The Presidency Effect
… to achieve agreement in the Council, in effect biasing the incumbent in favor of further European integration. This study uses "hard case"-evidence from United Kingdom (UK) Council Presidencies to test the predictions of this "Presidency effect" (PE) about member state behavior and its …

The effect of anaerobic exercise on the thermic effect of food
The thermic effect of food (TEF) is the increment in energy expenditure above resting metabolic rate associated with the cost of absorption, metabolism, and storage of food. Previous studies have shown that TEF is enhanced by aerobic exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine if a similar …

The effect of velocity of contraction on the repeated bout effect
The 'repeated bout effect' (RBE) is an adaptation whereby a single eccentric (ECC) exercise session protects against muscle damage during subsequent ECC exercise bouts and is characterized by faster strength recovery and a reduction in soreness and inflammation. The purpose was to determine if the …

THE EFFECT OF GROUP SIZE ON SYNCHRONY AND THE SYNCHRONY EFFECT
… on synchronous behaviour and the synchrony effect has noted instances of the synchrony effect in multiple physical activities (Cohen et al., 2010; Davis, Taylor, Cohen & Mesoudi, 2015; Kokal, Engel & Kirschner, 2011), it has only incorporated small group trials. Additionally no previous …

Effect Of Annealing On Copper Thin Films:the Classical Size Effect And Agglomeration
… or interconnect is known as the "classical size effect". Various theories have been postulated to explain the phenomenon of classical size effect; these theories can be broadly classified as resistivity due to scattering arising from surface and grain boundaries. The total resistivity of metals …

The Uncanny Valley Effect
The Uncanny Valley Effect (UVE) first emerged as a warning against making industrial robots appear so highly human-like that they could unsettle the real humans around them. It proposed a specific pattern of negative emotional responses to entities that were almost but not quite human, and has been …

Phonon-mediated Casimir effect
… Recently, substantial interest in the Casimir effect has revived as a result of the significant progress in the experimental techniques in cold atoms. In this thesis, we develop the description of the phonon-mediated Casimir interaction taking into account multiple phonon-impurity scatterings, …

Multi-terminal Josephson effect
… In this work, we demonstrate the dc Josephson effect in mesoscopic junctions of more than two superconducting terminals. We report fabrication and characterization of the 3- and 4-terminal Josephson junctions built in a top-down fashion from hybrid semiconductor-superconductor InAs/Al epitaxial …

Demystifying the Placebo Effect
… offers a philosophical analysis of the placebo effect. After offering an overview of recent evidence concerning the phenomenon, I consider several prominent accounts of the placebo effect that have been put forward and argue that none of them are able to adequately account for the diverse …

Reviving the Sleeper Effect
… delve into the cognitive dynamics of the sleeper effect. The study investigated the role of persuasive message repetition (once, twice), the position of a discounting cue, which challenged the stated position of a communication, the cue’s credibility (high/low) and the timing of the cue (presented …

Rational Effect Size Measurement
We often want to achieve our goals as effectively as possible. But what are the most effective interventions to achieve our goals? Here, we often turn to science for advice. And, scientists across various fields – from social science to medicine – measure how effective tested interventions are, …

The Sachs-Wolfe effect
This thesis discusses the Sachs-Wolfe effect, which is the variation in the observed temperature of radiation emitted at the last scattering surface which occurs at the place where matter and radiation decouple at about 4000 degrees Kelvin. The work is in two parts, with the first part dealing with …

The Effect of Nondiagnostic Information on Internal Auditor Skepticism: Capturing the Dilution Effect
… stereotypes of management, known as the dilution effect and attributed to the representativeness heuristic. Irrelevant information consistent with preconceived stereotypes does not decrease skepticism. In this experiment practicing internal auditors are provided an irrelevant description of the …

The Effect of Brand Crowding on Brand Differentiation: The Moderating Effect of Product Knowledge
… proposes that brand crowding has a positive effect on brand differentiation. It further suggests that product knowledge has a positive effect on this relationship while brand differentiation has a positive effect on both brand preference and purchase intention. Chocolate brands are used in …
