The effects of American fundamentalism on educating towards a virtuous citizenry : the case of C. I. Scofield and Philadelphia Biblical University.
(2010-06-23)From the founding of Harvard in 1636 until the end of nineteenth century, the old-time college model of higher education was pervasive throughout the fledgling American republic. Christian morality was foundational to the ... -
Effects of arachidonic acid supplementation on training adaptations in resistance-trained males.
(2007-02-09)The purpose of this study was to determine if 50 days of resistance training and arachidonic acid (AA) supplementation elicited changes in body composition, performance variables, hormonal/cytokine levels (i.e. prostaglandins, ... -
The effects of branched-chain amino acid and leucine ingestion on the ERK1/2 MAP kinase signal transduction pathway in conjunction with an acute bout of heavy resistance exercise.
(2007-12-03)Purpose: To determine if leucine or BCAA ingestion increases the activation of the ERK1/2 MAPK pathway greater than that which resistance exercise (RE) elicits alone; to determine a possible mechanism for a BCAA or leucine ... -
Effects of chiral contaminants to aquatic organisms: pharmaceuticals as model compounds for enantiomer specific ecological hazard assessment.
(Houston, Texas : SETAC Press., 2006-07)In the present study, enantiospecific effects of chiral contaminants were explored using two chiral pharmaceutical contaminants as model compounds. These compounds are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant ... -
The effects of combined creatine monohydrate supplementation and resistance training on body composition, muscle strength, and markers of satellite cell activity in older males.
(2009-08-26)Aging is associated with gradual loss of muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, which often leads to progressive disability and loss of independence. Though resistance exercise has shown to be an effective method at reducing the ... -
Effects of concentric and eccentric muscle contractions on IL-6 signaling in human skeletal muscle and downstream regulation of HSP-72 gene expression : Is IL-6 signaling involved in exercise-induced cytoprotection?
(2009-04-01)Purpose: To determine the effects of concentric and eccentric muscle contractions on IL-6 signaling and its possible downstream regulation of HSP-72 expression in human skeletal muscle, and whether contraction-induced ... -
The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with resistance training on body composition, muscle mass and performance, and intramuscular creatine uptake in males.
(2008-12-01)Creatine monohydrate has become one of the most popular ingested nutritional supplements due to its potential enhancement of athletic performance. Creatine absorption from the serum into skeletal muscle occurs through the ... -
The effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on creatine transporter activity and creatine metabolism in resistance trained males.
(2008-10-15)Creatine is a nutritional supplement that is used for its potential performance enhancing (ergogenic) benefits. It constitutes an important component of the immediate energy system, by which ATP is regenerated during ... -
Effects of debt relief under the enhanced HIPC Initiative and the MDRI on developing countries using a time-shifted difference-in differences strategy.
(2017-06-28)The IMF and World Bank launched the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative in 1996 to alleviate the debt overhang problem in developing countries. They amended the program to the Enhanced HIPC Initiative in 1999 ... -
Effects of eight weeks of 6-OXO supplementation on serum hormone profiles and on serum and urinary clinical safety markers in resistance-trained males.
(2006-05-28)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 6-OXO, an aromatase inhibitor, in a dose dependent manner on serum hormone levels and clinical safety markers in resistance trained males. Sixteen healthy trained ... -
Effects of eight weeks of curcumin and Boswellia serrata supplementation on plasma markers of inflammation and antioxidant activity in chronic kidney disease patients.
(2010-10-08)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks of curcumin and Bowellia serrata supplementation on changes in systemic inflammation and antioxidant activity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Sixteen ... -
The effects of eight weeks of heavy resistance training and branched chain amino acid and carbohydrate supplementation on muscle performance and body composition.
(, 2011-09-14)Branched chain amino acid supplements are becoming one of the more popular and well known supplements currently on the market. It is thought that branched chain amino acids support the body during resistance training by ... -
The effects of fish oil supplementation on inflammation markers in chronic kidney disease patients.
(2011-01-05)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the daily consumption of fish oil, containing 2.4g of n-3 fatty acids (1400 mg Eicosapentaenoic acid + 1000 mg Docosahexaenoic acid), on pro-inflammatory cytokines, ... -
Effects of Foldables® on teacher instruction.
(2016-11-18)Teachers are continuously seeking effective methods for presenting, processing and practicing concepts that they are responsible for teaching. Note taking and graphic organizers, in many forms, are common instructional ... -
Effects of four weeks of daily soy milk or dairy milk ingestion on the exercise induced inflammatory and oxidative responses in plasma and skeletal muscle in a post-menopausal female population.
(2009-08-24)The process of senescence is associated with increasing inflammation and subsequent oxidative stress in the body, both of which can exert negative health effects at local and systemic levels. Attenuation of such processes ... -
Effects of four weeks of daily soy or dairy milk ingestion on the exercise-induced proteolytic responses in plasma and skeletal muscle in a post-menopausal female population.
(2009-08-25)Sarcopenia is defined as a loss of muscle mass and muscle strength associated with aging. Changes in muscle function can occur as early as the fourth decade of life. Evidence indicates that the calpain and ubiquitin ... -
The effects of freezing on the material properties and structure of bovine medial meniscus.
(2009-08-25)Menisci serve as shock absorbers and stabilizers in the knee. Bovine meniscus is often used as a model for human meniscus because it is inexpensive and readily available. During experiments, the bovine menisci are usually ... -
