Sakaris, Peter (2006-12-15)
Altered flow regimes resulting from dam construction can have negative impacts on growth and recruitment of fishes in regulated river systems. The effects of hydrologic variation on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus and ...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on inflammatory factors and antioxidant status in dogs after ovariohysterectomy – a pilot study 

Gautier, Anais (2019-07-02)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is proven to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and healing properties in humans and laboratory animals. However, there are relatively few studies about the effects of HBO in companion ...

The Effects of Implicit Learning, Practicing with the Expectation of Teaching, and Anxiety Training on Motor Performance Under Psychological Pressure 

Cabral, Daniel (2022-12-05)
This dissertation describes a research program focused on investigating learning strategies that could prevent individuals from showing inferior motor performance when performing under psychological pressure, a phenomenon ...

The Effects of Increased Workload on Softball Pitching Mechanics, Range of Motion, and Strength 

Downs Talmage, Jessica (2021-06-28)
Softball pitching is a dynamic motion that requires the entire kinetic chain and has been documented to result in whole body muscular fatigue. In addition to muscular fatigue, increased pain has been documented after a ...

Effects of Intersection Features on Wrong-Way Driving 

Wang, Jin (2018-03-22)
Wrong-way driving (WWD) crashes are much more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities compared to all other crashes. The analysis performed in this dissertation shows, specifically, that the risk of a fatality ...

Effects of Inversion Perturbation After Drop Landing on the Latency of the Ankle Musculature 

Knight, Adam (2009-05-15)
Ankle sprains are a common injury affecting a large number of athletes and workers every year. Of specific concern is the latency of the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis which provide a dynamic defense mechanism against ...

The Effects of Isothermal Aging on the Mechanical Behavior of Underfill Encapsulants 

Lin, Chang (2010-08-04)
Underfill encapsulants are widely used in the microelectronics industry to improve the reliability of electronic components assembled to printed circuit boards. In this work, the effects of isothermal aging on the ...

The Effects of Key Moderators on the Relationship Between Firm-wide IT Capability and Firm Performance: An Empirical Investigation of An Integrative Model of IT Business Value 

Morris, Robert (2006-12-15)
In the competitive and dynamic marketplace of the contemporary organization, IT has become an integral part of the organization’s success or failure. The IT function has been shown to be a valuable resource in creating IT ...

The Effects of Lactational Exposure to Soy Isoflavones on Testicular Function in the Rat 

Napier, India (2011-08-09)
Testosterone, the male androgen responsible for maintaining the male phenotype, is produced by testicular Leydig cells. Leydig cells express estrogen receptors and are therefore regulated by estrogen. Soybeans predominantly ...
