Effects of chronic sleep restriction on blood vessel density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in rats
(2016-12-06)Increased blood vessel density could increase the efficiency of the glymphatic system which removes waste from the brain. This study tested the hypothesis that chronic sleep restriction (CSR) increases blood vessel density ... -
Effects of CIDR and eCG with estradiol-17β or estradiol cypionate on the follicular wave emergence synchronization in seasonally anestrous ewes
(2021-05-20)Estrous, hormonal, and ovarian responses in anestrous ewes treated with different synchronization treatments were evaluated. Fourteen Texel ewes received controlled-internal-drug-releasing devices (CIDR) on Day -12 and eCG ... -
Effects Of Climate Change On Wind Loading For Structural Design
(2021-03-25)Structural design requirements need to be updated to account for the projected increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme wind events due to climate change. This study investigates the effects of climate change ... -
Effects of Cover Crops on the Soil Microbiome and Carry Over Impact on FRCR in Barely and Soybean
(2022-01-10)This study explored the influence that different cover crops have on the soil microbiome (Chapter 2) and the impact on Fusarium root and crown rot (FRCR) of barley and soybean (Chapter 3). Field trials were conducted with ... -
The Effects of Different Feeding Program and Inclusion of Glycerol, Glucose or Sucrose in Broiler Starter Diets on Growth Performance and Intestinal Development
(2014-04-08)The easily utilized energy sources, glycerol, glucose and sucrose were used in broiler starter diets to improve growth performance. Trials investigated the effects of inclusion of easily utilized energy sources (EUES) on ... -
Effects of Different Light Treatments on a Microbial Mat Photobioreactor
(2017-10-10)One of the most exciting scientific innovations in fish feed and waste remediation systems has been the use of microbial mats for biomass production. This study aimed to improve productivity of biomass in an open microbial ... -
The effects of dual n-back training on the components of working memory and fluid intelligence: An individual differences approach
(2013-08-23)Measures of working memory capacity are associated with performance on a variety of cognitive tasks. A number of recent studies have provided evidence that training working memory can lead to improvements in fluid intelligence ... -
The Effects of Endocannabinoid Modulation and Neurogenic Inflammation in Experimental Knee Joint Arthritis
(2015)Arthritis is a debilitating condition, and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite the prevalence of arthritis, few therapies are satisfactorily efficacious, and many are limited by serious adverse effects. It is ... -
Effects of Errors in the Hamiltonian Programming Process of Adiabatic Quantum Computing
(2014-08-21)In order to measure the effects of the errors we measure of the likelihood an erroneous instance of a Hamiltonian shares the same ground state as the intended Hamiltonian (resilience). The effects of errors on the spectrum ... -
