Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

LifeNet currently cleans allograft bone utilizing AllowashTM Technology, which encompasses the use of a closed continuous circulation chamber to remove bone marrow by flushing it with AllowashTM Solution for a prescribed time and temperature after which, it is rinsed with various solutions to remove residual detergent that could be toxic to the recipient. A portion of this process employs AllowashTM Solution to improve the solubilization and removal of protein and cellular elements in the red bone marrow. This study examines the effectiveness of AllowashTM Solution in comparison to its component detergents Nonidet P40, Nonoxynol 9 and …

A Kinematic And Kinetic Analysis Of First, Fourth, And Fifth Positions In The Classical Ballet Method, Mary Sue Hill

Masters Theses

The problem of the study was to compare electromyography (EMG) responses, ground reaction forces, and torques on female college-age dancers' knees in selected positions. Subjects were 18 female dancers, aged 18 to 30 years, with 6 subjects from each of three levels: Ballet Technique I, II, and III. The rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis were analyzed in a grande plie in three positions, (1) first, (2) fourth, and (3) fifth, with two phases: (1) eccentric, and (2) concentric. No differences in force or EMG data were found for the concentric phases of the three positions. Significant differences were …
