Effect of a restrictive breathing mask on resistance exercise performance in resistance-trained males.
(2017-07-23)The purpose of this study was to define the impact a RBM has on performance variables, and genes potentially impacted by the stressful nature of the RBM. In a cross-over design, ten participants performed two separate ... -
Effect of a smaller learning community on students in a large high school.
(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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Effect of resistance exercise intensity on the expression of PGC-1alpha isoforms and the anabolic and catabolic signaling mediators, IGF-1 and myostatin, in human skeletal muscle.
(, 2014-06-11)Proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) is a protein mechanistically involved in skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise. Recently, novel isoforms of PGC-1α have been identified, one of which ... -
The effect of roughness element thermal conductivity on turbulent convection.
(2011-05-12)Many flows of engineering interest occur over surfaces that exhibit roughness with thermal conductivities much lower than common metals and alloys. This is especially true of in-service gas turbine blades with surface ... -
The effect of small versus large group learning on music reading accuracy in the choral classroom.
(2007-08-21)The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of two different modes of instruction (large group and small group learning) on the music reading accuracy of high school choir singers. Participants (n = 63) included ... -
The effect of social support and quality of life on attitudes towards drinking in a population of older adults.
(, 2014-09-05)Alcoholism in older adults remains a highly prevalent problem within the United States. The elderly have been identified as a "special population" at risk for developing alcoholism and older adults struggling with alcoholism ... -
The effect of suspended bentonite and kaolinite clay on phosphorus uptake and release by lotic periphyton.
(Springer.Springer.American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers., 2009)Lotic systems act as nutrient buffers to receiving lentic systems. As streams transport allochthonous phosphorus through a watershed, the loads are modified in quantity and quality through biotic and abiotic mechanisms. ... -
Effect of varying feedstock-pretreatment chemistry combinations on the production of potentially inhibitory degradation products in biomass hydrolysates.
(2009-06-02)A variety of inhibitory degradation products are produced during pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass. Production and release of these degradation products is highly affected by the pH and redox potential of pretreatment ... -
The effect team learning has on the development of creativity in a college classroom : an intergrated case study.
(2010-10-08)This study looked at the triadic relationship between the creative and design processes, team learning, and this triad's influence on the student's finished project. While the typical design student works independently ... -
Effects of 28 days of protein and amino acid supplementation and ankle immobilization on gastrocnemius muscle mass and strength and atrophy- and apoptosis-related gene expression in males.
