Investigative links between cognitive function and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in elementary physical education
… (59 students) were each tested twice using a balanced design (intervention, balance, and control groups). It was found that the intervention group had a large increase in planning abiHty (ES = 1.67) when compared to the balance (ES = .80) and control (ES = -.89) groups. On the three remaining …

DRONE SWARMING TACTICS IN A CONTESTED ENVIRONMENT
… and drone speed--using a nearly orthogonal and balanced design of experiments to identify which factors most influence mission success. Our analysis shows that the defender's success depends less on the number of systems and more on their placement, rate of fire, and classification accuracy, …

Breeding Design for Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua L.)
… pedigree. The result revealed highly imbalanced representation of individual families. The survival rate among full-sib families in the early stages was highly skewed. In this study, the effect of an imbalanced family structure on breeding was explored. A stochastic model was used to …

Asynchronous Data Processing Platforms for Energy Efficiency, Performance, and Scalability
… the one driven by energy, scalability and more-balanced design goals. Without clock-related issues, asynchronous circuits enable further design tradeoffs and in operation adaptive adjustments for energy efficiency. This dissertation work presents the design methodology of the asynchronous …

A Design Tool For The Evaluation Of Atmosphere Independent Propulsion In Submarines
… propulsion as an integral part of the submarine design process, focus.lng on methods for power generation and various options for fuel and oxidant storage. Fuel sources include pure hydrogen, stored cryogenically or in metal hydrides, or more common fuels such as diesel or methanol, used either …

Assessment of an expert system for space life sciences : a preliminary ground-based evaluation of PI-in-a-Box for the Neurolab Sleep and Respiration Experiment
… (abbreviated [PI]) is an expert system designed to assist astronauts with the performance of an experiment outside their field of expertise when contact with the Principal Investigators on the ground is not allowed or impossible. The latest version of [PI] was designed to assist with the …

Effects of Prazosin Treatment on Ethanol- and Sucrose-Seeking and Intake in P Rats
… 1.0, 1.5 mg/kg; Exp 2: 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 mg/kg; balanced design; -30 min). Results: In Experiment 1, prazosin significantly decreased ethanol-seeking at all doses tested. The highest dose decreased ethanol intake and increased the latency to first lever-press and first lick. Sucrose-seeking and …

Role of group II metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 (mGluR2) in appetitive and consummatory aspects of ethanol reinforcement
… received four sets of microinjections in a balanced design (systemic vehicle + core vehicle, systemic LY37 + core vehicle, systemic LY37 + core LY34, and systemic vehicle + core LY34). A final non-balanced microinjection of LY37 was then performed.^ Results and Conclusions: Systemic …

Some aspects of paired-comparison experiments
… is analogous to a tournament with t players. A balanced experiment, in which every possible pair occurs once per replication, is the counterpart of a round robin tournament. When the objective is to pick the best treatment, the balanced design may prove to be more expensive than necessary. The …

Student Retention In Florida Community Colleges:ccsse's Retention Index And Florida Accountability Measures
<p>Student retention has become a serious topic in the past several decades (Wild and Ebbers, 2002). Problematic, however, is how retention is defined and measured, as well as a lack of multi-institutional studies that support a theoretical model for improving student retention, particularly in …
