-
3.00 Credits
This course builds on the principles of economics to analyze the problems in achieving an efficient allocation of resources. It provides the theoretical concepts for evaluating environmental policies and the tools necessary in the application of benefit/cost analysis. Prereq: ECO 201. (Same as AEC 545.)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the concepts and methods of compilation, management, analysis, and display of spatially-referenced data. Lectures will be complemented with computer based laboratory exercises. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, four hours per week. Prereq: Fourth/fifth year LA major, junior/senior, or graduate student, CS 101, FOR 200 or GEO 415, or permission of instructor. (Same as LA 855.)
-
4.00 Credits
Emphasis will be on macronutrient assimilation and utilization and will include lectures, discussions and student presentations related to energy balance and protein-lipid-carbohydrate metabolism and its relationship to health maintenance. This course integrates biochemistry, physiology and nutrition with regards to macronutrient metabolism. Prereq: NFS 311 and PGY 206 or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as CNU 601.)
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed study of the properties, metabolism, biochemical and physiological functions and interactions of vitamins and minerals, and their relationships to deficiency symptoms and toxicity. Prereq: BCH 401G or consent of instructor. (Same as ASC 602.)
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis on factors influencing the absorption of fats and fatty acids, distribution and incorporation of fatty acids into body tissues, the biosynthesis of and catabolism of fatty acids, as well as cholesterol, bioactive eicosanoid production and the involvement of fats in the disease process. Lecture and problem-based learning approach with incorporation of student presentations, three hours per week. Prereq: NS/CNU 601, BCH 401G and PGY 412G or consent of instructor. (Same as CNU 604.)
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis is directed toward nutrition as applied to prevention of disease through lifestyle management and the application of nutrition in exercise and sport. Targeted focus areas are: body composition and energy expenditure, the metabolic basis of weight management, nutrient needs throughout the lifecycle, the metabolic changes associated with obesity, behavioral management of obesity, nutrient metabolism and exercise, water and electrolyte balance during exercise, nutritional ergogenic aids, nutrition-strength and performance enhancement. Prereq: PGY 412G, and BCH 401G or equivalent or consent of instructor. (Same as CNU/PT 605.)
-
2.00 Credits
Focus will be on the use of the most recently developed techniques and model systems in molecular biology for studying nutrient regulation of gene expression. Examples include current problems in nutrition such as models for engineering plants containing more desirable nutrient sources (fats); for studying effects of various nutrients in transgenic mice on tumor suppressor genes and oncogene expression, that are important in cancer prevention; and for studying nutrient effects on genes that modulate obesity. Prereq: BCH 501 and 502 or equivalent; or BCH 401G and consent of instructor. (Same as CNU 606.)
-
3.00 Credits
This team-taught course will provide background in topics and methods in food related behaviors to students in Nutritional Sciences and other interested students. The course will follow a problem-based learning approach, and will consist of 3 out of 4 modules in any given year. The four modules will be Social and Cultural Perspectives on Food, Psychological Perspectives on Food and Food Behaviors, Challenges to Community Food Security, and International Issues in Nutrition. (Same as ANT 607, NFS 607, BSC 607.)
-
3.00 Credits
Theories and mechanisms of immunity will be introduced. The effects of nutrition on immunity will be discussed from experimental and clinical perspectives. A lecture and problem-based learning approach with incorporation of student presentations, three hours per week. Prereq: PGY 412G and CNU 601, or consent of instructor. (Same as CNU 608.)
-
1.00 Credits
Students will examine ethical issues in biomedical research using a case-study approach. Representative issues addressed may include data selection and retention, plagiarism, scientific review of grants and manuscripts, scientific misconduct, and informed consent. Prereq: Graduate student status. (Same as CNU 609.)
