Lohse, Keith R. | Modeling Longitudinal Outcomes: A Contrast of Two Methods | Background: Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) is frequently used to model longitudinal data but does not appropriately account for within-person correlations over time, does not explicitly model time, and cannot flexibly handle missing data. In contrast, mixed-effects regression address... | mixed-effects regression; ANOVA; learning; development | |

Friedrich, Frances; Walker, James A. | Effects of parietal injury on covert orienting of visual attention | The cognitive act of shifting attention from one place in the visual field to another can be accomplished covertly without muscular changes. The act can be viewed in terms of three internal mental operations: disengagement of attention from its current focus, moving attention to the target, and enga... | Dominance, Cerebral; Attention; Extinction, Psychological | 1984-07 |

Symons, John David | Na-H exchange inhibition with Cariporide limits functional impairment caused by repetitive ischemia | Intracellular calcium ([Ca]i) overload on reperfusion may be one of the mechanisms responsible for ischemia-induced regional myocardial dysfunction. Because inhibiting the Na-H exchanger (NHE) limits intracellular sodium ([Na]i) and subsequent [Ca]i accumulation, we hypothesized that NHE inhibition ... | Reperfusion; intracellular calcium; conscious pigs | 1998 |

Martin, Jim | Validation of a mathematical model for road cycling power | This investigation sought to determine if cycling power could be accurately modeled. A mathematical model of cycling power was derived, and values for each model parameter were determined. A bicycle-mounted power measurement system was validated by comparison with a laboratory ergometer. | Aerodynamic drag; Rolling resistance; Air velocity; Gradient; Cycling power; Potential energy; Kinetic energy | 1998 |

Shaw, Janet M. | Long-term exercise using weighted vests prevents hip bone loss in postmenopausal women | Background. Bone mineral density (BMD) is a primary risk factor for hip fracture. We studied the effect of long-term weighted vest plus jumping exercise on hip BMD in postmenopausal women as a strategy for reducing hip fracture risk. Methods. Eighteen postmenopausal women (age 5 64.1 6 1.6 years a... | | 2000 |

Symons, John David | Hyperhomocysteinemia evoked by folate depletion: effects on coronary and carotid arterial function | High circulating concentrations of homocysteine (ie, hyperhomocysteinemia [Hhcy]) impair the vascular function of peripheral conduit arteries and arterioles perfusing splanchnic and skeletal muscle regions. The effects of HHcy on coronary resistance vessel function and other indexes of vascular func... | Hyperhomocysteinemia; Coronary resistance artery; Arterial stiffness; Arterial permeability; Vascular reactivity; Folate depletion; Rat | 2002 |

Jacques, Kerry M. | Arf 1 dissociates from the clathrin adaptor GGA prior to being inactivated by Arf GTPase-activating proteins | The effectors of monomeric GTP-binding proteins can influence interactions with GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) in two ways. In one case, effector and GAP binding to the GTP-binding protein is mutually exclusive. In another case, the GTP-binding protein bound to an effector is the substrate for ... | | 2002 |

Martin, Jim; Pardyjak, Eric R. | Training with power measurement: a new era in cycling training | PROVIDING CYCLISTS WITH A reliable measure of exercise intensity presents unique challenges. Environmental factors such as wind speed, road grade and surface texture, and air density interactively influence the resistance encountered during cycling and thus alter the speed a cyclist can maintain wh... | Exercise; Intensity; Heart rate | 2003 |

Newton, Maria | Predicting the use of sexual initiation tactics in a sample of college women | Significant attention has been focused on women's initiation of sexual contact with men and the point at which this initiation becomes sexual aggression. The purpose of this study was to examine possible predictors of the use of three conceptually distinct sets of sexual initiation tactics: seductio... | Sexual initiation tactics; Coercion; Force; Social learning theory | 2004 |

Martin, Jim | No differences in cycling efficiency between world-class and recreational cyclists | The aim of this experiment was to compare the efficiency of elite cyclists with that of trained and recreational cyclists. Male subjects (N =69)performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion on an electrically braked cycle ergometer. Cadence was maintained between 80-90rpm. | Gross efficiency; Delta efficiency; Cycling efficiency; Economy; VO2peak | 2004 |

Martin, Jim | Torso stabilization reduces the metabolic cost of producing cycling power | Many researchers have used cycling exercise to evaluate muscle metabolism. Inherent in such studies is an assumption that changes in whole-body respiration are due solely to respiration at the working muscle. Some researchers, however, have speculated that the metabolic cost of torso stabilization... | Torso stabilization; Efficiency; Economy; Static contraction; Work | 2005 |
