Effect of Maxillomandibular Advancement Surgery on Blood Pressure in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Pilot Study
(2013-03-22)There is evidence that non-surgical treatment of OSA improves blood pressure (BP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The objective of this study is to determine the effect of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) ... -
Effect of microwave irradiation on the aspect ratio of treated mica
(2008)Muscovite mica is a plate-like mineral composed of potassium and aluminum silicate. The mica morphology, characterised by aspect ratio, allows this mineral to be used as structural filler in plastics, adding rigidity and ... -
Effect of Moderate Diet Restriction on Body Condition, Health, and Reproductive Performance in Female Mink (Neovison vison)
(2012-09-04)Selection for large body size can result in the development of obesity, which in mink females is associated with poor reproduction and metabolic diseases. Caloric restriction is effective in diminishing oxidative stress ... -
EFFECT OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT, CHARGE AND HYDROPHOBICITY OF WHEY PEPTIDES ON ENCAPSULATION EFFICIENCY AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF SOY LECITHIN-DERIVED NANOLIPOSOMES
(2017-06-01)Encapsulation of peptides has been explored to enhance their stability, but there is a paucity of information on effects of peptide structural properties on encapsulation. Impact of the molecular properties, including ... -
The Effect of Nest Acoustics on the Begging Calls of Nestling Tree Swallows
(2010-12-15)Animals’ long-distance acoustic signal structure minimizes habitat-specific attenuation and distortion, but it is unknown how environmental acoustics shape the signals of dependent young, or short-range signals generally. ... -
EFFECT OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED STRUCTURES SUPPORTED ON RAFT FOUNDATIONS ON EXISTING CONCRETE TUNNEL LININGS
(2020-09-11)In densely populated areas, there is increasing construction of high-rise buildings adjacent to existing tunnels. The interactions involved are complex and unavoidable. Based on experience and field monitoring, many tunnel ... -
EFFECT OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER ON NITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONS FROM THE SOIL FOR TWO POTENTIAL ENERGY CROPS AND THE RELATIVE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
(2010-09-16)The benefits from energy crops are debated. This two-year study was designed to investigate nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, yield and ash content from fertilized bioenergy crops switchgrass and reed canary grass with and ... -
EFFECT OF OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS ON THE OVARIES OF LACTATING DAIRY COWS
(2012-05-03)The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of rumen-protected fish oil (RPFO) and rumen-protected marine algae (RPMA) supplements on ovarian function of lactating dairy cows on pasture or in confinement during ... -
The effect of pain on early attentional processing.

The Effect of Parental Internalizing Symptoms and Overprotection on Child Sleep Problems
(2020-08-27)Parents’ internalizing symptoms and parental overprotection are well established predictors of anxiety and depression in children. Impaired sleep in youth also predicts the onset of anxiety and depression later in life. ... -
Effect of Pasture and Lipid Supplementation on Production Performance, Carcass Quality, Fatty Acid Composition and Lipid Metabolism of Lamb
(2013-08-09)The significance of diet during the growing and finishing of lambs on production and lipid metabolism was studied. Thirty-two intact 5-6 month old Suffolk cross ram lambs that had previously grazed either red clover (RC) ... -
Effect of PCM Selection on the Thermal Performance of a Coil-in-Shell Storage System
(2023-11-14)The lack of design rules for the design and selection of phase change material-based thermal energy storage (PCM-TES) systems using heat exchangers is a major impediment to the development and general acceptance of such ... -
THE EFFECT OF PERLITE AND MINERAL WOOL LEACHATE SOLUTIONS ON THE CORROSION BEHAVIOURS OF PIPELINE STEELS
(2023-09-01)This study provides an extensive in-depth analysis of the issue of corrosion under insulation (CUI), with an overview of the capabilities and limitations of the latest nondestructive evaluation techniques, commonly employed ... -
The effect of phosphorylation on oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP) sterol binding activity
(2012-09-11)Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP) binds 25-hydroxycholesterol (25OH) and cholesterol, which regulates PH and FFAT domain interaction with the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. Adjacent to these ... -
EFFECT OF PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PROCESSES ON BIOSOLID NITROGEN (N) FORMS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON SOIL N MINERALIZATION DYNAMICS AND N-ACQUIRING ENZYME ACTIVITIES IN AN ACIDIC SOIL
(2023-04-28)Biosolids application to soils has been seen as a sustainable agricultural practice to recycle organic matter and nutrients and mitigate climate change. Four different types of biosolids were produced by treating an identical ... -
