The Black Belt Environmental Science and Arts Program

The goal of the Black Belt Environmental Science and Arts Program (BBSEAP) is to enhance classroom instruction in the environmental sciences for students in grades 5-8 of selected counties in Alabama\u27s Black Belt region. BBSEAP differs from traditional outreach activities in that public school students come to off-campus, outdoor sites for instruction. The Auburn University Environmental Institute (AUEI) administers the program with support from local Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES) representatives. Since 2005, more than 2,000 students have participated in the program. Funding for BBESAP comes from government and corporate grants

Possible Use of Chlorine Dioxide for Bleaching Deinked Paper Stock

The literature survey shows that chlorine dioxide can be used to bleach virgin pulp to a high brightness. The purpose of chlorine dioxide is to preserve the strength of the pulp. The purpose of this thesis was to find out if chlorine dioxide could be used to preserve the strength of deinked paper stock. Paper stock was found to lose strength when bleached with calcium hypochlorite and mixed with virgin pulp the loss of strength carried over in the mixture. When the paper stock was bleached with chlorine dioxide, there was no loss of strength in the paper stock

Toward A New Equilibrium? Tripolar Politics, 1964-1976

The past 12 years begin to take on the aspect of an historical watershed separating the earlier structure of international relations which emerged in the aftermath of World War II from a new equilibrium which has not yet evolved but whose main outlines now seem dimly visible. The questions are; What were the primary catalytic factors forcing change in this period? How did the United States, the Soviet Union and the People\u27s Republic of China react to the crises and opportunities each faced during these years? What impact will Mao\u27s death have on the likely shape of the future equilibrium

Barefoot Training: Effect on Lateral Pelvic Drop and EMG Activity of Gluteus Medius and TFL

Purpose/Hypothesis: Exercise has been widely accepted for its key role in disease prevention and promotion of healthy lifestyle. Due to its relative ease and low cost, running continues to be one of the most popular forms of exercise today. Although running can have a significant impact on disease prevention, injury prevalence in running is high. Barefoot running is a relatively new form of exercise that has gained popularity amongst the running community. However, enhancing muscular activity at the hip is a rehabilitation strategy, which may reduce lower extremity injury. Research investigating the hip muscle activity and movement with barefoot running is lacking in literature; thus, giving rise to the purpose of this study. This multifactorial study was performed to explore the effect of barefoot training on the muscular activity of the gluteus medius (GM) and tensor fascia latae (TFL) in addition to the degree of lateral pelvic drop. Three hypotheses are being investigated: (1) Does running barefoot increase the activity of the GM, (2) decrease the activity of the TFL (3) decrease the amount of lateral pelvic drop. These hypotheses are being examined by comparing the EMG intensity during running trials both barefoot and shod, in addition to using the VICON, a three-dimensional motion analysis system, to assess lateral pelvic tilt. Materials/Methods: Fourteen subjects, 8 females and 6 males, with a mean age of 23.2 (1.41) completed the pre-testing electromyography (EMG) and VICON motion analyses. EMG muscle activity was recorded during a maximal isometric contraction, barefoot running and walking trial and shod running and walking trial. Lateral pelvic drop was analyzed during pre-testing with the VICON system. Subjects were randomly assigned to a barefoot running group (N=7) and shod running group (N=7). Participants completed a 6-week training program consisting of running twice a week. The first week of training will include 10 minutes of running followed by a 2- minute increase each week totaling 18 minutes of running during the final week. Following the training program, post-test EMG and VICON was performed and analyzed. Results: No significant change in EMG activity of the GM and TFL was found between running barefoot and running shod during pre-testing and post-testing data collection. No significant training effect was found with the amount of lateral pelvic drop comparing pre- and post-testing VICON analyses. Conclusions: Due to no statistically significant change in EMG activity of the GM and TFL during pre- and post-test trials, further research is recommended to explore the impact of a training protocol on GM and TFL muscle activity and lateral pelvic drop. Clinical Relevance: This study provides insight to the muscle activity occurring at the hip when foot attire is altered during initial running trials. No statistically significant change was found between barefoot or shod walking and running which may indicate six weeks of training twice a week may not provide a great enough stimulus to impart significant change in muscle strength and activity. In addition, foot attire may not be a significant factor for altering the muscle activity patterns at the hip. Therefore, a greater impact may be found elsewhere, such as strike pattern rather than foot attire. Further research is recommended to study the impact of strike pattern on activity of the GM and TFL
