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 ... -
EFFECTS OF FAMILY BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS ON YOUTH EMPLOYMENT BY MIGRATION STATUS
(2012-12-13)This paper investigates effects of family background characteristics on youth employment by migration status, with a focus on the influence of the highest education level in the family and equivalent family income, using ... -

THE EFFECTS OF GROUND-FLOOR MANAGEMENT ON BLUEBERRY MAGGOT (RHAGOLETIS MENDAX CURRAN) AND PREDATORY BEETLES IN HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRIES
(2011-08-26)There is very low tolerance for blueberry maggot (Rhagoletis mendax Curran) in blueberries making it a serious pest in eastern North America. Control is focused on eliminating flies with insecticides before oviposition ... -
The effects of housing conditions on neurogenesis in the black-capped chickadee
(2015-01-29)Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) store and retrieve thousands of seeds during the fall and winter, seemingly in anticipation of reduced resource availability coinciding with onset of harsh weather, and ... -

Effects of Insulin on synapse formation and function; A possible role for insulin resistance
(2015-04-16)Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome, including Type II diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Most studies on insulin resistance focus on peripheral tissues, but little is known about insulin resistance ... -
EFFECTS OF IRON AND NICKEL ON THE PROCESSING AND PERFORMANCE OF AN EMERGING ALUMINUM-COPPER-MAGNESIUM POWDER METALLURGY ALLOY
(2012-07-04)Aluminum (Al) powder metallurgy (PM) provides a cost effective and environmentally friendly means of creating lightweight, high performance, near net shape components, relative to conventional casting/die casting technology. ... -

Effects of Low Testosterone on Frailty and a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator on Frailty, Frailty Mechanisms, and Cardiac Structure and Function in Older Mice
(2022-09-01)Frailty is a state of increased risk to health issues and can arise in older age and during disease. Low circulating levels of testosterone, especially in older men, are thought to predispose toward a frail state due to ... -
Effects of LPS-induced maternal immune activation on expression of autism-linked genes and autism-like behaviours in neonates and adulthood. Towards a maternal infection model of idiopathic autism
(2018-08-13)Epidemiological studies have revealed a link between maternal immune activation (MIA) and autism-spectrum disorder (ASD) risk. In support of this, the offspring of dams exposed to LPS during pregnancy develop ASD-like ... -
Effects of Maternal Environment on Behavioural Development in Young Adult 3xTg-AD and B6129S/F2 Mice
(2012-08-02)The 3xTg-AD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has three transgenes, one human gene from familial AD (APPswe), one mutated mouse gene (PS1M1461), and one human gene associated with tau pathology (tauP301L). Transgenic ... -
