EFFECT OF 3D SIMULATED WELDING INDUCED HAZ, RESIDUAL STRESS AND DISTORTION FIELDS ON ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF ALUMINUM STIFFENED PLATES
(2016-05-06)A finite element study was conducted to investigate the friction stir welding (FSW) and metal inert gas welding (MIG) induced residual stresses, distortions and heat affected zone (HAZ) and their effects on the behaviour ... -
The Effect of a botanical extract blend on behaviour, enrichment use, stress response, production performance and egg quality of laying hens housed in a furnished cage system
(2022-12-15)With the phasing of conventional cages in Canada, there are concerns about how birds’ affective states may influence their motivation to explore various enrichments. Phytogenic additives have been explored for poultry ... -
The Effect of Acidification on the Survival of American Eel
(2011-05-06)The geographic range of the panmictic American eel (Anguilla rostrata) has contracted in recent years because of the pronounced decline in recruitment of glass eels and elvers to the Laurentian Basin. In consequence, the ... -
THE EFFECT OF ACTION OBSERVATION AND MOTOR IMAGERY ON CORTICOSPINAL EXCITABILITY DURING A MOTOR-RELATED TASK IN HEALTHY ADULTS
(2020-08-31)Although action observation and motor imagery have typically been viewed as independent techniques for motor learning, research has found increased learning outcomes when action observation and motor imagery are used ... -
Effect of Adenosine Diphosphate on Dendritic Cell and T Cell Responses
(2011-12-13)Nucleotides, such as ATP and its derivatives, are released at high concentrations at sites of inflammation and modulate the immune response. When cultured in the presence of ADP or stable analogue ADP?S, DC surface expression ... -
The Effect of Bacterial High Temperature Protein G on Intestinal Epithelial Cells in the Context of Pediatric Crohn’s Disease
(2020-08-07)Crohn’s disease (CD), a type of inflammatory bowel disease, is caused by environmental, microbial, genetic, and immunological factors. Increased expression of specific heat shock proteins (HSPs) in CD patients protects ... -
