Effects of a Nutrition/Physical Education Program on Children\u27s BMI
No full textThe research objective was to determine the effectiveness of a nutrition and physical activity intervention in improving the body mass index (BMI)-for-age percentiles of rural Arkansas children at risk for childhood obesity. Comparisons were made between a treatment group participating in a six-week nutrition and physical activity intervention and a control group that did not participate in an intervention. Baseline and ending BMI-for-age percentiles were recorded for all children. Results supported the effectiveness of a multicomponent nutrition intervention program and proved from our hypothesis that there was a statistical difference in the treatment groups of the pre- and post- BMIs
Religious Beliefs on Campus
No full textReligion is crucial to individual daily life to college students. Many religions have different beliefs and traditions. I want to see how many first-year students at Ouachita Baptist University are similar or different in faith compared those students who are in their last years of college

Alif: Building a Bridge
Get PDFThe project is centered around the exploration of Arabic typography and its multi-faceted uses. Arabic calligraphy is an old practice and tradition that has been studied and refined since it was founded. Comparatively, Arabic typography is a much more recent creative study that is still developing, thus there has not been much literature that covers it. Therefore, the main goal of the project is to highlight and integrate Arabic typography with Arabic calligraphy. By doing so, the project builds a bridge within Arabic graphic design, connecting the rich Arabic calligraphy to its newer counterpart, Arabic typography.
In our day and age of inclusivity and fast communication, it is proving to be crucial to create a bridge between languages. Design using Roman and Arabic letterforms is challenging, but worthwhile when it all comes together into one harmonious design. The contrast between the Arabic letterforms and Roman ones is striking when the designer uses the appropriate fonts and calligraphic styles. By bridging that linguistic gap in a functional and aesthetic way, the second goal for the project is to build a bridge between the Arabic design world and the English-speaking design world. Finally, English-speakers who want to learn Arabic and love art will find this as a great starting point due to the educational nature of the content
The Effects of Light Intensity and Cell Structure on the Cultivation of Arthrospira platensis
Get PDFAs scientists explore further into space, more cost-effective resources are needed for long-term space travel. An interesting solution is Arthrospira platensis, a filamentous cyanobacteria high in proteins and nutrients, and known for its helical structure. In unfavorable conditions, coiled spirulina cells become straight. Spirulina converts carbon dioxide gas into pure oxygen and the different cell structures stimulate different responses in oxygen production and cultivation. In these experiments, 2.3 L containers of pure coiled spirulina and mixed (coiled and straight) spirulina were placed into 3 incubators with different light intensities: 51µmol/m2/s, 25µmol/m2/s, 12µmol/m2/s. Each experiment length was 72 hours and the spirulina cultures’ cell concentration, and oxygen production was measured at the 24, 48, and 72 hour mark. During observations, the coiled spirulina expressed a continuous cell concentration growth, whereas the mixed spirulina steadily declined over the 72 hours. Results of this experiment also suggest that coiled spirulina produces more oxygen at an intensity of 25µmol/m2/s and can do so at a lower concentration while growing at a consistent rate. The mixed cultures appear to multiply faster in a lower light intensity, but the oxygen production remains low
