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, ...
Effect of Genetics on Body Weight Variability in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Female X Blue Catfish (I. furcatus) Hybirds
(2017-11-17)
Hybrid catfish have become common in the catfish production industry in the United States accounting for 50-70% of all catfish produced. Variable body weight of hybrid catfish can create production and marketing problems ...
The Effect of Grid Resolution on Hydrodynamic Modeling of Biscayne Bay
(2024-01-08)
Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code Plus (EFDC+) is a model that has been proven to be effective in hydrodynamic simulation. Understanding water surface elevation (WSE) and salinity dynamics in estuaries is crucial for ...
Effect of H2O and H2O2 on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Selected Natural and Synthetic Polymer Structures
(2011-11-15)
Modern transportation systems may be subjected to unintentional contamination from infected passengers as well as deliberate contamination from terrorism. Hydrogen peroxide has been used for years as a disinfectant in the ...
Effect of Host Age and PKH26 Dye Concentration on Stem Cell Viability, Colonization Rate, and Offspring Performance for Production of Xenogenic Catfish
(2020-05-15)
Xenogenesis has been identified as an innovative technology for hybrid catfish (♀ channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus × ♂ blue catfish, I. furcatus) embryo production. Currently, blue catfish donor stem cells are collected ...
Effect of hydrologic and hydraulic calculation approaches on pier scour estimates
(2023-12-05)
Bridge scour, a phenomenon characterized by the erosion and removal of sediment from the vicinity of bridge foundations, is a significant concern in the fields of civil engineering and infrastructure management. There are ...
Effect of Hydroponic System Type on Growth and Nutrient Uptake of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa ‘Rex’) Irrigated with Aquaculture Effluent
(2021-11-22)
Aquaponics (AP) combines the use of traditional hydroponic (HP) practices with aquaculture effluent which is used to irrigate and provide necessary nutrients to the plants. Current methods of HP production include Nutrient ...
The Effect Of Illumination On Medication Preparation Errors In A Long Term Care Facility
(2011-09-07)
The main objectives of this study were to (1) measure the effect of increased illumination levels on the medication preparation error rate in a long term care facility, and (2) measure the effect of increased illumination ...
Effect of Implicit Leadership Theories on Performance Appraisal
(2010-12-10)
This thesis tests two predictions about the use of implicit leadership theories (ILT) in performance evaluations: 1) that performance evaluations are systematically distorted in accordance with ILT expectations, and 2) ...
Effect of In Phase and Out of Phase Forcing on Circular Cylinder Wake
(2013-01-03)
Using periodic forcing, the control of instabilities in the wake of a circular cylinder was investigated. The cylinder model had two straight slits, one on each side, that were connected to separate low frequency and high ...
Effect of Increasing Intra-Abdominal Pressures on Hemodynamic Variables and Biomarkers of Ischemia and Acute Inflammation in the Horse
(2017-04-20)
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is defined as increased pressure within the confines of the abdominal cavity. As pressure rises, ischemia of the splanchnic organs will result from direct compression of the organs and ...
