Are Bioelectrical Impedance and Skinfolds Considered Valid Measures for Tracking Body Composition Following Resistance Training when DEXA is the Criterion Measure?
<p>The present study was designed to determine if BIA and skinfolds could track changes in body composition like DEXA. Fifty male volunteers participated in a 12-week high-intensity resistance-training program. Body composition was assessed using DEXA, skinfolds (SF), and BIA. Results indicate when …

Bioelectrical impedance analysis as a predictor of fish health and energy content in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… such method is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). BIA is a quick, non-lethal procedure that can estimate the body content of fish by passing an electric current between two electrodes through the tissue of the fish. The focus of this study is to develop predictive equations non-lethally …

Their Culture Against Them: The Assimilation of Native American Children Through Progressive Education, 1930-1960s
<p>The failure of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to successfully assimilate Native Americans, especially Native children through education tactics such as boarding schools, led to a shift in the mid-twentieth century for pro-Indian reform. From the 1930s through the 1950s, BIA education …
