The Female Athlete, Dilip R. Patel, Donald E. Greydanus, Hatim A. Omar
The Female Athlete, Dilip R. Patel, Donald E. Greydanus, Hatim A. Omar
Pediatrics Faculty Publications
The female athlete has today became an accepted part of sports in elementary school, junior high, senior high, and college. This chapter covers various aspects of the prepubertal and pubertal female athlete. An historical perspective will be presented and selected comments provided on psychological and physiologic aspects of the female athlete. Concepts of adolescent gynecology are reviewed, including breast concerns and menstrual dilemmas in relation to sports activity. Exercise during pregnancy is also considered. Iron deficiency anemia and stress urinary incontinence
Neutral Sulfite Semi-Chemical Pulping Of Rapeseed Residues, Mohammad Ahmadi, Ahmad Jahan Latibari, Mehdi Faezipour, Sahab Hedjazi
Neutral Sulfite Semi-Chemical Pulping Of Rapeseed Residues, Mohammad Ahmadi, Ahmad Jahan Latibari, Mehdi Faezipour, Sahab Hedjazi
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Neutral sulfite semi-chemical (NSSC) pulping of rapeseed residues from Karadj rapeseed growing fields was investigated. Rapeseed residue was collected from the research field at the Agriculture and Natural Resources Campus, University of Tehran located in Karadj. Cellulose, lignin, holocellulose, extractives soluble in alcohol acetone, 1% NaOH solubility, and ash were determined as 42 ± 2%, 17 ± 1%, 77.5 ± 2%, 2.2 ± 0.1%, 50.3 ± 1.6%, and 6%, respectively. Fiber length, width, and cell wall thickness were measured as 1.190 mm, 32 \mum, and 4 \mum. Three pulping durations of 20, 40, and 60 min and 5 chemical charges …

This study evaluated the acute time course of the ergogenic effect of concurrent activation potentiation (CAP). Forty-two men and women, including CAP non-responders and responders, performed a 5 second isometric knee extension on a dynamometer with the use of remote voluntary contractions (RVC). Mean torque was assessed in seven 500 millisecond (ms) time periods. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed significant main effects for time period (p ≤ 0.001), but no significant interaction between time period and CAP non-responders and responders (p > 0.05). The ergogenic effects of CAP are accrued during the first 1000ms. Concurrent activation potentiation responders produce greater …

Exercise Science Faculty Research and Publications
This study evaluated the effect of remote voluntary contractions (RVC) during isometric and isokinetic knee flexion and extension tests and evaluated gender differences therein. Subject peak torque, rate of torque development, and power were assessed with a dynamometer in RVC and no RVC’s conditions. A two way mixed ANOVA with repeated measures for condition was used to evaluate the interaction between conditions and gender, and to assess the main effects. Main effects were evaluated with a paired samples t-test. Results revealed a significant interaction between all but one test condition and gender as well as significant main effects for all …
