Exploring Visually and Hearing Precluded Free Throw Trials Among Elite Basketball Players: A Practical Training Method?
(2015)The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of a visually and hearing precluded free throw training intervention on lower and higher skilled university level free throw shooters. The study examined athlete’s shooting ... -
EXPLORING WAYS TO VISUALIZE NEWS OVER GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS
(2012-08-27)Online news sites are some of the most useful and popular information retrieval systems in use today. Thousands of articles in different languages and on a variety of subjects are posted every day and updated every hour. ... -
Exploring women's experiences regarding postpartum physical activity: A qualitative research study
(2022-01-05)Although recovery after birth can be promoted through body movement, many women do not engage in postpartum physical activity. However, a limited number of studies were carried out to explore how postpartum physical activity ... -
EXPLOSIBILITY OF MICRON- AND NANO-SIZE TITANIUM POWDERS
(2013-04-25)The current research is aimed at investigating the explosion behaviour of hazardous materials in relation to particle size. The materials of study are titanium powders having size distributions in both the micron- and ... -
EXPONENTIAL POTENTIALS IN KANTOWSKI-SACHS EINSTEIN-AETHER SCALAR FIELD COSMOLOGICAL MODELS
(2020-09-22)A class of positive curvature spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models within an Einstein-aether gravitational framework is investigated. The mat- ter source is assumed to be a scalar field which is ... -
AN EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT STUDY OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCS) IN RESIDENTIAL INDOOR ENVIRONMENT USING THE CANADIAN HEALTH MEASURES SURVEY (CYCLE 2: 2009-2011) AND A MULTIPLE RECEPTORS BASED APPROACH
(2018-08-10)Volatile organic compounds (VOC) research in the residential indoor environment has focused on respiratory conditions; additional research is necessary to understand the effects on overall health. I analyzed the Canadian ... -
Exposure: A Conceptual Framework for End Users Engagement Through Complexities-Driven Participatory Design for Patient-Facing Systems
(2021-08-23)We compared two participatory design-based protocols: operational complexities-aware group versus operational complexities-unaware group. We found that when exposed to potential operational complexities, end users provided ... -
Expression and Role of Anaphylatoxin Receptors on Human Colonic Epithelial Cells
(2013-05-01)Human colonic epithelial cell lines (T84, Caco2 and HT-29) were used to address the question of whether intestinal epithelial cells can detect and respond to activated complement via the anaphylatoxin receptors, considering ... -
The Expression of 19F-Labeled Beta-Phosphoglucomutase and the Evaluation of Its Inhibitors
(2018-02-12)β-Phosphoglucomutase (βPGM) is an isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of β-glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate via a 1,6-bisphosphate intermediate. Incorporation of 5-fluorotryptophan (5FW) into βPGM (ie. ... -
Expression of a Winter Flounder Antifreeze Protein in E. coli and its Effect on Ice Nucleation
(2021-12-15)Ice-binding proteins are known to interact with ice to depress freezing point non-colligatively or to inhibit ice recrystallization; however, their effects on ice nucleation are not fully understood. The antifreeze proteins ... -
Expression, Purification And Biophysical Characterization Of Large Fragments Of The Apelin Receptor Enabling Delineation Of A Juxtamembrane Helix With Amphipathicity Necessary For Plasma Membrane Localization.
(2018-01-05)The apelin receptor (AR or APJ) is a class-A G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activated by various isoforms of the peptide hormones apelin and, during embryonic development, apela. The apelin-AR system has been proposed ... -
eXSTS: eXplainable Semantic Textual Similarity
(2021-08-30)We propose eXplainable Semantic Textual Similarity (eXSTS) with two visualizations that allow the users to investigate the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) relationship between two documents. eXSTS offers insights for the ... -
Extemporaneously Compounded Topical Calcium Channel Blockers for Wounds and Skin Ulcers
(2019-08-15)Compounded topical calcium channel blockers are used for the treatment of wounds, such as anal fissures and diabetic ulcers. Diltiazem and nifedipine are the calcium channel blockers with the most evidence for topical use. ... -
AN EXTENDED DOUBLE-GIMBAL SCISSORED-PAIR CONTROL MOMENT GYROSCOPE STEERING CONTROL LAW WITH APPLICATIONS TO ACTIVE DEBRIS REMOVAL AND OCEANOGRAPHIC TARGET TRACKING
(2024-07-23)Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) are a unique class of spacecraft momentum exchange actuators which can deliver relatively high control torques. In this thesis, a CMG design known as the Double-Gimbal Scissored-Pair Control ... -
Extended Exergy Analysis of the Nova Scotian Economy 2006
(2011-05-03)Human societies may be modeled as very large complex systems involving multiple flows of energy and materials between different sectors. Traditional exergy analysis methods are inadequate for the analysis of such systems ... -
EXTENDED IMMERSION COEFFICIENT SPECTRUM FOR HYPER SPECTRAL RADIOMETERS
(2018-10-26)Satellite mounted with OCI [Ocean Colour Instrument] must be validated and calibrated periodically while commissioned using hyper spectral radiometers. Absolute calibration of Hyper Spectral Radiometers is done in the air ... -
