Comparative Analysis of Physiological Measurements and Environmental Metrics on Predicting Heat Stress Related Events
… there is a relationship between cardiovascular measurements and heat stress, which could be used to measure heat stress risk on an individual level. Research has been done to find relationships between cardiovascular metrics in a workplace environment, however the study did not include the use …

Physiology, genetics and genomics of drought adaptation in Populus
… wild black poplar showed variation in numerous physiological measurements such as leaf development and carbon isotope discrimination in well-watered conditions depending on their latitude of origin. The drier genotypes (from Spain and South France) had the smallest leaf area which could be …

Temperament Differences in Fear Reactivity in Infancy: Frontal EEG Asymmetry and Recognition Memory
… memory at ten months of age. Both behavioral and physiological measurements of fear reactivity and recognition memory were examined in order to further the understanding of temperamental fear in infancy, the relationship temperamental fear reactivity holds with visual recognition memory, and the …

The Impact of Fearfulness on Childhood Memory: Attention, Effortful Control, and Visual Recognition Memory
… and visual recognition memory. Behavioral and physiological measurements of fear as well as measures of attention and recognition memory were examined. Behavioral tendencies of fearfulness rather than discrete behavioral acts were associated with right frontal asymmetry. VRM performance was …

Functional and ultrastructural investigation of mouse and human dendritic spines
… plasticity. The technical challenge of tethering physiological measurements of synaptic strength to spine morphology and protein expression in specific cell types leaves many open questions for the field. Here, we combine super-resolution protein imaging and patch-clamp electrophysiology to …

IMPACTS OF RDX SOIL CONTAMINATION ACROSS AN AGE GRADIENT FOR THE NATIVE SHRUB MORELLA CERIFERA.
… responses were quantified for juveniles while physiological measurements were quantified for adults. RDX induced a significant response in all age groups and, in accordance with the hypothesis, germination was the most impacted of the three stages. Impacts varied by concentration in addition to …

Physiological measures differentiate distinct domains of immanent justice reasoning
… was to examine the utility of multiple continual physiological measurements as predictors of just-world motivated behavior such as immanent justice reasoning (IJR) in a replication of Callan, Ellard, and Nicol's (2006) study. Participants (N=109) were assigned to one of two narrative groups - …

Remote Clinical Trial Operations: Patient Education for Medical and Wearable Device Use
… the capability to remotely collect longitudinal physiological data used for machine learning and artificial intelligence are set to revolutionize healthcare, including enabling remote clinical trials. Yet, there is no regulatory framework in place to standardize their utilization. In traditional …

Packaging Design for Remote Clinical Trial Operations
… error as a designated clinician performs all physiological measurements on each subject in person. However, in remote clinical settings, there is an added component of having to collect each participant’s physiological data and other necessary information over distance. This introduces the …

Predicting Individual Components of the SOFA Score using Multi-Task Learning
… is little work in predicting the underlying physiological measurements that define the SOFA score. In this paper, we consider predicting changes to the individual components of the SOFA score. We use multi-task learning frameworks to predict future values for the SOFA score components, with …

Shaping Function Through Space: The Role of Spatial Organization in Microbial Communities
… approach, we leverage metabolic-flux and physiological measurements to predict the colonization success of auxotrophic cross-feeders in this spatially structured environment. Second, we introduce a new chemical method for engineering microbial cell surfaces that enables covalent attachment …

Quantitative methods for linking transcriptional profiles to physiology
… between molecular markers and macro- scale physiological measurements, which can be utilized to construct predictive models of cellular behavior. This thesis explores the evidence for such quantitative relations, and then illustrates one approach for the construction of models linking …

Impact of nature window view on high school students stress recovery
… by taking skin conductance and temperature measurements. Analyses revealed that classroom window view has a significant influence on students’ stress recovery. Even though the participants’ self-reports do not show a relationship between the window view conditions and stress recovery, the …

Building A Mechanistic Understanding Of Biodiversity And Ecosystem Functioning In Forests
… temporal scales using remote sensing, leaf-level physiological measurements, and soil analyses. First, I found that fast-growing, early successional tree species created a buffered microclimate (reduced daily amplitude of vapor pressure deficit) within forest canopies, relieving physiological …

Motion-aircraft resistant design of photoplethysmograph ring sensor for driver monitoring
… Workload of an automobile driver with his or her physiological measurements, especially the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements. In order to make a driver's HRV monitoring on the road possible, a new photoplethysmograph (PPG) Ring Sensor prototype has been devised specifically for countering …

Comparing the Effects of Cognitive and Social Stress among Individuals with Headache
… primarily using self-report and various physiological measurements as outcome variables. In the stress literature more broadly, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) consistently has been shown to be a valid and reliable method of eliciting laboratory stress. However, this popular stress …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to Speech Processing and Cold Pressor Stress: Evidence for Sex Differences in Dynamic Functional Cerebral Laterality
… men (N = 60) and women (N = 60) underwent physiological measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) before and after exposure to the cold pressor and a phonemic dichotic listening task. Functional cerebral laterality was assessed …

Pathological and physiological relationships of parasitic disease in a select cottontail rabbit population
… conducted between parasite burdens and select physiological measurements. A highly significant (p<.001) correlation of 0.57 was found between parasite burden and basophil percentage. A highly significant (p<.01) correlation of -0.57 was found between eye lens weights and the presence of …
