Differential Economic Performance in Developing Countries
(2008-12-15)
This thesis examines the economic performance in developing countries. The 2003 data is collected from 74 developing countries. The level of economic performance is measured by GDP per capita. The independent variables ...
Differential Effects of Challenge and Hindrance Stressors on Decision Making Performance
(2010-01-08)
The current study proposed differential relationships of challenge and hindrance stressors on decision-making performance based on the 2-dimensional model of stressors, which was expected to be mediated by perceived control, ...
Differential Effects of Niacin on Adipose Tissue Inflammation, Hepatic Function, and Gut Microbiota Composition in C57BL/6J and B6129SF2/J Mice
(2019-07-18)
Background. Obesity is associated with adipose tissue inflammation, development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and altered gut microbiota composition. Niacin is beneficial in inhibiting obesity-associated ...
Differential Functioning by High and Low Impression Management Groups on a Big Five Applicant Screening Tool
(2010-01-29)
The degree to which applicant personality test faking constitutes a real world threat is a topic of considerable debate among industrial and organizational psychologists. Researchers have investigated the faking problem ...
Differential geometry on matrix groups
(2020-03-20)
In this dissertation, we study the differential geometry of the matrix groups. In literatures, many authors proposed to compute matrix means using the geodesic distance defined by an invariant Riemannian metrics on the ...
Differential Modulation of Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission by Polysialic Acid
(2007-12-15)
Controlled modulation and regulation of glutamate receptors are essential for synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The two major types of excitatory glutamate receptors found at the synapse are AMPA and NMDA, which ...
Differential nymphal development of Blattella asahinai and B. germanica and their hybridization potential (Blattodea: Ectobiidae)
(2020-07-14)
The Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai (Blattodea: Ectobiidae), is the closest relative of the German cockroach, B. germanica (L.), and has become a peridomestic nuisance pest in the southeastern United States. However, ...
The Differential Outcome Effect with Typical Adult Humans
(2009-07-02)
A mechanism that affects nonhuman animal learning is expectation, as explored with experiments that produce the differential outcome effect (DOE). To obtain the DOE, animals are trained using a differential outcomes procedure ...
Differential Outcomes Facilitate Relational Associations
(2008-05-15)
The Differntial Outcomes Procedure facilitates the acquisition and performance of tasks that encourage item specific strategies, but its affects on relational strategies is unknown. Here, 8 pigeons (columba livia) were ...
Differential Strain Dynamics Under Host and Environmental Stressors: A Pathway to Better Understanding Pathogen Presence and Fitness of Xanthomonas perforans
(2023-11-27)
The bacterium Xanthomonas perforans is a worldwide pathogen of tomato and pepper plants causing bacterial leaf spot (BLS) resulting in necrotic spotting with which advanced disease can lead to complete defoliation of plants ...
Differentiating between Children with and without ADHD Using the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System and Conners' Continuous Performance Test-II
(2010-08-12)
The Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) is a relatively new measure of executive functioning (EF) that has not been fully evaluated for its potential of differentiating between children with and without ADHD. ...
Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Using PEG-Fibrinogen Hydrogel Microspheres
(2012-05-15)
Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and current treatments are either ineffective at significantly prolonging lifespan or are unavailable to the majority of patients in need due to a lack of supply. ...
Digital Forensic Detection and Disruption of JPEG Steganography
(2010-07-28)
The use of digital media and internet communications has grown for business and personal use, and so has the use of digital communications by criminal and terrorist elements. Of particular interest in both criminal ...
