. However, the ... -
The effect of a health promotion program on the wellness behavior and self-esteem of women, and the influence of self-esteem upon behavior change
(1982)This research examined change in self-esteem and wellness behavior among women ages 34 to 75 following a health promotion program. It also examined the effect of self-esteem upon the pursuit of wellness behavior. Qs ... -
The effect of a reality therapy based in-service training program on the self-assessed job performance of residence hall directors
(1984-04)During the 1980-81 academic year, the Housing Office at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse implemented a 30 hour in-service training program based on the principles of Reality Therapy. This study was designed to determine ... -
Effect of acidification of mercury methylation and volatilization in an oligotrophic Northern Wisconsin lake
(1984-12)The effects of experimental acidification on mercury methylation and volatilization were measured in sediment, water, and attached microbial communities (on artificial substrates) from an acid-susceptible Wisconsin lake. ... -
The effect of acute beet root juice supplementation on anaerobic power in females
(2021-12)Beet root juice (BRJ) contains a high concentration of inorganic nitrates, previously shown to improve blood flow to skeletal muscle. Recent studies in males have found that acute BRJ supplementation can improve anaerobic ... -
Effect of Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) on Morchella (morels) in vitro
(2017-10-24)Previous research has shown that Alliaria petiolata, garlic mustard, successfully invaded northern North America through allelopathy and suppressing arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal fungi. The research suggests that ... -
The effect of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on ground reaction forces during locomotion
(1999-08)The purpose of this study was to examine the ground reaction forces of ACL reconstruction patients in both their affected and unaffected leg and to examine the ground reaction forces of non pathological subjects in each leg. -
The effect of arm exercise on the energy cost of StairMaster stepping in males
(1995-05)This study compared the metabolic responses of StairMaster 4009PT (SM) stepping with the addition of upper body exercise (WA) using the UB Sports Fitness Trainer (UBSFT) td SM stepping with no arm use (WOA). Step depth ... -
The effect of blood donation on the talk test responses in recreationally active men
(2020-04)The Talk Test (TT) is a valid method of evaluating exercise intensity as well as exercise prescription. It has been widely studied as surrogate to the ventilatory threshold (VT). Blood donation highly effects exercise ... -
The effect of competition on the sportsmanship of college women
(1969-05)The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the sportsmanship measure scores and the amount of athletic competition in which the subjects participated. The subjects used were 251 college women ... -
Effect of competitive distance on utilization of anaerobic capacity
(2001-12)In view of published models that assume that anaerobic capacity is expended much earlier in a high intensity event, this study evaluated patterns of aerobic and anaerobic energy expenditures during simulated cycling time trials. -
The effect of d-pinitol on 50 kilometer time trial performance
(2001-12)Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of glucose supplementation during prolonged exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine whether d-pinitol, a purported augmenter of glucose transport would ... -
The effect of different dosing strategies of sodium bicarbonate upon collegiate swimmers
(2002-05)This study evaluated the efficacy of different dosages of sodium bicarbonate on time trial performance, blood lactate concentrations and incurred side effects. Participants included 10 volunteer male (n = 3) and female ... -
The effect of different interval durations on measures of exercise intensity
(1999-08)Monitoring training loads during continuous exercise has been validated, however given the importance of interval training, this method (RPE * duration) has not been validated during interval training of different ...
