Abstract:

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Physical activity (PA) is a critical determinant of long term health and is necessary for the prevention of youth onsetadult diseases. It is recommended that all youth accumulate at least 60+ min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) most days of the week in bouts lasting at least 10 min. PURPOSE: To evaluate the PA patterns of Missoula youth in order to make better recommendations for PA interventions for a wellness policy. METHODS: 324 elementary and middle school students from 5 schools wore accelerometers on their wrists for 5 days. The data were converted

The present study sought to determine the influence of environmental conditions and protective clothing on physiological, perceptual and performance responses during batting activity. The investigation examined mean skin temperature, average heart rate, estimated sweat rate, rating of perceived exertion, thermal sensation rating, average sprint time and pre-post choice reaction time. Twenty-five cricketers (18-22 yr, 73.1 ± 9.6 kg, 1768 ± 75 mm, 12.6 ± 3.1% body fat, 1.89 ± 0.16 m2) performed a work-bout consisting of a seven-Over batting period, during which time they faced deliveries from a

Abstract:

The focus of this study was to determine the impact of activity-based costing (ABC) on organizational performance. ABC can support the strategic management process and provide significant benefit to organizations. Empirical research has provided mixed results of ABC success, which has been the center of controversy since the 1980s. This examination utilized the contingency theory as a theoretical basis for the study. The researcher expected to find that ABC organizations succeed or fail to improve performance due to how well they fit their strategies, structures, and managerial accounting prac

Abstract:

Corporate political activity (CPA) has been recognized as a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Its proponents, mostly nonmarket strategy researchers, argue that political capital enables firms to influence their regulatory and policy environments, shape their competitive space, and improve their performance. Consequently, there is a widely held view that the performance of firms depends not only on the ability of managers to exploit economic markets but also on their ability to succeed in political markets. To test the value of political activism, recent scholarship has probed the re

Abstract:

In this thesis, Stochastic Activity Networks (SANs), which are an extension to the Petri Nets, are used for performance evaluation of manufacturing systems. Using our formalism, a manufacturing system is hierarchically represented in three different layers: the manufacturing flow layer, the control layer and the network layer. SAN models are constructed for each of these layers. To simplify the understanding of the manufacturing flow, a new graphical representation, the Manufacturing Flow Network (MFN) has been developed. Conversion of MFN into SAN models simplifies the modeling of manufacturi

Increased levels of obesity, particularly among American youth, have consistently been cause for concern over the last few decades. Additionally, the amount of time youth spend being active throughout the day has consistently decreased. Physical activity levels among school-aged children in America are effected by any number of reasons, but this study points to the possibility of time spent being physically active during the school day having the greatest effect on a student’s overall level of physical activity.

This thesis is composed of three essays that explore different facets of firm performance, innovation, and cross-border economic activity. The first essay documents a systematic shift in the nature of innovation in information technology (IT) towards increasing dependence on software. Using a broad panel of US and Japanese publicly listed IT firms in the period 1983-2004, it shows this change in the nature of IT innovation had differential effects on the performance of the IT industries in the United States and Japan, resulting in US firms increasingly outperforming their Japanese counterparts

Abstract:

The decision to ‘go public’ is an important process in the company life cycle. By making an initial public offering (IPO) of company shares, firms can raise external equity finance, thereby allowing inter alia the cashing-out of entrepreneurs and private equity interests, the funding of growth and expansion opportunities, enhancing the market for corporate control, and facilitating capital restructuring. Consequently, the efficiency of the IPO process and the performance of companies that have gone public has been a longstanding focus in academic research and a key concern for practitioners. T

Abstract:

Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is the phenomenon where contractile history of a muscle may acutely increase voluntary performance of future contractions that are biomechanically similar (72). In order to exploit the PAP phenomenon, a conditioning activity (CA) is performed to enhance the performance of a subsequent skill. Throughout the literature, a common example of a CA is sets of heavy-loaded squats in order to potentiate subsequent jumping (31,33,39,57,83,116,151,163) or sprinting performance (15,28,39,99).

With next-generation missions to the Moon and Mars, exploration EVA will challenge crewmembers in partial gravity environments with increased frequency, duration, and autonomy of operations. Given the distance from Earth, associated communication delays, and durations of exploration missions, there is a monumental shift in responsibility and authority taking place in spaceflight; moving from Earth-dependent to crew self-reliant.

Abstract:

Visuospatial memory supports cognitive functioning and guides one’s navigation through the environment. Spatial processing allows individuals to remember procedural sequence of steps to achieve a certain goal. It plays a vital role in learning, reasoning, problem solving and language comprehension. Additionally, aerobic fitness enhances cognitive functions such that children that have higher levels of aerobic fitness and motor skills also have better attention, spatial memory, and school achievement. The current study measured spatial memory in children (2nd – 5th grade) to assess developmenta

Abstract:

As mobile phone connections approach two billion worldwide and become steadily more available and affordable, demands for scientific studies on the effect of such EMFs on human functioning similarly increase. The current thesis systematically investigated the effects of acute mobile phone exposure on human brain activity and performance using an in-vivo approach. The research question comprised the following parts: First, is human neural function sensitive to acute mobile phone exposure? Second, if so, what processes are affected? Third, if so, do these neural changes affect gross measures of

Abstract:

In the context of a changing world, and faced with a scientific analysis that unequivocally links corporate activity with climactic changes which might threaten humankind, any study of financial reporting needs to be placed in perspective. If the science is correct, then it is the contention of this thesis that capital market activity is complicit in the destruction of the Earth’s biosphere and that accounting, in terms of the rules that govern corporate activity and the financial reporting, is an essential link in this chain. Previous research has sought to demonstrate links among social disc
