The Effects of Length of Instruction on Rhythm-Reading Learning and Retention
(2014-06-24)
This study analyzed the effectiveness of instructional time on rhythm-reading learning and retention. Second-grade students (N = 128) received either five-minutes or ten-minutes of rhythm-reading instruction using techniques ...
The Effects of Leucine or Different Protein Supplements on Muscle Hypertrophy after 12 Weeks of Resistance Training in Untrained Men
(2017-10-24)
Purpose: We sought to determine the effects of L-leucine (LEU) or different protein supplements standardized to LEU (~3.0 g/serving) on changes in body composition, strength, and histological attributes in skeletal muscle ...
Effects of Lithographic Parameters and Geometric Exposure Method for Corner Rounding Correction in Massively-Parallel Electron-Beam Systems for the Mask Pattern Development
(2020-07-21)
The ability of electron-beam (e-beam) lithography to transfer fine features onto a substrate
