An Accurate Metabolic Simulator For Indirect Calorimetry System Validation, Craig T. Flanagan, J. Orr, D. Westenskow

Utah Space Grant Consortium

A metabolic simulator capable of simulation of respiratory oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) for validation of indirect calorimetry systems is described. The metabolic simulator adds/removes respiratory gases by way of mass flow controllers to/from a physiologically realistic lung simulator (Michigan Instruments Inc. Training/Test Lung). The metabolic simulator and Michigan Instruments Training/Test Lung in combination are capable of simulating a wide range of metabolic and physiologic lung conditions. Simulation of VCO₂ is achieved by adding controlled amounts of carbon dioxide to the Training/Test Lung every (mechanical ventilator delivered) breath cycle. VO₂ simulation …

Vegetation And Soil Relationships Of Interdunal Depressions In The Nebraska Sandhills Prairie., Danica Marie Kochis-Belleque

Student Work

Vegetation and soils of interdunal depressions were compared to those of adjacent north-facing slopes that represent the upland matrix of the Nebraska Sandhills Prairie. Data from canopy cover and biomass show interdunal depressions to be more variable in species composition but significantly lower in diversity than north-facing slopes (H’ = 1.294 and 1.451, respectively). Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed for total plant cover (95% depression, 87% slope), grass cover (80% and 69%), total biomass (150 g/m2 and 120 g/m2), and grass biomass (110 g/m2 and 70 g/m2). Belowground biomass was higher in depressions, although not significantly so (8 g/m2 and 3 g/m2). The plant communities of depressions were dominated by Scribner’s dichanthelium (Dichantheliuum oligosanthes var. scribneriamum) (32% cover), sedges (Carex spp. And Cyperus schweinitzii) (27% cover), little bluestem (Andropogon scoparius) (21% cover), and white sage (Artemisia ludoviciana) (19% cover). Little bluestem (27% cover), western ragweed (Ambroisa psilostachya) (17% cover), and junegrass (Koeleria pyramidata) (13% cover) dominated slope communities. Significant (P < 0.05) differences between depressions and slopes were recorded for soil moisture (3% and 2%), soil organic matter (2% and 1%), depth of humic acid staining (120 cm and 40 cm), and 3 of 7 soil particle sizes, including silt. Most of the 19 elements tested had higher concentrations in depressions, but significant differences were recorded for iron, potassium, manganese, silicon, and zinc. Significantly higher proportions of small mineral soil particles, organic matter, and nutrients suggest that depressions may act as a regional sink for air-borne particulates that, in combination with higher soil moisture, support a substantially different plant community than the surrounding prairie matrix. This, interdunal depressions appear to contribute significantly to the landscape-level diversity of the Sandhills Prairie ecosystem.

Changes Within The Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference Of North America That Led To The Exit Of The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, Mark Braun

Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation

The following study presents the stages of the intersynodical debate that led the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod to exit the Ev. Lutheran Synodical Conference during the thirty years, 1931-61.Official source material is abundant. The synod's theological journal has presented a consistent viewpoint regarding the Scouting movement, the military chaplaincy, applications of the synod's teachings regarding church fellowship, and the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, all of which played key roles in Wisconsin's exit.

The Distance Education Learning Model (Del), Gary "Lee" Frantz, James W. King

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

The interface of education, technology, distance education, and change is very complex. As we examined the arena of distance education, we realized the usefulness of a systems approach as a powerful tool to connect and interrelate people, goals, organizations, and technologies in the educational playing field.

Banathy's core work (1968, 1992, 1995, 1996a, 199613) suggests an important model of the educational system as part of society--its larger suprasystem (see Figure 1). Through this model, he showed that education, as a lifelong process, is tied closely to the outputs, objectives, and purposes of other parts of society. This model simply shows …

Low Fasting Plasma Glucose Level As A Predictor Of Cardiovascular Disease And All-Cause Mortality, Ming Wei, Larry W. Gibbons, Tedd L. Mitchell, James B. Kampert, Michael P. Stern, Steven N. Blair

Faculty Publications

Background - Although medical textbooks usually classify fasting plasma glucose <70 or 80 mg/dL (<3.89 or 4.44 mmol/L) as abnormal, the prognosis for patients with low fasting plasma glucose is unclear.

Methods and Results - We conducted prospective cohort studies among 40,069 men and women to investigate the association between fasting plasma glucose levels and cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. We documented a U-shaped relation between fasting plasma glucose and mortality. In addition to diabetes and impaired fasting glucose levels, low fasting plasma glucose levels were also associated with high morality. After multivariate adjustment for age, sex, study population, ethnicity, current smoking status, high blood pressure, total cholesterol, body mass index, triglycerides, history of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and a family …

Univercity News (2000-05-01)

UniverCity News, 1998-2001

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Efficacy, Phytotoxicity, And Cover Crop Response Of Herbicide Combinations In Dark Fire Cured Tobacco, Tracy Kelley

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Field studies were established during the summer of 1999 at the Agricultural Research and Education Complex of Western Kentucky University to evaluate efficacy, phytotoxicity, and cover crop response of herbicide combinations in dark fire cured tobacco. A randomized complete block design was used with nine treatments replicated three times. Hydroponic tobacco transplants (c.v. 'TND950') were established on May 20,1999 in a conventionally tilled system on a Pembroke silt loam (Mollic Palleudalf) with a pH of 5.8 and an organic matter content of 1.2%. The transplants were established at a population of approximately 10,278 plants/ha. Herbicide treatments were applied on May …
