(2008-11-10)This study is an investigation into the impact that Smaller Learning Communities might have on students in a large high school. It is a single site study that occurred over the course of three years. Three separate ... -
The Effect of Age and Gender on the Prevalence and Severity of Hypertension in Rural Western Kenya
(2013-05-24)In order to effectively lessen the drastically increasing morbidity of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa, new prevalences must be calculated and the causes and aggravating factors of this disease must be more completely ... -
The Effect of Annotation on Metacomprehension of Text
(2012-05-08)Metacomprehension refers to a person’s ability to monitor what information has been learned through reading. Good metacomprehension is important for efficient studying. Prior research shows that most readers demonstrate ... -
The effect of dietary folate deficiency and age on methylation metabolites, neurotransmitters, and behavior in mice.
(2011-01-05)Severe folate deficiency caused by inborn errors of metabolism has profound deleterious effects in the CNS such as mental retardation, psychiatric disorders, seizures and myelopathy. Mild folate deficiency, due to dietary ... -
Effect of Dipole-Dipole Charge Interactions on Dust Coagulation
(New Journal of Physics, 2009-06-16)This study examines the effect that dipole–dipole charge interactions between fractal aggregates have on the growth of dust grains. Aggregates in a plasma or radiative environment will have charge distributed over their ... -
The effect of dust charge variation, due to ion flow and electron depletion, on dust levitation
(AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011)Using a fluid model, the plasma densities, electron temperature and ion Mach number in front of a powered electrode in different plasma discharges is computed. The dust charge is computed using OML theory for Maxwellian ... -
The Effect of Early-life Status Epilepticus on Ultrasonic Vocalizations in Mice
(2016-08-10)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of kainate-induced early life seizures on vocalization behavior and intracellular signaling pathways involved in nervous system development. On postnatal day 10, ... -
The Effect of Education, Contraception, and Reproductive Health Knowledge on Unplanned Pregnancy and Child Death in Rural Western Kenya
(2013-05-24)East Africa carries the highest burden of unplanned pregnancy worldwide. Many studies have stressed the importance of family planning programs in preventing unplanned pregnancy as well as maternal and child morbidity and ... -
The effect of electrode heating on the discharge parameters in complex plasma experiments
(IOP Publishing, 2011-01-25)Thermophoresis is a tool often applied in complex plasma experiments. One of the usual stated benefits over other experimental tools is that electrode temperature changes required to induce thermophoresis do not directly ... -
The effect of exercise intensity on postprandial blood lipids.
(, 2014-01-28)The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the effects of exercise intensity on the blood lipid response to a high-fat test meal in sedentary, overweight men, and to determine the contribution of excess ... -
The Effect of Hippotherapy on Balance Ability in Subjects with Balance Disorders
(2012-05-02)Hippotherapy is a type of therapy that utilizes the motion of a horse to facilitate the stimulation and stretching of muscles in people with disabilities in order to increase strength, balance ability and coordination. ... -
The Effect of Maternal Fat Specialization on Infant Birthweight
(2012-05-02)In order to maximize the number of infants weighing in the birthweight range associated with the lowest amount of morbidity and mortality (2,500-4,000 grams) the complex interactions between the anthropometric, social, and ... -
The Effect of Mother's Health on Children's Hemolgobin and Lead Levels in Rural Western Kenya
(2014-06-02)The Luo tribe of western Kenya has the highest infant mortality, maternal mortality, and HIV rate in Kenya (Kenya DHS, 2010). This study of 49 mother-child pairs was done in May 2013 in the context of an annual temporary ... -
Effect of Multi-Sized Dust Distribution on Local Plasma Sheath Potentials
(Advances in Space Research, 2006)This work investigates the modification of a plasma sheath in a complex plasma due to the presence of dust particles with a specified size distribution. A self-consistent model for the plasma sheath is combined with a ... -
The Effect of Penetratin and Silica Capping Agents on Silver Nanoparticle Cellular Uptake in a Caco-2 cell line
(2013-05-24)Understanding the biochemical pathway of nanoparticle uptake in human cells has important implications for nanomedicine and occupational health risk assessments. The mechanism of NP uptake in cells remains largely unknown, ... -
The Effect of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Human A549 Cells
(2013-05-24)Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease affecting people of all ages and most studied in children and the elderly. This disease causes swelling of the lung’s airways leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, ... -
Effect of pre-exercise nutrition on human skeletal muscle UCP-3 expression.
(2015-07-13)Uncoupling proteins have been proposed as potential therapeutic target for treating obesity and its related diseases such as type II diabetes mellitus. Free fatty acids (FFA) have been shown to be a possible regulator of ... -
