Short term effects of hypoxia and anoxia on sediment biogeochemistry
… the oxygen concentration at which harmful effects start to occur, the rates that the system responds to different levels of oxygen saturation in the overlying water and the recovery times of system processes when re-aeration are restored. Sampling was carried out at Breydon Water, Great …

Long and short term effects of X-rays on charge coupled devices
… the use of these CCDs for dental X-ray imaging. Effects investigated include changes in device operating voltages and dark current. The dark current buildup has been characterised in terms of a prompt component seen immediately following irradiation, and a time dependent component which occurs …

The short term effects of muscle energy technique on thoracic range of motion
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) has been reported to produce an immediate increase in the range of motion (ROM) of the spine. There is limited research in the application of MET to the thoracic spine and no evidence of the duration of any ROM change. The effect of Muscle Energy Technique was not …

Short-term effects of bulkheads on the bayshore of Fire Island, New York
… York but there are few studies that assess the effects of these structures on beach change in estuarine and lagoon environments. A short-term field study was conducted at Cherry Grove on Fire Island to assess the effect of a bulkhead on the fronting profile and to the adjacent beaches on the …

The Short-Term Effects of Viewing Sexually Objectifying Media: A Test of Objectification Theory
… experimental studies that have examined the short-term effects of exposure to sexually objectifying television (e.g., reality shows like Jersey Shore) through the lens of Objectification Theory. Objectification of men in the media is increasing as well but there are few studies on how men are …

A Pilot Study on the Evaluation of Short Term Effects of Jasper Jumper Therapy
… post-appliance measurements were compared to determine the cephalometric effects seen in this group of patients. All patients in this study exhibited mesofacial to brachyfacial growth patterns and were all of growing age. All patients were treated to Class I along the complete buccal segment. …

The short-term effects of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on cognitive performance
… graft (CABG) surgery. This study evaluated the short-term effects of CABG surgery on cognitive performance one to two days prior to surgery (baseline) and one-month post-surgery (follow up). 40 CABG surgical patients and 40 healthy, nonsurgical control participants were assessed with a standard …

The short-term effects of off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass graft surgery on cognitive performance
… surgery (CABG). This study investigates the short-term effects of off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass graft surgery (OPCAB) on cognitive performance, as a possible safer alternative in the treatment of coronary artery disease. This research forms part of a larger study in which, in addition to …

Examining the short-term effects of video exposure on children’s attention and other cognitive processes
… consequences. Previous studies that examined the effects of fast pace on children’s attention and cognition produced inconclusive findings. The major weakness of this research was using programmes that varied in both pace and content. Thus, this thesis focused on examining the effects of the …

Short-term effects of defoliation by gypsy moth larvae on Appalachian headwater streams in Virginia
This field study investigated the short-term effects of riparian defoliation by gypsy moth larvae on three aspects of headwater stream ecology, water quality, benthic macroinvertebrate community structure, and benthic macroinvertebrate function (expressed as secondary production). The experimental …

The short-term effects of fertilization on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) photosynthesis, dark respiration, and leaf area
The initial physiological processes leading to enhanced growth of loblolly pine subsequent to fertilization are not clearly understood. Much of the debate revolves around the temporal response of photosynthesis (Pn) to fertilization or even if Pn increases at all due to enhanced nutrition. This …

Short-term effects of a nutrition education program on food choices in adolescents at risk for type 2 diabetes
… the aims of this study were to: (1) determine the nutritional intake of adolescents who are at risk for the development of T2D using an interactive CD (Fast Foods and Families: Making Good Choices for Better Health); and (2) identify the level of dietary self-efficacy (DSE) for …

The Short-Term Effects of Student Absences on Student Math Growth and the Moderator Effects of Student Achievement Levels
The following quantitative study examined the short-term effects of student absences on student math growth and the moderator effects of student achievement levels on fourth and fifth grade students at a high-performing elementary school in central Massachusetts. Through independent-samples t-tests …

The Short-term Effects of Fertilization on Total Soil CO2 Efflux, Heterotrophic, and Autotrophic Respiration of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.)
… a pair of greenhouse studies to observe the effects of fertilization in the form of diammonium phosphate (DAP) on RR. The objectives were to determine how nutrient additions initially affect RR in one-year-old loblolly pine seedlings. Secondly, we wanted to determine if Captan …

Model Validation and Improvement Using New Data on Habitat Characteristics Important to Forest Salamanders, and Short-Term Effects of Forestry Practices on Salamander Movement and Population Estimates
… They make excellent organisms for studies on the effects of silvicultural practices. My goal was to provide recommendations for forest management in the southern Appalachians so that harvesting operations are compatible with maintaining healthy populations of forest amphibians. I tested previously …
