(2018-05)At the recent UNFCCC COP23 meetings, many diplomats and political leaders at all levels would start their proposals for policy goals and action on climate change by citing a disaster their country or region had experiences, ... -
Effectiveness of Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) on Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS): Analysis and Preliminary Tests
(2018-05)Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) have become more common and affordable for government, commercial, and private use. There are several counter sUAS products that employ electromagnetic counter measures to disrupt the ... -
The effects of a brief mindfulness-based intervention on college student overeating.
(2017-12-15)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a brief 2-session mindfulness-based intervention on number of episodes of overeating in the college student population. Students were randomized into the intervention ... -
The Effects of a Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Central and Peripheral Fatigue Following High and Low Intensity Fatiguing Exercise
(2018-05-11)Fatigue is the primary cause of the decline in performance during exercise. A carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to have a beneficial effect during long duration, aerobic exercise. However, the effects of a CHO ... -
The effects of acute melatonin supplementation on central and peripheral responses in healthy humans during sympathetic stimuli
(2023-08-04)There is evidence that melatonin has more functions other than regulating sleeping tendencies such as anti-hypertensive and antioxidant functions, however how melatonin exerts these functions is unknown. PURPOSE: To determine ... -
Effects of Age, Gender, and Genotype on Auditory Processing in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome
(2019-05-10)Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic condition characterized by deletion or mutation of region 22q13.3, which includes the SHANK3 gene. This population is clinically defined as having mildly dysmorphic features, ... -
Effects of an Eight Week Maximal Jumping Intervention on Bone Characteristics in College-Aged Females
(2019-08-01)Peak bone mass occurs between the second and third decade, around a person’s late twenties and is followed by a plateau in bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis can be a result from a failure to achieve peak bone mass ... -
THE EFFECTS OF CASTOR CANADENSIS (NORTH AMERICAN BEAVER) COLONIZATION ON A MINE DRAINAGE IMPACTED STREAM
(2017-12)This study investigated four aspects of North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) colonization: (1) retention of metals in-stream due to the presence of dams, (2) metals contamination and leachability of sediments (3) ... -
THE EFFECTS OF CONDUCTOR FACIAL EXPRESSION ON MUSICAL EXPRESSIVITY IN MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND STUDENTS
(2020-07-30)The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether approving, disapproving, and neutral conductor facial expressions had an effect on middle school band students’ perceived level of expression of wind ensemble performances. ... -
Effects of electrostatic field on mixed convection in vertical channel flows
(1994)ABSTRACT In recent years, the application of electrostatic field to enhance the heat transfer has been one of the areas of interest. In this thesis, an attempt has been made to study laminar mixed convection under the ... -
Effects of Exercise Induced Muscle Damage on Critical Torque and Mitochondrial Function
(2016)The primary aim of this study was to examine the effects of exercise induced muscle damage on critical torque and impulse above end test torque. A secondary purpose was to determine whether mitochondrial function played ... -
The Effects of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Trained Females Following Repeated Sprint Activity
(2018-08)Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of a sprinting protocol to consistently generate exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) using an active female population, and to observe how jumping metrics and ... -
Effects of fibers and pipe rotation on horizontal well cleanout with polymeric fluids
(2022)Rock cuttings deposition is a problem commonly faced during drilling, completion, and intervention activities. Using polymer-based fluids is the to-go technique to improve horizontal hole cleaning. However, the rheological ... -
