This thesis examines the economic performance in developing countries. The 2003 data is collected from 74 developing countries. The level of economic performance is measured by GDP per capita. The independent variables ...

Differential Effects of Challenge and Hindrance Stressors on Decision Making Performance 

Walsh, Julia S. (2010-01-08)
The current study proposed differential relationships of challenge and hindrance stressors on decision-making performance based on the 2-dimensional model of stressors, which was expected to be mediated by perceived control, ...

Differential Effects of Niacin on Adipose Tissue Inflammation, Hepatic Function, and Gut Microbiota Composition in C57BL/6J and B6129SF2/J Mice 

Fang, Han (2019-07-18)  ETD File Embargoed
Background. Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation, development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and altered gut microbiota composition. Niacin is beneficial in inhibiting obesity-associated ...

Differential Functioning by High and Low Impression Management Groups on a Big Five Applicant Screening Tool 

Cox, Brennan (2010-01-29)
The degree to which applicant personality test faking constitutes a real world threat is a topic of considerable debate among industrial and organizational psychologists. Researchers have investigated the faking problem ...

Differential geometry on matrix groups 

Gan, Luyining (2020-03-20)
In this dissertation, we study the differential geometry of the matrix groups. In literatures, many authors proposed to compute matrix means using the geodesic distance defined by an invariant Riemannian metrics on the ...

Differential Modulation of Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission by Polysialic Acid 

Sims, Catrina (2007-12-15)
Controlled modulation and regulation of glutamate receptors are essential for synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The two major types of excitatory glutamate receptors found at the synapse are AMPA and NMDA, which ...

Differential nymphal development of Blattella asahinai and B. germanica and their hybridization potential (Blattodea: Ectobiidae) 

Peterson, Madison Knox (2020-07-14)
The Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai (Blattodea: Ectobiidae), is the closest relative of the German cockroach, B. germanica (L.), and has become a peridomestic nuisance pest in the southeastern United States. However, ...

The Differential Outcome Effect with Typical Adult Humans 

Schmidtke, Kelly (2009-07-02)
A mechanism that affects nonhuman animal learning is expectation, as explored with experiments that produce the differential outcome effect (DOE). To obtain the DOE, animals are trained using a differential outcomes procedure ...
