The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston Jan 2002

The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration on acute power output in the bench press. A total of 10 male subjects performed 3 sets of 3 reps of bench presses using a load equal to 70% one repetition maximum (1RM) on two occasions separated by 3 days. One occasion served as the experimental (vibration) condition while the other occasion served as the control (non-vibration) condition. The conditions differed due to a 30 second vibration stimulation period between bench press sets 2 and 3 in the experimental condition. The control condition incorporated a 30 second …


The Day-To-Day Reliability Of Resting Metabolic Rate, Amy Elizabeth Thompson Jan 2002

The Day-To-Day Reliability Of Resting Metabolic Rate, Amy Elizabeth Thompson

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This purpose of this study was to determine the day-to-day reliability of resting metabolic rate. 18 college students, (mean age 22 +/- 3.6 yrs, height 65.78 +/- 22.0 in., body mass 68.05 +/- 10.34 kg, percent body fat 23 +/- 6.5%) gave informed consent to participate in the study. RMR was measured on four separate days over a period of 14 days. Height, weight, and resting heart rate were also recorded on each testing day. Body composition was assessed on the first day. Energy intake, energy expenditure, and caffeine intake were controlled between days. Each test was done between 7 …


A Spectroscopic Analysis Of The Starburst Galaxies Ngc 3395 And Ngc 3396, Kenneth Plaks Jan 2002

A Spectroscopic Analysis Of The Starburst Galaxies Ngc 3395 And Ngc 3396, Kenneth Plaks

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

We have obtained ultraviolet and visible wavelength spectra of 31 bright star forming knots in the interacting galaxies NGC 3395 and NGC 3396 using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The knots are possible super star clusters on the order of ∼100 pc diameter with measured metallicities on the order of 0.5--0.6 Z⊙ . The spectra are consistent with a massive production of hot young stars in a starburst; Ages of the starburst knots were calculated using several diagnostics from the Leitherer et al. Starburst 99 code (SB99) using an Initial Mass Function (IMF) with …


Examining The Cost-Outcome Relationship Of A Fortified Class-Size Reduction Program, Derick M. Kiger Jan 2002

Examining The Cost-Outcome Relationship Of A Fortified Class-Size Reduction Program, Derick M. Kiger

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Class-size reduction initiatives have been criticized for producing modest achievement gains for the resources they consume. Wisconsin’s Student Achievement Guarantee in Education (SAGE) was designed to amplify the achievement benefits of smaller classes by requiring complementary changes in the teaching and learning environment and accountability for results. This study examined SAGE in an urban school district. The achievement benefits realized by the evaluand were marginalized by high per-student costs and similar performance of comparison groups on a state-mandated reading test. Suggestions for improving the cost-outcome relationship were presented.

Collegiate Connection: A Program To Encourage The Success Of Student Participation In High School/University Dual Enrollment, Beverly Parke, Joe Nichols, Ann Souligny Brown Jan 2002

Collegiate Connection: A Program To Encourage The Success Of Student Participation In High School/University Dual Enrollment, Beverly Parke, Joe Nichols, Ann Souligny Brown

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This project is a comparative exploration of academic success rates for high school students enrolled in a high school/university dual enrollment program. Four-hundred-eighty-four high school student grades in university courses were compared to grades of the general university population and university freshmen (n = 4,552) in specific courses. In several specific courses, the earned grades of high school students participating in the program were found to be significantly greater than the grades of university freshmen in matching courses. The Collegiate Connection dual enrollment program is explained in detail and suggestions for additional future research are also included.

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett Jan 2002

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett

Department of English Faculty Publications

Many of the earliest critical discussions of Virginia Woolf suppressed her antifascist politics and polemical feminism, charging her with elitism and a fondness for the ivory tower. In an effort to counter such a limited portrait, much “second-wave” feminist discourse since the mid-1970s has, conversely, celebrated Woolf’s progressive political views without spending sufficient energy interrogating their lacunae. In this essay I hope to join current efforts toward more nuanced inquiry into Woolf’s often conflicting and sometimes troubling political positions.1 In particular, this essay offers a corrective to a lingering critical reluctance to investigate Woolf’s antisemitism.2 Such reluctance may result in …

Two Wrongs Making A Right: Using The Third And Ninth Circuits For A Uniform Standard Of Fame In Federal Dilution Law, Scott Harvison Jan 2002

Two Wrongs Making A Right: Using The Third And Ninth Circuits For A Uniform Standard Of Fame In Federal Dilution Law, Scott Harvison

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment contains six main parts. Part II analyzes the Lanham Act of 19461 and the likelihood of confusion standard, which led to the enactment of the FTDA. Part III briefly examines the history of dilution and then looks at the FTDA. Part IV focuses on the FTDA's legislative history and intent. In light of the discussion in the foregoing parts, Part V examines differing interpretations of fame as demonstrated by the decisions by the Third and Ninth Circuits, which illustrate and incorporate the differing interpretations of the FTDA among other circuits. In Part VI, this Comment concludes by proposing …


Casebooks Are Toast, Robert Laurence Jan 2002

Casebooks Are Toast, Robert Laurence

Seattle University Law Review

Into the fine spinach salad that is this Symposium on commercial law casebooks comes a grain of sand. An annoying defect in the total presentation. A distracting flaw that should not take away from the value of the remainder of the mix, but somehow does. For I am the one whose job it is to say that casebooks as a genre are dying, soon, I think, to become extinct. "Dinosaurs," a prior generation would have called them; "toast" in modern parlance. The future of law school teaching materials lies on the Web.


Revisiting Erie, Guaranty Trust, And Gasperini: The Role Of Jewish Social History In Fashioning Modern American Federalism, Daniel R. Gordon Jan 2002

Revisiting Erie, Guaranty Trust, And Gasperini: The Role Of Jewish Social History In Fashioning Modern American Federalism, Daniel R. Gordon

Seattle University Law Review

This article explores the connection between traditional Jewish localism and the creation of modern American federalism that flows from the Erie doctrine. First, the riddle of Gasperiniis explored. Next, the federalist philosophies of Justices Brandeis and Frankfurter in Erie and Guaranty Trust are discussed. Finally, the article analyzes how Justices Brandeis, Frankfurter, and Ginsburg, as twentieth century American Jews, embody the traditional Jewish minority experience that, at least in part, was informed by anti-Semitism.

Threat Of Foreign Arthropod-Borne Pathogens To Livestock In The United States, Ralph A. Bram, John E. George, Robert E. Reichard, Walter J. Tabachnick Jan 2002

Threat Of Foreign Arthropod-Borne Pathogens To Livestock In The United States, Ralph A. Bram, John E. George, Robert E. Reichard, Walter J. Tabachnick

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

There are many exotic animal pathogens throughout the world that, if introduced into the United States, could have a significant detrimental impact on the health of livestock, agricultural economy, the environment, and public health. Many of these pathogens are arthropod-borne and potential vectors are readily available in the United States. A number of these arthropod-borne pathogens are discussed here as examples that illustrate the potential risk and the consequences of inadvertent introductions. Several International agencies have a role in global surveillance and in controlling animal diseases should they begin to expand their range. The risk to the United States is …
