Scattering by porous aerofoil adaptations
… of owl flight has led to numerous bio-inspired adaptations designed to reduce aerodynamic noise passively. Firstly, through material changes: porosity, elasticity, and surface treatments; secondly, through geometric or structural changes: serrations, slits, finlets, and canopies. Each has been …

Muscle adaptations to post-exercise cooling
… training results in profound skeletal muscle adaptations that improve fatigue resistance and enhance exercise capacity. To maximise these adaptations, athletes often engage in extensive training regimes, involving 10 to 16 training sessions∙wk-1. The use of cold water immersion (CWI) as a …

Suzuki Tadashi's Intercultural Adaptations
… Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki’s intercultural adaptations, which adapt plays of the Western repertoire for contemporary Japanese and international audiences in a style that is richly and evocatively visual. Notions drawn from postdramatic theatre, metatheatre and postcolonial theories are …

NATO's Post-Cold War Internal Adaptations
This decade has seen radical political change in Europe. NATO, as the primary security institution in Europe, has responded to these events by restructuring itself. NATO began by creating a new Strategic Concept based on the threats it foresaw in the new European setting. NATO then adapted its …

Maternal and placental adaptations to hypoxia
… and molecular mechanisms underlying maternal adaptations to hypoxia during the establishment of the hemochorial placenta. Therefore, studies focused on the effects of low oxygen tension on in vivo and in vitro trophoblast cell gene expression and vascularization at the maternal-fetal …

TYA Adaptations for the Theatre Educator
<p>Over the last century, adaptations in the field of Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) have been the subject of some debate. While adaptations are currently the most produced type of play by children’s theatre companies and professional theatre organizations, original TYA scripts are the ones that …

Tissue-specific adaptations of cell types
Cells are the building blocks of life, forming the vast diversity of tissues and organisms in Nature. Across these, common cellular morphologies and functions have been identified. High-throughput, multifactorial profiling of cells has grown exponentially in recent years with the advent of …

Postural Adaptations in Self-Ligating Bracket Treatment
The use of self-ligating brackets has gained popularity recently in orthodontic treatment. The Damon philosophy is a system that employs passive self-ligation with the use of light forces to achieve arch development and to relieve dental crowding. The philosophy of the system is that the use of …

Female Voice and Agency in Film Adaptations
… a methodology which compares a range of film adaptations with the books from which they are taken.<br/><br/>The thesis explores the agency and voice of four novels and their film adaptations,<sup>1</sup> using techniques derived from narrative analysis where "the implied author" is the agency …

Coral adaptations across ecological and evolutionary scales
Marine organisms occupy environments spanning wide distributions of conditions across large (e.g., latitudinal gradients) and small (e.g., different depths) scales. Populations that exist across these environments might be adapted to local conditions and exhibit genetic divergence between habitats, …

Neuroplastic Adaptations to Exercise Training and Detraining
Neuronal activity has been shown to be attenuated in cardiorespiratory and locomotor centers (CRLC) of the brain in response to a single bout of exercise in trained (TR) versus untrained (UN) animals, but the mechanisms remain obscure. Dendritic branching patterns of seven brain areas associated …

Aquatic insects versus fish: adaptations to fish predation
v češtině Tato bakalářská práce je rešerší dostupných zdrojů o adaptacích vodního hmyzu vůči rybí predaci během všech fází jejich vývoje. Vzhledem k tomu, že je vodní hmyz velká skupina často si nepodobných druhů, je vodní hmyz jako takový na úvod této práce představen, včetně prostředí, ve kterém …

Physiological studies investigating neurological adaptations to resistance training
The effect of different strength training paradigms on corticospinal excitability and inhibition was studied throughout this thesis. The primary aim was to investigate the corticospinal responses following isometric, isotonic, cross-education and wholebody vibration (WBV) strength training, and to …

Virginia Woolf and cinema : Adaptations of Mrs Dalloway.
… studies through a detailed consideration of the adaptations of Virginia Woolfs Mrs Dalloway (1925). Within adaptation studies the issue of fidelity and the role of the source novel have been relegated to the sidelines in response to a logophilic prejudice which dominated early studies, and as a …

Neurophysiological Adaptations to Resistance Training and Repetitive Grasping
… to better understand adaptive processes. Neural adaptations accompany resistance training, but current evidence regarding the nature of these adaptations is best characterized as indirect, particularly with respect to adaptation within central or supraspinal centers: 56). To this end, we recorded …

Performance Analysis of Wireless Networks with QoS Adaptations
The explosive demand for multimedia and fast transmission of continuous media on wireless networks means the simultaneous existence of traffic requiring different qualities of service (QoS). In this thesis, several efficient algorithms have been developed which offer several QoS to the end-user. We …

Molecular Regulation of Maternal Hepatic Adaptations to Pregnancy
The maternal liver exhibits robust adaptations to pregnancy to accommodate the metabolic needs of developing and growing placenta and fetus by largely unknown mechanisms. We found that achaete-scute homolog 1 (Ascl1), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor essential for neuronal development, …
