(2017-11-17)
Clostridium perfringens-associated necrotic enteritis (NE) costs the international poultry industry an estimated $6 billion annually. Traditionally, the incidence of NE has been controlled by the use of antibiotic growth ...
The Effects of Fertilization and Four Years of Throughfall Reduction on Leaf Physiology of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.)
(2015-12-10)
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is the most widely planted pine species in the southeastern United States. Increased frequency of drought associated with projected climate change may negatively impact loblolly pine productivity. ...
The Effects of Fitness Experts and Exercise Facilities on Physical Fitness in the Officer Candidate School Population
(2021-04-29)
Introduction:
The Army recently overhauled its approach to physical fitness. A newly introduced training methodology called Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) seeks to integrate novelties such as the use of certified fitness ...
The Effects of Fixed-Time Reinforcement Schedules on Functional Response Classes: A Translational Study.
(2011-01-24)
Research on functional response classes (i.e., all response topographies under the same operant control) has applied significance because less severe forms of problem behavior have been found to co-occur with other, more ...
The effects of fluctuating embryonic incubation temperatures and nighttime light exposure on the physiology of zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
(2022-06-29)
Anthropogenic effects, such as fluctuating incubation temperatures and light pollution, can have both behavioral and physiological impacts on an organism, particularly within avian species. Specifically, when parents leave ...
Effects of Font Type of Embedded Key Terms on Judgments of Learning and Memory from Textbooks
(2012-12-06)
Previous research by Rhodes and Castel (2008) provided evidence that metacognitive predictions of future memory performance (i.e. judgments of learning (JOLs)), are significantly affected by perceptual information (i.e. ...
Effects of Food Safety Regulatory Standards on Seafood Exports to US, EU and Japan
(2009-07-01)
This thesis examines the effects of the enhanced food safety standards imposed in developed countries on seafood exports to these country markets. New impositions of food safety regulations in three major markets are ...
The Effects of Forest Management on Habitat Quality for Black Bears in the Southern Appalachians
(2006-08-15)
Studies of habitat selection have been used to understand the effects of forest management on habitat quality for black bears (Ursus americanus), but results have been incomplete because all behavioral studies have been ...
The Effects of Forest Treatments on Ground – dwelling Herpetofauna and Macroarthropods in Longleaf Pine Forests of South Alabama
(2016-08-04)
The purpose of this thesis was to examine long-term effects of forest treatments on captures of herpetofauna, habitat structure, and relative abundance of macroarthropods. In chapter 1, I described my general research ...
The Effects of Founders’ Competence, Integrity, and Demographic Characteristics on Equity-based Crowdfunders’ Investment Decision
(2018-04-13)
Scholars are increasingly exploring crowdfunding, a novel and rapidly growing source of new venture financing. A key part of this research has sought to explain what factors are important to the crowdfunding investment ...
Effects of Gender and Destructive Leader Behaviors on Leader’s Evaluation
(2021-04-12)
Destructive leadership is beginning to be studied, but the current literature relies on examples of male leaders. While literature on positive leader behaviors shows a bias towards male leaders, little research looks at ...
The Effects of Genetic-based and Swarm Intelligence-based Feature Selection on Adversarial Author Identification
(2022-04-25)
Within the realm of author identification, where researchers work to classify writing samples by author, researchers are using more and diverse feature sets to try to improve classification accuracy. From a computational ...
Effects of Geometric Design Features and Traditional Traffic Control Devices on Wrong-Way Driving Incident at Partial Cloverleaf Interchange Terminal: A Machine-Learning Approach
(2022-08-03)
The partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange is the second most popular interchange in the United States. Past studies revealed that the parclo interchange terminal is one of the most common entry points for wrong-way driving ...
Effects of Grain Size and Orientation on Mechanical Response of Lead Free Solders
(2013-11-25)
In this study, the effects of grain size and orientation on mechanical behaviors of lead free solders were evaluated by measuring the sub-grain size and determining the plane orientation of the grains. Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder ...
Effects of Growing Season, Application Timing, and Substrate Drench Applications of Paclobutrazol as Compared to Daminozide Standards on Growth and Flowering of Gerbera Daisy ‘Bright Red with Light Eye’
(2017-07-22)
Gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii Hook. f.) is a popular pot plant with showy flowers, commonly marketing in spring. However, plants grown under greenhouse conditions can stretch or grow too large for containers. Plant ...
Effects of growth-promoting bacteria in suspended green algae cultures for bioenergy and bioproduct development
(2020-07-14)
With the exhaustion of fossil-based fuels, microalgae have attracted great interest as a renewable energy feedstock. Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms with rapid growth and the potential for production of lipids, ...
Effects of habitat variation on life history traits and genetic structure of Bartholomea annulata on Caribbean coral reefs
(2011-07-08)
Phenotypically plastic life history strategies have important implications for how species colonize local habitats and disperse to distant environments, yet few data exist for tropical sea anemones. Here, I use field and ...
The effects of herbivory on plant mating systems
