Objective: To investigate the effects of an 8-week walking training program on glycemic control, lipid profile, and inflammatory markers in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Design: A pilot, single-group, pretest-posttest study.…

This revised clinical practice guideline (CPG) addresses the distinct but related lower extremity impairments of those with a first-time lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and those with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Depending on many factors, impairments…

o promote active transportation modes (such as bike ride and walking), and to create safer communities for easier access to transit, it is essential to provide consolidated data-driven transportation information to the public. The relevant and timely…

The paper examines Housing First (HF) policy in the context of Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act ([HEARTH], 2009) using a policy analysis framework. The analysis follows Ginsberg and Miller-Cribbs’ (2005) common…

Drawing on field evaluation surveys, this qualitative case study explored one BSW senior cohort’s (N = 29) perceived characteristics for successful completion of field, experience with field supervisor, and positive aspects of and concerns related to…

Salmonid populations of the Central Valley of California have been in decline for decades, making hatchery practices that combine conservation strategies with targeted research essential to optimize recruitment to adulthood. Hatchery populations…

This paper introduces the collection of manuscripts from the symposium, “Biology Beyond the Classroom: Experiential Learning through Authentic Research, Design, and Community Engagement,” presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for…

Populations of insects can differ in how sensitive their development, growth, and performance are to environmental conditions such as temperature and daylength. The environmental sensitivity of development can alter phenology (seasonal timing) and…

Background High-quality genomic resources facilitate investigations into behavioral ecology, morphological and physiological adaptations, and the evolution of genomic architecture. Lizards in the genus Sceloporus have a long history as important…

MUC16 is a membrane bound glycoprotein involved in the progression and metastasis of pancreatic and ovarian cancer. The protein is shed into the serum and the resulting cancer antigen 125 (CA125) can be detected by immunoassays. The CA125 epitope is…

Studies that utilize radio frequency plasma modification as a strategy to tune the surface properties of polymeric constructs with the goal of enhancing their use as biomedical devices have grown considerably in number over the past decade. In this…

Viruses have drawn significant scientific interest from a wide variety of disciplines beyond virology because of their elegant architectures and delicately balanced activities. A virus-like particle (VLP), a noninfectious protein cage derived from…

The availability of phosphorus limits primary production in large regions of the oceans, and marine microbes use a variety of strategies to overcome this limitation. One strategy is the production of alkaline phosphatase (APase), which allows…

Yosemite National Park, California, is one of the best-documented sites of historical rockfalls and other rock slope failures; however, past work shows that this record does not capture the infrequent largest occurrences, prehistoric events orders of…

Prior studies have hypothesized that some polluted white dwarfs record continent-like granitic crust—which is abundant on Earth and perhaps uniquely indicative of plate tectonics. But these inferences derive from only a few elements, none of which…

Field relationships in the Franciscan Complex of California suggest localization of subduction slip in narrow zones (≤300 m thick) at the depths of ~10–80 km. Accretionary and non-accretionary subduction slip over the ca. 150 Ma of Franciscan history…

This paper begins with a survey of some applications of Khovanov homology to low-dimensional topology, with an eye toward extending these results to sl(n) homologies. We extend Levine-Zemke’s ribbon concordance obstruction from Khovanov homology to…

Typically, undergraduates see real analysis as one of the most difficult courses that a mathematics major is required to take. The main reason for this perception is twofold: Students must comprehend new abstract concepts and learn to deal with these…

We study the zero distribution of the sum of the first n polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence whose coefficients are linear polynomials. We also extend this sum to a linear combination, whose coefficients are powers of az + b for a, b ∈ R,…

We extend the well-known characterizations of convergence in the spaces lp (1 ≤ p < ∞) of p-summable sequences and c0 of vanishing sequences to a general characterization of convergence in a Banach space with a Schauder basis and obtain as instant…
