Use Of Origanum Vulgare Essential Oil To Combat Human Pathogenic Yeasts, Amber Adams
Use Of Origanum Vulgare Essential Oil To Combat Human Pathogenic Yeasts, Amber Adams
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
With the outbreak of autoimmune diseases, pathogenic yeasts have begun to pose a serious medical threat. This threat is compounded as more of these yeasts evolve resistance to existing antifungal drugs. In the ever-widening search for new, effective antifungal treatment, the realm of herbal medicine offers some interesting and potentially valuable alternatives. Origanum vulgare is one herb that has demonstrated broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi alike. This study undertook to examine the effects of the essential oil of Origanum vulgare on Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Rhodotorula rubrum, and Cryptococcus albidus, with the hypothesis that Essential Oil of …

Businessman, salesman, kitchen inspector, lover of comfortable lodgings, and connoisseur of good food - - this was the man Duncan Hines. This presentation explores the life and work of Duncan Hines from his days growing up in Warren County, Kentucky, through his career as a travel writer, and finally to his rise as a brand name in the world of packaged goods. The presentation highlights scenes from The Kentucky Library and Museum exhibit “Recommended by Duncan Hines.”

Do The Principles Of Motor Program Editing Apply To Longer Sequences Of Rapid Aiming Movements? Part I, Eric J. Wilson, David E. Sherwood
Do The Principles Of Motor Program Editing Apply To Longer Sequences Of Rapid Aiming Movements? Part I, Eric J. Wilson, David E. Sherwood
International Journal of Exercise Science
Prior work had shown that performing a shorter distance aiming movement prior to a longer distance aiming movement resulted in overshooting of the short movement and undershooting of the longer movement compared to repetition of the same movement. The main question was whether the same interference effects would be found in a three-movement sequence. Right-handed (N = 24) participants (aged 18-22) produced a sequence of two or three bimanual rapid lever reversals combining short (20°) and long (60°) movements with an intermovement interval of 2.5 s beginning with either the dominant or nondominant hand. Participants overshot the short target and …
The Relationship Between Upper Arm Anthropometrical Measures And Vertical Jump Displacement, Richard A. Reeves, Ocie D. Hicks, James W. Navalta
The Relationship Between Upper Arm Anthropometrical Measures And Vertical Jump Displacement, Richard A. Reeves, Ocie D. Hicks, James W. Navalta
International Journal of Exercise Science
The purpose of this study was to determine if upper body segment length or mass contributes to vertical jump (VJ) displacement. Seventeen men (n=9) and women (n=8) who were active recreationally participated in this investigation. Subjects performed VJ for maximal displacement, and skeletal length measurements of the humerus (acromion following the lateral lip to the greater tuberosity), ulna (olecranon to the ulnar styloid process), and hand (lunate to distal end of third phalanx) were obtained by palpation of boney landmarks and a standard tape measure. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients were used to compare the data with statistical significance accepted …
Dabbing The Skin Surface Dry During Ice Massage Augments Rate Of Temperature Drop, Amrik S. Sidhu, Gary Lentell, Robert Pettitt
Dabbing The Skin Surface Dry During Ice Massage Augments Rate Of Temperature Drop, Amrik S. Sidhu, Gary Lentell, Robert Pettitt
International Journal of Exercise Science
While ice massage (IM) is a rapid cooling technique used to facilitate therapeutic movements in the rehabilitation process, evidence of its efficacy over alternative therapeutic protocols is scarce. We determined whether dabbing the skin surface dry during a standard IM treatment would lead to greater rate of skin temperature reduction in comparison to without dabbing; and whether dabbing the skin would lead to an acute change in flexibility. Sixteen healthy volunteers received a “dabbing” and “non-dabbing” 7-minute IM treatment over the surface of each triceps surae muscle. Minute-by-minute temperature change in skin surface was evaluated using an infrared thermometer. Active …
Forearm Emg During Rock Climbing Differs From Emg During Handgrip Dynamometry, Phillip B. Watts, Randall L. Jensen, Edward Gannon, Randy Kobeinia, Jeremy Maynard, Jennifer Sansom
Forearm Emg During Rock Climbing Differs From Emg During Handgrip Dynamometry, Phillip B. Watts, Randall L. Jensen, Edward Gannon, Randy Kobeinia, Jeremy Maynard, Jennifer Sansom
International Journal of Exercise Science
Grip force, as measured via handgrip dynamometry, is often given importance in the study of rock climbing performance. Whether handgrip dynamometry produces a degree of muscle activation comparable to actual climbing has not been reported. Furthermore, the degree and variability of muscle activation for various configurations during climbing are unknown. The purpose of this study was to record forearm EMG responses for six hand configurations during climbing and to compare these responses to a maximum handgrip test. Five experienced climbers signed informed consent to participate in the study. Subjects performed four moves up (UP) and down (DN) on an overhanging …
On A State-Sponsored Sport System In China, Jie Cao, Pan Zhiwei
On A State-Sponsored Sport System In China, Jie Cao, Pan Zhiwei
International Journal of Exercise Science
The gold medal success of China in recent Olympic Games can be traced to the advancement of the state-sponsored sport system (SSSS). While the program was developed initially through socialist ideals, it is more than a centralized government system to monopolize resources for glorified sport performance. Participation in competition is an inherent part of the human condition. Success in athletics is associated with national identity and has economic, social, and cultural implications. Because of this, it is essential that the SSSS adjust and improve to keep pace with other facets of China’s quickly changing national reform. In association with emerging …

Morphology Of The Inner And Peripheral Ear Of The Loricariid Catfish Pterygoplichthys Gibbiceps K., Brian David Rodgers
Morphology Of The Inner And Peripheral Ear Of The Loricariid Catfish Pterygoplichthys Gibbiceps K., Brian David Rodgers
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The morphology of the peripheral and inner ear structures was studied in the loricariid catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps. Specimens (n=6) were preserved in fixative (4% paraformaldehyde, 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer) and dissected for examination of the gross morphology (using light microscopy) and ultrastructure of the auditory sensory epithelia (using scanning electron microscopy). One additional specimen was cleaned in a dermestid beetle colony in order to examine the osteology of the skull. The swim bladder of P. gibbiceps is divided along the midline of the fish into two reduced but equal lobes residing in two laterally oriented bony encapsulations. Immediately …
