(2018-08-29)Aging is associated with a decline in peripheral vascular endothelial function [i.e., flow-mediated dilation (FMD)] and cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which are both critical to cardiovascular health. Accumulating ... -
THE EFFECTS OF SITE-SPECIFIC IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT ON SOIL MOISTURE AND POTATO PRODUCTION IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA
(2020-09-01)Site-specific water management can increase water use efficiency by up to 30% but determining whether adopting the technology for site-specific irrigation will be beneficial enough to consider the additional cost is still ... -
THE EFFECTS OF SOLUTE CARRIER ORGANIC ANION TRANSPORTERS ON JADOMYCIN PHARMACOLOGY IN BREAST CANCER
(2018-08-29)Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women, and often becomes multidrug-resistant (MDR). Jadomycins are experimental chemotherapeutics that maintain cytotoxicity in MDR breast cancer cells and investigating ... -
Effects of Spectral Distortion on Speech Intelligibility
(2014-08-15)Fine-structure cues play a role in understanding speech in fluctuating noise, but do not appear to be accessible to listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (Lorenzi et al., 2006). Moore (2008) proposed that ... -
