Validity of bioimpedance for the assessment of total body and segmental fat-free mass in older men and women and a comparison of methods used to classify sarcopenia
(2009)The purpose of the current investigation was to evaluate the validity of several total body fat-free mass (FFM), muscle mass (TBMM), water (TBW), and appendicular lean mass (ALM) equations in older adults compared to a ... -

Validity of laboratory and field methods for predicting fat free mass in elite male rowers
(2012)The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of air displacement plethysmography, ultrasound, near-infrared interactance, and skinfold measurements in estimating fat-free mass in elite male rowers. Twenty-three ... -

Validity of participant recorded pedometer step logs in free-living adults.
(2005)Purposes. The purposes of this study were to (1) examine the validity of participant recorded pedometer step logs, (2) examine the relationship between steps per day and percent bodyfat (% BF), and (3) examine differences ... -
THE VALUE OF A JOURNALISM DEGREE: AN ANALYSIS OF WHAT NEWSPAPER EDITORS CONSIDER WHEN HIRING JOURNALISM SCHOOL GRADUATES AND WHAT JOURNALISM SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS CONSIDER WHEN EDUCATING THESE GRADUATES
(2019-05-10)Journalism schools have seen their enrollment numbers ebb and flow for decades though never more so than in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. After the Internet became a serious mode of news delivery, the face of ... -
The Value of Aesthetic Experience
(2014-08-15)In this dissertation, I argue that aesthetic experience is a kind of valuing experience that has certain, objective features not dependent on the psychological state of the subject. Accounts of aesthetic experience can ... -
The value of point-scale measurements of soil moisture in planetary boundary layer simulations.
(2001)This study also investigates the sensitivity of ground heat flux estimates at NORM to naturally occurring variability in soil-water content from field samples as well as instrumentation biases associated with the in situ ... -
Valuism: A New Theory of Knowledge
(2021-05-14)Since Plato, epistemologists have tried to explain why knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief. Traditionally, they have tried to answer this by defining knowledge as true belief plus some additional properties ... -

VAPOR PHASE UPGRADING OF RENEWABLE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND OXYGENATES OVER BRØNSTED ZEOLITES
(2017-08)Ketonization of acetic acid is a powerful route to convert these problematic acids into stable building blocks to produce fuels and chemicals. This reaction is investigated over HZSM-5 via a combination of temperature ... -

Variability of Tropical Cyclones in the Philippines
(2014-05-09)The massive impacts of tropical cyclones (TCs) on the Philippines are well known. This study provides an improved understanding of TC activity in the country, allowing improved risk mitigation strategies that possibly can ... -
Variable returns to scale and the pure theory of international trade.
(1982)Recently, trade theorists have shown that perfect competition and static increasing returns can be reconciled by the introduction of external economies and the competitive output is efficient when the externalities are ... -
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE DIFFUSE REFLECTION INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY AND THERMOGRAVIMETRY- MASS SPECTROMETRY INVESTIGATIONS OF BENZOIC ACID INTERACTIONS WITH SODIUM AND CALCIUM MONTMORILLONITE CLAYS
(2015-05-08)Molecular interactions between benzoic acid and cations and water contained within montmorillonite clay interlayer spaces and processes involved in thermal desorption of benzoic acid from sodium and calcium montmorillonite ... -
Variables Affecting Motivation For Father Involvement: A Self-Determination Approach
(2016-05-13)The present study was designed to assess the predictive relationships between motivation and father involvement from the perspective of Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) for married fathers with at least one ... -
