NSC 260 Exam 1 With Questions And 100% ALL VERIFIED ANSWERS
Terms in this set (60)
The first 4 questions of the quiz require you to ~781
navigate to pubmed.gov in another window. This
exercise should help you to 'get your feet we' with
database searching. The number of results you get
initially may be overwhelming, so it's important to
remember that the filers are there, and how to use
them. The filters in these questions are just
examples, and are not meant to represent how
you should approach every search. In the search
box, type 'beta carotene smokers'.
How many results did you get?
Let's try some filters. On the left side, click on 'free ~69
full text' under text availability, and 'clinical trial'
under article type. How many results do you have
now?

Click on 'additional filters' and then choose human ~65
under 'species', english under 'language' and age

check the boxes for the three filters above. How
many results do you have now?
Finally, under publication date, select '5 years'. ~9
How many results do you have now?
The next 8 questions require the following 5
instructions and background:
Navigate to the UA library in another window at:
https://new.library.arizona.edu/ Next, click on 'see
all databases' then click on 'p'. Scroll to the
bottom and click on the pubmed link that says
'UA/HSL' next to it. The public pubmed from
question #1 above is good - but won't offer as
many full text articles as the version of pubmed
through the UA library. (As a UA student, you pay
a library fee each semester that allows you this
special access.) It's important that you understand
how to navigate this page to maximize full-text
availability. And even if what you are looking for
isn't here, you can request that the library obtain a
full text for you through inter-library loan at no
charge. Let me know if you'd like more info on
that.)
Put in the search terms 'theanine anxiety'. If there
are any filters still on from a previous search, they
will show up as a yellow highlighted message. If
you see that, click on the link that says 'clear all'. At
the upper right, make sure your results are sorted
by 'best match'.
Based on the citation alone (what you see in the
list list without clicking on anything), how many of
the first 10 results are review articles?
Are the review articles examples of primary or secondary
secondary publications? (See a document in the
content area to help you with this one)

Access this abstract: 'Anti-Stress, Behavioural and Yes, because they are describing a single study
Magnetoencephalography Effects of an L-
Theanine-Based Nutrient Drink' by clicking on the
hyperlink within the results. Is this an example of
primary research? How do you know?
How many participants completed the study from 34
the previous question?
Click on the full text link at the upper right. Then 4
look to the left, under 'article versions' click on 'full
text pdf'. In the pdf, what page does the 'methods'
section begin on?
On average, were the people in the study healthy weight
overweight or healthy weight? (See table 1)
How much L-theanine did the participants get in 200 mg
each treatment? (See section 2.3: Treatment)
Return to the database list in the library website. 7
Click on 'p', then click on 'PsychInfo'. Type
theanine anxiety into the first search box and then
click on 'search'. How many results do you get
here? (Note - this is meant to be an example of
how to cross reference a topic in another
database. Pubmed is the one used most often in
nutritional sciences, but is not the only option.
Students with topics that may involve behavioral
research, for example, would benefit from using
PsychInfo).
For the next 3 questions: Return to pubmed and 5
clear all filters. Type 'cardamom nutrition' in the
search box. On the left, select filters for human,
last 5 years, and clinical trial. How many articles
are you left with?
