Prevention Of Atrophic Nonunion Development By Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7, Takeshi Makino, David J. Hak, Scott Hazelwood, Shane Curtiss, A. Hari Reddi May 2005

Prevention Of Atrophic Nonunion Development By Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7, Takeshi Makino, David J. Hak, Scott Hazelwood, Shane Curtiss, A. Hari Reddi

Biomedical Engineering

Severe periosteal and soft tissue disruption at the time of fracture may result in the formation of an atrophic nonunion. We have developed a reproducible atrophic nonunion in an animal model. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the immediate application of recombinant human BMP-7 to the fracture site could rescue the healing process in this nonunion model. A total of 56 three month old Fisher 344 rats were utilized. A 1.25mm diameter K-wire was inserted into the femur in a retrograde fashion, and a mid-diaphyseal closed transverse fracture was created using a standard three point bending device. …


Amount Of Food Group Variety Consumed In The Diet And Long-Term Weight Loss Maintenance, Hollie A. Raynor, Robert W. Jeffery, Suzanne Phelan, James O. Hill, Rena R. Wing May 2005

Amount Of Food Group Variety Consumed In The Diet And Long-Term Weight Loss Maintenance, Hollie A. Raynor, Robert W. Jeffery, Suzanne Phelan, James O. Hill, Rena R. Wing

Kinesiology and Public Health

Objective: Decreases in variety of foods consumed within high-fat-dense food groups and increases in variety of foods consumed within low-fat-dense food groups are associated with lower energy intake and greater weight loss during obesity treatment and may assist with weight loss maintenance. This study examined food group variety in 2237 weight loss maintainers in the National Weight Control Registry, who had lost 32.2 ± 18.0 kg (70.9 ± 39.5 lbs) and maintained a weight loss of at least 13.6 kg (30 lbs) for 6.1 ± 7.7 years.
Research Methods and Procedures: At entry into the registry, registry members completed a …

Monterey Street Redesign: A Pedestrian-Only Corridor On Lower Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo Ca, Noah Christman Apr 2005

Monterey Street Redesign: A Pedestrian-Only Corridor On Lower Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo Ca, Noah Christman

Focus

Noah discusses his senior project, done with colleague Nai Saephan in spring 2004. Their study allowed them to develop an urban design scenario for Monterey Street, downtown San Luis Obispo, considering higher density and mixed-use development, in a transit oriented pedestrian-friendly environment. His method included the development of elaborate design scenarios in SketchUp, a CAD program increasingly popular among CRP students.

Using Technology To Teach Historical Understanding: The Digital History Reader Brings The Possibilities Of New Technology To The History Classroom, Robert P. Stephens, Jane L. Lehr, Daniel B. Thorp, E. Thomas Ewing, David Hicks, Virginia Polytechnic Institute And State University

Ethnic Studies

Today's students are generally accustomed to seeing timelines of events, lists of names, and bulleted items, yet they lack an understanding of the complexity of historical analysis. Learning to read historical information from charts, for example, teaches students to evaluate the significance of change. Comparing related primary sources can enhance understanding of historical patterns. Having students consider changes in terms of options, choices, and consequences, helps them develop a sense of history as a process shaped by individuals and communities. This article describes three models for developing these skills in an online format: a cost of labor calculator that allows …

Hunters Ring Dinner Bell For Ravens: Experimental Evidence Of A Unique Foraging Strategy, Crow White Apr 2005

Hunters Ring Dinner Bell For Ravens: Experimental Evidence Of A Unique Foraging Strategy, Crow White

Biological Sciences

We have long known that corvids are adaptively flexible in behavior, but have rarely tested their flexibility and creativity in solving problems outside the laboratory. Through a carefully controlled experiment conducted in the wild, I have found that Common Ravens (Corvus corax) fly toward gunshot sounds, presumably in order to locate animal gut piles left by hunters. This is the first conclusive evidence of any scavenger species pursuing gunshots. Furthermore, ravens exhibited this behavior only when gunshots were fired from within forested habitat, when the shots may be most valuable to them for locating gut piles. Interestingly, raven behaviors suggest …

Physical Properties Of Yogurt Fortified With Various Commercial Whey Protein Concentrates, Isabelle Sodini, John Montella, Phillip S. Tong Apr 2005

Physical Properties Of Yogurt Fortified With Various Commercial Whey Protein Concentrates, Isabelle Sodini, John Montella, Phillip S. Tong

Dairy Science

The effects of whey protein concentrates on physical and rheological properties of yogurt were studied. Five commercial whey protein concentrates (340 g kg−1 protein nominal) were used to fortify milk to 45 g protein kg−1. Fermentation was performed with two different starters (ropy and non-ropy). Resulting yogurts were compared with a control yogurt enriched with skim milk powder. The water-holding capacity of the yogurt fortified with skim milk powder was 500 g kg−1 and ranged from 600 to 638 g kg−1 when fortified with whey protein concentrates. Significant rheological differences have been noticed between the …

Logan Buck, Olivia Mcauliffe, Nicole Souther, Alleson Dobson, Tri Duong, Michael Callanan, Sonja Lick, Alice Hamrick, Raul J. Cano, Todd R. Klaenhammer

Biological Sciences

Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM is a probiotic bacterium that has been produced commercially since 1972. The complete genome is 1,993,564 nt and devoid of plasmids. The average GC content is 34.71% with 1,864 predicted ORFs, of which 72.5% were functionally classified. Nine phage-related integrases were predicted, but no complete prophages were found. However, three unique regions designated as potential autonomous units (PAUs) were identified. These units resemble a unique structure and bear characteristics of both plasmids and phages. Analysis of the three PAUs revealed the presence of two R/M systems and a prophage maintenance system killer protein. A spacers interspersed direct …


The Relationship Between Pelagic Larval Duration And Range Size In Tropical Reef Fishes: A Synthetic Analysis, Sarah E. Lester, Benjamin I. Ruttenberg Mar 2005

The Relationship Between Pelagic Larval Duration And Range Size In Tropical Reef Fishes: A Synthetic Analysis, Sarah E. Lester, Benjamin I. Ruttenberg

Biological Sciences

We address the conflict in earlier results regarding the relationship between dispersal potential and range size. We examine all published pelagic larval duration data for tropical reef fishes. Larval duration is a convenient surrogate for dispersal potential in marine species that are sedentary as adults and that therefore only experience significant dispersal during their larval phase. Such extensive quantitative dispersal data are only available for fishes and thus we use a unique dataset to examine the relationship between dispersal potential and range size. We find that dispersal potential and range size are positively correlated only in the largest ocean basin, …
