The effects of negative peer and media influences on adolescent religiosity.
(2011-05-12)Many researchers have demonstrated how peer influences can lead to increases in adolescent religiosity, but none have endeavored to examine the effects of media and peer influences that might lead to decreases in adolescent ... -
Effects of nozzle geometry and extrudate swell on fiber orientation in Fused Deposition Modeling nozzle flow.
(2015-07-31)Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a rapidly growing Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology using extruded thermoplastics to produce intricate three-dimensional parts from digital data. Adding discrete fibers to FDM filament ... -
Effects of nutrient enrichment on alkaline phosphatase activity and nitrogen fixation potential in stream periphyton.
(2007-12-03)In an initial experiment, I evaluated methodological considerations of using a novel nutrient-diffusing substrata (NDS) design to estimate the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) enrichment on alkaline phosphatase ... -
Effects of pitch location and count on professional baseball umpires' ball-strike decisions.
(2014-12-04)In baseball, home plate umpires' perceptual-cognitive skills are tested with each pitch as they are required to judge, with accuracy, whether the ball passed through the imaginary region above home plate known as the strike ... -
Effects of postural restoration therapy compared to traditional therapy on internal rotation in collegiate overhead athletes.
(2015-07-22)Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) is a condition characterized by a decrease in internal rotation when compared bilaterally (Lintner, Mayol. Uzodinma, Jones, Labossiere, 2007). The purpose of this study was ... -
Effects of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine and epigallocatechin gallate on markers of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis after eccentric contraction-induced injury in untrained males.
(2007-02-07)The purpose of this study was the examine the effects of 14 days of prophylactic supplementation of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on changes in peak torque production, muscle soreness, muscle ... -
Effects of recharge events below on-site wastewater drain fields as related to soil type.
(2007-12-03)This study evaluated septic effluent as it was affected by recharge through different soil types. The methodology included a column study involving three soil classifications (types); Type Ib soils (sands and loamy sands), ... -
The effects of resveratrol supplementation on glucose/insulin kinetics and transcription of the AMPK and insulin signaling pathway at rest and following an oral glucose tolerance and graded exercise test in overweight women.
(2010-10-08)The AMPK pathway plays a critical role in glucose metabolism and can potentially improve insulin resistance. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound that activates this pathway. Therefore, the primary purpose of ... -
Effects of self-monitoring on math production and accuracy in sixth grade students with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
(2016-11-18)A single-subject ABAB withdrawal design was used to determine the effects of self-monitoring on attention, engagement, production, and accuracy in math for a sixth-grade student diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity ... -
Effects of stream nutrient enrichment on aquatic insect stoichiometry : importance of life-history traits, sex, and ontogeny.
(, 2014-01-28)I investigated the effects of stream nutrient enrichment on aquatic insect stoichiometry, particularly in the context of species life-history traits, sex, and ontogeny. The majority of studies investigating nutrient content ... -
Effects of suburban development on lizard and snake assemblies in central Texas.
(, 2013-09-16)A common threat to biological communities is habitat degradation, particularly in urban areas. Snakes and lizards (squamates) play significant roles in many ecosystems and may be limited by a variety of thermal conditions, ... -
