Effect of different protein sources on intestinal crypt cell proliferation and density of macrophages in neonatal piglets
(2021-11-22)
Pre-weaning mortality is one of the major concerns for the swine industry since it can negatively affect production efficiency. Since the piglet immune system is not fully developed at birth, they are more likely to suffer ...
Effect of Different Synthesis Conditions on the Physical and Chemical Properties of MXenes (Two-dimensional Transitional Metal Carbides/Nitrides)
(2021-07-21)
Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials first discovered in 2011. They have gained huge interest over the last decade due to their excellent physical and chemical ...
Effect of Dispersion of SWCNTs on the Viscoelastic and Final Properties of Epoxy Based Nanocomposites
(2010-01-11)
The properties of polymer nanocomposites depend primarily on the dispersion of nanoparticles and the interaction between nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. Homogeneous dispersion and good interfacial adhesion can transfer ...
The Effect of Drama Activities in the Second Language Classroom: Vocabulary Acquisition and Fluency Development
(2015-05-07)
Recent studies stress the benefits of using drama activities in the L2 classroom to improve oral skills, based on qualitative analyses rather than on empirical evidence. This thesis explores, through quantitative analysis, ...
The Effect of Early Dietary Amino Acid Restrictions on Serum Metabolites in Pigs Selected for Lean Growth Efficiency
(2005-12-15)
Thirty-two select line and 32 control line pigs (average, 20 kg) were used in each of the two experiments to assess the effect of dietary amino acid restrictions during the grower phase on serum metabolites. In Exp. 1, 16 ...
Effect of Eggshell Translucency and Color on Broiler Egg Hatchability and Chick Quality and its Relationship with Other Eggshell Quality Parameters
(2023-11-29)
A successful hatch has a considerable economic impact on the poultry industry. The relationship between eggshell quality and hatchability has been demonstrated over the years through parameters such as thickness, eggshell ...
The Effect of Event Boundaries on Repetition Reduction Among Individuals with Previous Experience of mTBI
(2022-05-01)
Previous research has shown that event boundaries have a ‘reset’ effect on repetition reduction within conversational speech. Other studies have shown that the ‘Location Updating Effect’ impacts memory, even within a virtual ...
The Effect of Everyday Informal Learning Activities on Lifelong Learning Mindset and Civic Engagement in U.S. Adults: Towards a Learning Cities Theory of Change
(2022-04-25)
The concept of a learning city has existed since the Faure et al. (1972) report proclaimed that lifelong learning was the path to a global learning society where all humans could achieve their best selves and by extension ...
Effect of Experimental Parameters on Simultaneous Thermal Analysis
(2007-05-15)
Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is a very effective way to measure both the heat capacity and the phase transition temperature in thermal processes. With the continued development of computational models of thermal ...
Effect of Extended Exposure Topotecan on Drug Resistance Using a Novel 3D Spheroidal Model of Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
(2023-04-24)
Cancer consistently commands the highest number of therapeutic drug approvals each year, however, this has yet to yield significant clinical benefits for metastatic disease. Instead, most drugs are likely to increase ...
Effect of Fertilizer Rate and Panel Orientation on Growth and Fruit Yield of Sweet ’n’ Neat Cherry Tomato in Greenhouse Vertical Production
(2017-07-28)
This study evaluated container production of Sweet 'n' Neat cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersium L.) using a novel, inexpensive A-frame vertical structure compared to a traditional horizontal bench production system in a ...
Effect of Forest Structure on the Understory Light Environment and Growth Potential of Oak Seedlings in a Closed Canopy Riparian Forest
(2005-12-15)
This research was designed to examine the relationship between the residual structure following low intensity partial cutting regimes and the light characteristics found in a riparian hardwood forest. The relationships ...
The Effect of Formal Mentoring Programs on Persistence of College Sophomores
(2018-12-06)
Retention has been an issue in higher education for decades (Freedman, 1956; Noel et al., 1986; Tinto, 1987, 2012). Many attempts have been made to address this issue, with most research focusing on the freshman year. ...
The Effect of Gelatin and Dietary Crude Protein Level on Broilers Vaccinated for Coccidiosis
(2008-08-15)
Vaccinating for coccidiosis has been shown to adversely affect live performance of broilers compared to those given a dietary anticoccidial. Feeding diets with higher crude protein alleviates negative response to vaccination, ...
