Ectoparasite Abundance and Individual Color Variation in Three Cardueline Finch Species
(2010-05-10)Elaborate and/or colorful bird plumages have often been hypothesized to evolve via sexual selection for increased ornamentation. Differences in coloration among individuals can be influenced by a number of variables, ... -
The Effect of Aversive Early Experience on the Behavioral and Biological Fear Response in Rats
(2009-06-24)The effects of both positive and negative early life experiences on subsequent emotional reactivity are a major focus in current research on the etiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. Specifically, traumatic events, ... -
The Effect of Exogenous PlGF on the Induction of the ERK1/2 Pathway in The H9c2 Rat Cardiomyoblast Cell Line
(2010-05-10)Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways also known as extracellular signalregulated kinase (ERK1/2), are among the most important pathways a cell can use to respond to changes in their extracellular ... -
Effect Of Pharmacological Manipulation Of Nucleus Subpretectalis On Figure-Ground Discrimination In Pigeons
(2013-04-12)Our earlier research has shown that nucleus rotundus (Rt), a thalamic nucleus processing visual information in pigeons, together with its inhibitory complex, nucleus subpretectalis/interstitio-pretectosubpretectalis (SP/IPS), ... -
Effect of Stride Length Alterations on Heart Rate and Ratings of Perceived Exertion During Treadmill Running
(2009-06-24)This study describes results of exercise physiology research intended to examine the effects of running at normal, less than normal, and greater than normal stride length on heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion ... -
The Effect of Violent Video Games on Aggression
(2012-04-10)In the past, extensive research has been conducted on immersive platform-based video games. However, research has not yet examined Flash-based video games that are generally less immersive and available to a more diverse ... -
The Effectiveness of Innovative Wildlife Harvest Tools : Field Assessments of Behavior and Hunter Harvest Success
(2010-05-10)For centuries hunters have been using waterfowl decoys in an attempt to attract more birds for harvest, yet what makes a decoy effective is relatively unstudied. More recently, new paint technology has introduced decoy ... -
The Effectiveness of Innovative Wildlife Harvest Tools II: Assessment of Decoy Colors and Waterfowl Hunter Success
(2011-04-20)For centuries hunters have been using waterfowl decoys in an attempt to attract more birds for harvest, yet what makes a decoy effective is relatively unstudied. More recently, new paint technology has introduced decoy ... -
The Effects of Acute Cocaine and Cocaine Withdrawal on Rats' Short-Term Memory Performance During Delayed Match to Sample Tasks in Y-Maze and Two-Lever Operant Paradigm
(2009-06-24)While an extensive literature exists on the effects of cocaine on many different behaviors, there has been little research on the effects of cocaine withdrawal in rats. Recently we have been developing delayed match to ... -
Effects of Different Athletic Shoes on Treadmill Run
(2010-05-10)BACKGROUND: Training shoes are designed differently for different purposes. Many people believe that expensive shoes mean better performance. Manufacturing companies modify shoes to fit consumer demands in style as opposed ... -
Effects of Elevated Potassium and Mild Acidification on Skeletal Muscle Contractility and Fatigue in Xenopus Laevis
(2011-05-05)Skeletal muscle fatigue is typically thought to involve accumulated lactic acid, increased Pi concentration, decreased muscle glycogen, and/or increased levels of oxygen free radicals, but a clear cause of muscle fatigue ... -
Effects of Exogenous Estrogen and Testosterone on Reproductive Structures and Spermotogenesis in the Male Rat
(2011-05-05)The steroid hormones estrogen and testosterone are essential in the development and maintenance of male reproductive structures. Testosterone is necessary for maintenance of male reproductive structures and for normal ... -
Effects of Glutamine Supplementation on Muscle Function in a Mouse Model of Spinal Cord Injury
(2011-04-19)Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of muscle function due to the rapid breakdown of muscle contractile proteins and high incidence of inflammation that directly hinder rehabilitation. Glutamine is an amino acid ... -
The Effects of impoundment depth and isolation on fish species diversity and fish size
(2007-06-01)A problem for many fisheries managers is trying to maintain a diverse prey base while maximizing predator size. To test the effects of water depth and impoundment isolation on fish size and species composition, two rock-quarry ... -
"The Effects of methamphetamine and cocaine on rats' Y-Maze performance using directional vs. visual cues"
(2005-06-23)Two experiments in our laboratory have demonstrated that across a wide range of doses, amphetamine but not cocaine (COC) disrupts the discrimination performance of rats running toward the lighted arm of a Y-Maze. In these ... -
Effects of Performing a Task on Gait Parameter
(2010-05-10)Background: When performing a second task, normal gait parameters are altered as compared to normal walking. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of performing a task on gait parameters including ... -
Ejected-Electron Angular Distribution in Multi-Photon Ionization of Atomic Hydrogen by Ultrashort High-Intensity Laser Pulses
(2009-04-21)We have studied the multi-photon ionization of atomic hydrogen by an intense attosecond laser pulse. We numerically integrate the time-dependent Schrodinger equation by propagating the initial H(1s) state after the onset ... -
Electrolyte (Na+, K+, Cl-) Concentrations in Assorted Sports Drinks and Milk
(2010-05-10)Sweat production during exercise results in a loss of electrolytes, particularly chloride, sodium and potassium ions as well as a loss of water. Sports drinks attempt to give athletes the proper ions needed to replenish ... -
Electromyographical Analysis of Three Differenct Cross-Training Shoes in Standard Squat and Maximum Vertical Jump Exercises
(2010-05-10)Electromyographical analysis (EMG) was performed on 9 male subjects during completion of 2 exercises (standard squat and maximum vertical jump) in 3 different cross-training shoe models. EMG electrodes were placed on the ... -
"Electron-impact excitation of carbon"
(2006-06-07)The B-spline R-matrix method was used to study electron-impact excitation of carbon from threshold to 60 eV. A multi-configuration Hartree-Fock method with non-orthogonal orbitals generated a very accurate target description. ...
