The cecal microbial community's response to hibernation within thirteen- lined ground squirrels
(2018-05)The presence of microbial communities within the gastrointestinal tract is extremely important. Intestinal associated microbial populations are established immediately after birth and the population is maintained by diet. ... -
Evaluation of copper alloy surfaces for inactivation of Tulane virus, a human norovirus surrogate, and human noroviruses.
(2018-05)This study evaluated the efficacy of copper alloy surfaces for inactivation of Tulane virus, a human norovirus surrogate, using plaque assay and porcine gastric mucin- conjugated magnetic beads (PGM-MB) binding assay ... -
Muscle oxygenation patterns during a maximal incremental cycling and 20- km time trials
(2018-12)Pacing strategies are necessary during endurance events in which the goal is to finish in as little time as possible. Both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems are utilized during cycling and running competitions. The ... -
The implementation of a 30x30 nature challenge among students attending the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
(2018-05)The purpose of the project was to implement a 30x30 Nature Challenge among students attending the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, during the Spring 2018 semester. The overall goal was to increase nature relatedness, ... -
The effects of genetic bottlenecks on mutation fixation and replicative capacity of the influenza A virus
(2018-12)The influenza A virus is a common cause of respiratory illness in humans. Seasonal epidemics of influenza in the United States can result in up to 40 million cases, with annual hospitalizations and deaths reaching as ... -
Teaching styles in physical education: the effects on physical activity levels of middle school students with different motivation types
(2018-04)Self-determination theory (SDT) has been widely investigated to understand and change an individual’s physical activity (PA) behavior in different settings (Deci & Ryan, 1985; 1991; 2000). The first purpose of this study ... -
Energy expenditure and relative exercise intensity on the FreebounderTM
(2018-12)Regular physical activity provides many health benefits. However, the principle excuse for a sedentary lifestyle is lack of time. In this regard, more time-effective protocols have been used. One such protocol is ... -
Perceptions of universally designed adventure education in high school physical education
(2018-08)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a universally designed adventure education (UDAE) program on students of varying ability levels. Five data collection techniques were employed to gain a rich ... -
Social networking and physical activity levels among young adults
(2018-05)This study examined how posting daily pictures of physical activity (PA) to social networking sites (SNS), influenced young adults PA levels and motivational profiles. Participants (N = 58) were 18-22 years of age. The ... -
Studies to improve the ability of culture medium to recover Borrelia miyamotoi
(2018-12)The relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia miyamotoi was recently detected in hard-bodied Ixodes scapularis ticks that also transmit Lyme disease-causing B. burgdorferi. As a result, methods of laboratory diagnosis that ... -
Increase of extracellular matrix proteins in hibernating ground squirrels could help maintain bone health.
(2018-12)Whether from injury, old age, or space flight, immobility or a lack of gravitational loading has negative effects on the physiology of bone and bone marrow. Consequences include a weakening of the immune system, decreased ... -
