Exercise And Physical Self-Perception: Effects Of A Twelve Week Fitness Walking Program On Self-Reported Fitness Level Of College Students, Kristin M. Connell
Honors Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine if any changes occurred in the health-related components of physical fitness during a sixteen week walking course at a southern university campus. In addition, the study noted the changes which occurred in the student's perception of his/her fitness level, as assessed by questionnaire, and the relationship between actual fitness and perceived fitness level.
The Effects Of Berry Extracts From Phytolacca Americana (Pokeweed) On Seed Germination, Kevin Blake Anderson
The Effects Of Berry Extracts From Phytolacca Americana (Pokeweed) On Seed Germination, Kevin Blake Anderson
Honors Theses
Extracts from the berries of Phytolacca americana (Pokeweed) exhibit the ability to inhibit germination of a variety of seeds, including its own. This inhibition has been shown to be effective even in dilute samples of the extracts. However, it is not known whether the germination inhibition caused by these extracts is induced by physical or by chemical mechanisms. This research proposes that the germination inhibition is induced by chemical inhibitors present within the berries. In an attempt to uncover the chemical agent(s) responsible for the germination inhibition characteristics exhibited by berry extracts of Phytolacca americana (pokeberry extracts), several separation techniques …
