Ferguson, Sarah Hargus | Across-talker effects on non-native listeners' vowel perecption in noise | This study explored how across-talker differences influence non-native vowel perception. American English (AE) and Korean listeners were presented with recordings of 10 AE vowels in /bVd/ context. The stimuli were mixed with noise and presented for identification in a 10-alternative forced-choice t... | | 2010 |

Martin, Jim | Time course of learning to produce maximum cycling power | The purpose of this investigation was to determine the time course and magnitude of learning effects associated with repeated maximum cycling power tests and to determine if cycle-trained men exhibit different learning effects than active men who are not cycle-trained. Cycle-trained (N = 13) and act... | Training; Pedaling; Cycle-trained | 2000 |

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 |

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 |

Shultz, Barry B. | Lumbar segmental mobility disorders: comparison of two methods of defining abnormal displacement kinematics in a cohort of patients with non-specific mechanical low back pain | Background: Lumbar segmental rigidity (LSR) and lumbar segmental instability (LSI) are believed to be associated with low back pain (LBP), and identification of these disorders is believed to be useful for directing intervention choices. Previous studies have focussed on lumbar segmental rotation an... | | 2006 |

Jalili, Thunder | Quercetin: a treatment for hypertension? - a review of efficacy and mechanisms | Quercetin is a polyphenolic flavonoid. Common sources in the diet are apples, onions, berries, and red wine. Epidemiological studies have found an inverse relationship between dietary quercetin intake and cardiovascular disease. This has led to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical research to determine ... | | 2010 |

Painter, Patricia Lynn | Associations of self-reported physical activity types and levels with quality of life, depression symptoms, and mortality in hemodialysis patients: The DOPPS | Background and objectives Physical activity has been associated with better health status in diverse populations, but the association in patients on maintenance hemodialysis is less established. Patient-reported physical activities and associations with mortality, health-related quality of life, and... | | 2014-01-01 |

Symons, John David | Ceramide-induced disruption of endothelial nitric oxide synthase dimerization in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) is not secondary to peroxynitrite formation | An estimated 23.6 million individuals in the United States have diabetes and of those 90-95% have type II diabetes. Cardiovascular complications (e.g., hypertension and vascular dysfunction) are four-fold more prevalent in patients with type II diabetes.1 The mechanism(s) responsible for increased s... | | 2010-01-01 |

Roy, Nelson | Case-control study of risk factors for spasmodic dysphonia: a comparison with other voice disorders | Objectives: This epidemiology study examined risk factors uniquely associated with spasmodic dysphonia (SD). Study Design: Case-control. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 150 patients with SD (with and without coexisting vocal tremor) and 136 patients with other structural, neurological, ... | | 2012-01-01 |

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 | |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Dibble, Leland E. | Development of a scale to assess avoidance behavior due to a fear of falling: the fear of falling avoidance behavior questionnaire | Background. A history of falls or imbalance may lead to a fear of falling, which may lead to self-imposed avoidance of activity; this avoidance may stimulate a vicious cycle of deconditioning and subsequent falls. Objective. The purpose of this study was to develop a questionnaire that would quanti... | | 2011 |

Symons, John David | Influence of folate on arterial permeability and stiffness in the absence or presence of hyperhomocysteinemia | Elevation of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.1 Worldwide, the most common cause of mild hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is deficiency of folate.2,3 Some4-8 but not all9,10 studies sugg... | Cystathionine B-synthase; Carotid artery; Aorta; Cardiovascular risk factors; Folate; Hyperhomocysteinemia; Arterial permeability; Arterial stiffness | 2006 |

Wambaugh, Julie L. | Apraxia of speech: perceptual analysis of trisyllabic word productions across repeated sampling occasions | Early apraxia of speech (AOS) research has characterized errors as being variable, resulting in a number of different error types being produced on repeated productions of the same stimuli. Conversely, recent research has uncovered greater consistency in errors, but there are limited data examining ... | | 2011-01-01 |
