The effect of a non-circadian photoperiod on the growth, physiology, and production of a romaine lettuce cultivar
(2022)The circadian rhythm serves to match plant physiology and behavior with the environmental cycles caused by the rotation of the planet. The circadian rhythm contributes towards the structure and function of plants and ... -
The Effect of Acute Citrulline Malate Supplementation on Mitochondrial Function, Oxygen Saturation, Handgrip Critical Force, and Recovery of Force in the Forearm Muscles.
(2023-05-12)Citrulline Malate has possible exercise performance enhancement abilities due to the vasodilatory effect of nitric oxide produced from citrulline combined with a possible increase in mitochondrial efficiency from malate. ... -
Effect of Alignment on Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Polyethylene/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composite Materials
(2017-05)Polymers offer several advantages such as low cost, light weight, corrosion resistance and ease of processing, however, they have much lower intrinsic thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) compared to metals (> 20 W/mK) which ... -
EFFECT OF ALIGNMENT ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYETHYLENE-GRAPHENE COMPOSITES AND COMPARISON WITH EFFECTIVE MEDIUM THEORY
(2019-08-01)Polymers show low thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) in comparison to metals (>20 W/mK). Increased thermal conductivity of polymers can lead to useful applications in industry. The main objective of this research is to analyze ... -

Effect of biodegradation on tar sand bitumen of South Woodford Area, Carter County, Oklahoma
(1987)Tar-sand bitumens from the South Woodford Area have been analyzed to study effects of biodegradation on oils and to determine their possible sources. The tar-sand deposits, located approximately 1.5 miles south of Woodford, ... -
EFFECT OF BIOMASS COMPOSITION ON HEMICELLULOSE, CELLULOSE, AND LIGNIN DERIVED THERMAL PRODUCTS VIA TORREFACTION/PYROLYSIS
(2019-07-25)Modern industrialization has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for petroleum-based fuel production and electricity generation. Exploitation of fossil fuel reserves have, however, raised grave environmental concerns due ... -
Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on Moisture Absorption Properties of Epoxy Laminates
(2016-08)There have been conflicting studies for how multi-walled carbon nanotube reinforcement will affect the moisture absorption properties of an epoxy laminate. The carbon nanotubes were meant to act as a hindrance for the ... -
THE EFFECT OF CHATBOTS RESPONSE LATENCY ON USERS’ TRUST
(2020-05-08)Chatbots are widely used as conversational agents and being designed using anthropomorphic design guidelines. However, response latency (response latency is the time it takes for a chatbot/person to provide a response ... -
Effect of Curing Temperature on Nanomodified Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
(2023-12-15)Dispersion of pristine and functionalized-COOH carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the resin matrix used to develop fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is known to improve FRP properties such as shear strength, UV resistance, ... -
