Biochemistry: Improvements in energy metabolism, muscular strength and endurance capacity have a basis in biochemical and molecular adaptations within the human body. The primary function of the exercise biochemistry laboratory staff is to increase our understanding of how cellular adaptations influence whole body function and performance so as to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of physical activity. The laboratory contains the necessary equipment to analyze metabolic and protein characteristics in human tissue. Additionally molecular biology techniques are employed to examine the response of specific genes following acute and chronic changes in physical activity. The goal is to increase our understanding of the specific responses that occur within the human body. The laboratory houses a spectrophotometer, fluorometer, vertical slab gel electrophoresis equipment, agarose gel systems and UV illuminator, thermal cycler for analysis of real time polymerase chain reactions, heating blocks, a cryostat microtome for tissue histochemical analyses, dissecting microscopes and a video microscopy system for single muscle fiber analyses, tissue freeze dryer, as well as standard centrifuges, refrigeration/freezing capabilities, and other supporting equipment. Biomechanics: Biomechanics is the analysis of human movement to enhance performance, improve training, accelerate rehabilitation, and reduce injury risk. This is done by integrating various mechanical aspects of human movement during static and dynamic activities. The major measurements are: Forces generated by various segments of the body and exerted externally to the body. Muscle activation through electromyography. Motion analysis--Using video to create three-dimensional reconstructions in order to measure body positions, velocities, and accelerations. Body Composition: The Body Composition Laboratory is used by faculty and students involved in lifestyle, fitness, and wellness research. It houses state-of-the-art research equipment enabling extremely precise measurement of human body composition, including lean body mass, fat mass, and bone mineral content. Both a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) machine and Bod Pod are located in this laboratory. The DEXA uses two mild x-ray beams to differentiate between muscle, body fat, and bone. Most experts consider DEXA to be the "gold standard" in body composition measurement. DEXA is also the method of choice for the detection of osteoporosis and related bone mineral density problems. Only licensed x-ray radiology technicians can operate the DEXA system. The Bod Pod system is similar to the old hydrostatic weighing method, except air rather than water displacement is used to measure body volume. The Bod Pod does not require a license to operate, and the system produces results that are highly correlated with DEXA findings. Exercise Physiology: Staff of the Exercise Physiology Lab assess a variety of human physiological functions at rest and during aerobic and anaerobic exercise. These include resting metabolic rate; oxygen cost of exercise; cardiovascular, pulmonary, and metabolic responses to exercise; maximal exercise capacity; and muscular strength and flexibility. The exercise physiology lab is a 1500 square foot facility containing treadmills, bicycle ergometers, muscle ergometers, expired gas analysis systems, and food preparation facilities (microwave, electric range, oven and two full size refrigerators). Ongoing endeavors of lab personnel include validating field fitness tests, electrical impedance and near-infrared body composition systems; and evaluating physical activity levels and fitness of children, adolescents, and adults; and assessing fluid and nutritional supplements. Therapeutic Modalities: The Therapeutic Modality Laboratory was established to facilitate the research of athletic training and physical medicine and rehabilitation faculty and students. The major theme of this laboratory is quantifying physiological responses such as temperature and sensation changes resulting from applications of therapeutic modalities, such as ultrasound, diathermy, and cryotherapy.

Summary
Description
The Unpublished Digital Geologic Map of Jewel Cave National Monument and Vicinity, South Dakota is composed of GIS data layers complete with ArcMap 9.3 layer (.LYR) files, two ancillary GIS tables, a Map PDF document with ancillary map text, figures and tables, a FGDC metadata record and a 9.3 ArcMap (.MXD) Document that displays the digital map in 9.3 ArcGIS. These data formats also fully represent all of the features present on a GRI digital map, as well as containing related ancillary information GIS data tables. The data is also available as a 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth. Google Earth software is available for free at: http://www.google.com/earth/index.html. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: U.S. Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (jeca_metadata.xml; available at http://nrdata.nps.gov/geology/gri_data/gis/jeca/jeca_metadata.xml). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:100,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 52 meters or 167 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.1. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The GIS data is available as a 9.3 personal geodatabase (jeca_geology.mdb), and as shapefile (.SHP) and DBASEIV (.DBF) table files. The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 13N, however, for the KML/KMZ format the data is projected upon export to WGS84 Geographic, the native coordinate system used by Google Earth. The data is within the area of interest of Jewel Cave National Monument.

<p>Ultrasound is the only medical imaging modality on the International Space Station due to its size, power requirements and versatility in medical imaging.&nbsp; Unfortunately, ultrasound is&nbsp;a very operator dependent procedure and astronauts&nbsp;do not have&nbsp;time to train sufficiently before flight.Virtual Guidance, a type of just in time training, is a method to facilitate autonomous operation of medical ultrasound by untrained astronauts with an audio/video tutorial.&nbsp; On the International Space Station, astronauts have to be guided through ultrasound studies by experts on the ground.&nbsp; This method is called remote guidance, and&nbsp;has been very successful with communication time delays of&nbsp;2 seconds or less.&nbsp; On missions further from earth, remote guidance will not be possible.&nbsp; Virtual Guidance streams an audio video tutorial to the astronaut through video glasses actually while they are performing the ultrasound study.&nbsp; The tutorial includes step by step instructions in patient positioning, equipment use, how to hold the probe, scanning protocols and required images.&nbsp; For each required image, there is a photograph of the probe location, a representative ultrasound image from the site and audio instructions in how to achieve the view.&nbsp; In addition, there is a section for each required view that covers what can go wrong.&nbsp; This includes images from incorrect locations and how to improve the image to achieve the required results.&nbsp; Virtual guidance has demonstrated successful imaging of the eye and carotid artery.&nbsp; This project builds upon previous successes with Virtual Guidance by incorporating Augmented Reality, in the form of a 3-dimensional anatomical image,&nbsp;improving the astronaut&rsquo;s situational awareness. Untrained ultrasound operators will be recruited in the future to perform Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) exams using only the Virtual Guidance audio/video tutorial. The quality of the resulting Images will be evaluated by an external expert.</p>
