Infinitely Many Optimal Iso-Impulse Trajectories in Two-Body Dynamics
(2023-07-27)
Rendezvous maneuvers are designed to match the position and velocity vectors of a target body (e.g., planet, comet, satellite) whereas transfer maneuvers are designed to match the orbital elements of the target body, except ...
The Inflamed Gut: An Integrative Approach to Understanding the Impact of Inflammation on Bacteriophage-Host Dynamics.
(2020-05-15)
The intestinal microbiome is a diverse and dynamic microbial ecosystem residing within the gastrointestinal tract. The mammalian intestine is home to both commensal and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms. The immune ...
Inflationary Effects of Oil Price Fluctuations in the United States and Canada
(2011-04-18)
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the inflationary effects of shocks in oil prices with a specific interest in commodity currency markets. The model includes a comparison between the United States and Canada. The ...
Influence of a Marching Snare Drum System on Joint Kinematics, Electromyography, and Contact Pressure
(2012-04-27)
Each year thousands of students participate in marching band. Many participate by carrying a flag, baton, woodwind or brass instrument, or drum. The drumline is of particular interest due to the unique and restricting ...
The Influence of a New Student Orientation Program on Freshman Student Academic Performance and Retention at a Comprehensive Two-Year Community College
(2015-05-04)
This study examined the differences in first-year students at a selected community
college who participated in a new student orientation program. The study compared academic
success, attrition, and retention of new ...
THE INFLUENCE OF A PREPARATORY ARM SWING ON LOWER EXTREMITY KINEMATICS DURING A HORIZONTAL JUMP
(2021-08-05)
Horizontal jumping is a ballistic motion that includes horizonal propulsion, during which many athletes experience movement deficits like knee valgus and foot pronation that are known to be indicators of muscular weakness, ...
The influence of aboveground tree biomass, home age, yard maintenance and soil texture on soil carbon levels in residential yards
(2014-04-25)
Urban land area is expanding worldwide; however, little is known about the dynamics of urban soil C. In natural forests and grasslands, soil C levels increase after disturbances in part due to organic C contributions from ...
The Influence of Adjusting for Muscular Strength and Body Size on Sex Differences in Sympathetic Responses to Isometric Handgrip Exercise and Metaboreflex Isolation in Healthy Young Adults
(2022-08-03)
The exercise pressor reflex (EPR), composed of central command and the mechano- and metaboreflex, increases blood pressure (BP). Compared to males, healthy premenopausal females typically exhibit blunted increases in BP ...
The Influence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Age on Individual Mental Health and Couple Functioning in Couple Relationship Education Participants
(2021-08-03)
Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are negative events experienced throughout childhood and are consistently linked with poorer physical and mental health in adulthood. Recent literature also finds robust links between ...
Influence of Alcohol Reinforcement on Choice in the Moment
(2010-05-07)
Behavioral economic theory suggests that individuals choose to perform certain activities (e.g. drug use) based on constraints of obtaining access to the activity (e.g. cost of obtaining drugs) and the available alternative ...
