This study is the continuation of a broader eating disorder study with a focus on males, which examines the influence of body image, sociocultural attitudes, appearance anxiety, and depression on disordered eating behaviors among college students. Based on EAT-26 scores, 10.5% of males were at risk of an eating disorder. Body image dissatisfaction was almost as common among males (65.2%) as females (68.6%) and BMI was not a significant predictor of dissatisfaction. Among participants who reported dissatisfaction with their bodies, eating disorder risk was higher among females than males. While there were differences between
ABOUT THE AUTHORSThis study is a result of the synergy among faculty, who have been working together to examine disordered eating, not only to contribute to the knowledge base on the subject, but also to help their students more effectively.
In Part I of this series, air pressure and air velocity are measured on an air-jet filling insertion simulator with tube and profiled reed. In this second part, the filling yarn insertion time is measured on the air-jet filling insertion simulator with the profiled reed, and yarn velocity is calculated. The effects of supply pressure and running speed bn filling insertion are analyzed, as are the effects of yarn hairiness, twist, ply, yarn count, and yarn manufacturing system on insertion time. The results show that most of the yarn properties have an effect on yarn insertion behavior.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the air flow and effect of several parameters on weft insertion, and thus to provide a valuable guide for both air-jet weavers and researchers by establishing a better understanding of air-yam interactions in air-jet weaving machines. Air pressure and velocity are measured on the air-jet weaving machine simulator, along with the effects of running conditions on air velocity and air pressure. The influences of running speed, supply pressure, and distance on the insertion channel are analyzed. The significance of these system parameters on air flow characteristics during insertion is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
