At its best, a university is a collection of individuals ‐‐ students and faculty ‐‐ focused on learning and discovering new knowledge. For this goal to be realized, a critical element is having faculty members deeply engaged in such discovery within their disciplines. Scholarship, in the form of journal articles, book chapters, monographs and similar endeavors, creative activity which can take an even wider range of forms, and funded research which explores the boundaries of disciplines all contribute to such engagement. Through such participation, faculty members stay at the growing edges of their fields, and in so doing, they enrich …

Effects Of Different Rest Intervals Between Antagonist Paired Sets On Repetition Performance And Muscle Activation, Mariana F. Maia, Jeffrey M. Willardson, Gabriel A. Paz, Humberto Miranda

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

Effects

of different rest intervals between antagonist paired sets on

repetition performance and muscle activation. J Strength

Cond Res 28(9): 2529–2535, 2014—Recent evidence

suggests that exercising the antagonist musculature acutely

enhances subsequent performance for the agonist musculature.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of

different rest intervals between sets for exercises that involve

antagonistic muscle groups, a technique referred to as

antagonist paired sets (APS). Fifteen recreationally trained

men were tested for knee extension (KE) exercise performance,

with or without previous knee flexion (KF) exercise

for the antagonist musculature. The following protocols were

performed in random …

Idiosyncratic Risk And Development In Developing Countries, Minh Dao

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

This paper examines the impact of idiosyncratic risk management on economic development in developing countries. Based on data from the World Bank, we use a sample of twenty-seven developing economies and find that selected indicators related to risk management at the household level do have a statistically significant effect on economic development in these countries. Regression results show that almost four-fifths of cross-developing country variations in purchasing power parity per capita gross national income can be explained by its linear dependency on the percentage of the population aged over 25 who have completed the tertiary level of education, education quality …

The Effect Of Welfare Policies And Hardships On Participation Rates Among The Poor, Matthew W. Cain

Undergraduate Honors Theses

For several decades, a new political prospective has emerged in the Political Science literature - Policy Feedback Theory. Put simply, Policy Feedback Theory looks at the way public policy affects politics. Existing policies can define the political environment, shaping the capacities, interests, and beliefs of political elites and states, which in tum influence the next round of policy-making. However, does public policy only change the politics of elites and states? Can public policy also change the politics of mass publics? Recent Political Science researchers are now examining this question.

Even though much ground has been gained in examining this question, …

Gut Helminths Of Two Species Of Light Geese In Illinois, Evan C. Boone

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Parasite burdens in lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) and Ross’s geese (Chen rossii) migrating through central Illinois were determined and compared to documented parasite burdens on the breeding grounds in northern Canada and the wintering grounds in southern Texas. The digestive tracts of 48 snow geese (38 lesser snow geese and 10 Ross’s geese) were collected from 4 February to 3 March, 2012, in Raymond, Illinois. Eight helminth taxa (two species of Trematoda, four species of Nematoda, and two species of Cestoda) were recovered. Five of the eight helminth taxa were common in both species …

This Is Just A Test: Overcoming High-Stakes Test Anxiety Through Relaxation And Gum Chewing When Preparing For The Act, Heidi A. Larson, Sharon Y. Kim, Rob Mckinney, Alyssa Swan, Adriane Moody, Keri L. Offenstein, Deb German, Sarah Puchalski

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

This study was a replication of a previous study (in which) participants were given relaxation and deep breathing training to help manage test anxiety. The study examined the correlations between relaxation strategies, gum chewing and variables including socioeconomic status, class rank, GPA, and importance of going to college. Participants included 96 high school students (36 males, 60 females), preparing for the ACT (American College Testing). Results indicated that the relaxation intervention had a significant effect in reducing test anxiety.
