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 ...
The Effect of Incubation Temperature on Sex and Morphology in the African Redhead Agama (Agama picticauda)
(2017-11-30)
The first demonstration of temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in a vertebrate was in the African redhead agama (Agama agama) nearly 50 years ago. The original study was generally overlooked until it was later ...
Effect of incubation temperature variation and genetic selection on broiler chicken growth performance, skeletal muscle growth characteristics, and meat yield
(2018-11-14)
Throughout the last 5 decades, the broiler industry has focused its efforts toward higher meat yields and more efficient production, leading to the adoption of state-of-the-art technology for production and as a way of ...
Effect of Independent Reading on Fourth Graders' Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension
(2008-05-15)
Acquiring an extensive vocabulary can have an enormous effect on one’s comprehension, fluency, and the ability to speak effectively to others. One way to acquire this widespread vocabulary is through reading a wide array ...
The Effect of Initial Curing Temperature and Duration on the 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete
(2023-04-19)
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of initial curing temperature and duration on the 28-day compressive strength of concrete. To determine the relationship between initial curing temperature and duration ...
Effect of Ionic Strength on Cellulose Nanocrystal Dispersion Viscosity and Surface Modification of Thin Film
(2018-01-19)
The primary aim of this research was to explore the effect ionic strength on aqueous cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) dispersions with a range of concentrations spanning isotropic, biphasic, and liquid crystalline regimes. The ...
The Effect of Irrigation Frequency on Growth and Physiology of Native Landscape Shrub Species
(2007-12-15)
Studies were conducted utilizing the Horhizotron™ to evaluate horizontal root growth of Morella cerifera (L.) Small (syn. Myrica cerifera) (wax myrtle) and Illicium floridanum Ellis (Florida anise tree) when portions of ...
Effect of Kisspeptin on the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis of the Mare
(2008-12-15)
Kisspeptin, a neuropeptide product of the KiSS-1 gene, has recently been shown to control the timing and release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus in laboratory animals and move anestrus ewes ...
The Effect of Land Use/Land Cover on Headwater-Slope Wetlands in Baldwin County, Alabama
(2012-12-17)
Land use and land cover (LULC) have been shown to greatly influence aquatic environments although very few studies have described the effect on headwater wetlands. The overall goal of this research was to assess the impact ...
Effect of Land-applied Arsenicals on the Soils of Alabama
(2010-08-03)
Many agricultural practices apply arsenicals directly to land through agricultural practices. Over time, repeated land-application of arsenicals may result in accumulation of arsenic in the soil. This may be problematic ...
