Wildlife corridors: do they facilitate biotic movement? Evidence from the experimental literature: evidence from the experimental literature : a masters thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Natural Resource [i.e. Resources] Management and Ecological Engineering (NRMEE) at Lincoln University
… empirical evidence derived from published literature of experimental corridor research that evaluated corridor-dispersal function. - Conduct a review of “Experimental” corridor literature published over the last 17 years (1993-2010). - Compare and contrast experimental variables including; …

THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ESTROGENS AND THE NITRIC OXIDE SYSTEM IN CARDIAC FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE
… of heart disease in women, as well as a robust experimental literature demonstrating a role of estrogens in cardioprotection. Sex differences in mortality after myocardial infarction tell the story since data show a worse prognosis of death post-myocardial infarction for women (38% within the …

Verbal versus Nonverbal Interlocked-Behaviors in an Elaborated Account of the Metacontingency
The experimental literature on metacontingency has demonstrated the selection of aggregate products (APs) by factors external to the group (i.e., cultural consequences) and has begun to focus on properties of interlocked-behaviors (IBs) in addition to the variables influencing the associated …

Interpretation Bias in Anxious Mothers and Their Children: Can Interpretation Modification Affect the Intergenerational Transmission of Anxiety?
… towards benign interpretations of ambiguity, experimental paradigms can be used to decrease levels of clinical and trait anxiety in both adults and children. Drawing on this well-documented experimental literature, and recently growing treatment literature, training anxious mothers to more …

Cinematherapy as a Clinical Intervention: Theoretical Rationale and Empirical Credibility
… both problems by critiquing the theoretical and experimental literature on cinematherapy and measuring the relative effectiveness of a structured, nondirective cinematherapy intervention at improving the hope and optimism of an adult diagnosed with Major Depression. One person (JV= 1) was …

Investigations of Thermochemistry and the Kinetics of H Atom Radical Reactions
… The results are in good agreement with recent experimental halogenation kinetic studies. Hydrogen bond strengths with sulfur and oxygen were studied via CCSD(T) theory, together with extrapolation to the complete basis set limit. The results for the bond dissociation energies (ground state at 0 …

Incentive schemes in the financial industry. An experimental approach
… the delegated portfolio management context, the experimental methodology is implemented. Managers and investors are allowed to interact: we investigate to what extent this interaction affect general results. In Chapter 1 of this Doctoral Thesis the context and the related literature will be …

Finite element modelling of shear connection for steel-concrete composite girders
… practice and results of available numerical and experimental literature. Parametric studies were carried out using both models to investigate the effects of the change in different parameters on the behaviour of shear connections. Full-scale push-off tests with solid and precast hollow core slabs …

Rewriting the Oeuvre: Raymond Queneau and the Art of Translation
… I conducted with his colleagues in the French experimental writing group Oulipo. In this dissertation, I seek to clarify the place of translation in Queneau’s career, and define its role in his creative process. I illustrate the active role he played in the transmission of culture across …

The economics of addiction: an experimental investigation
… to rationalise. There is a rich theoretical literature in economics which models habit-forming behaviours, of which addiction is the exemplar, but there is a paucity of experimental economic studies eliciting and comparing the preferences – specifically, risk and time preferences – that …

Essays on Salience in Coordination Games: Gender, Punishment and Communication
… that has received significant attention in the experimental literature. In this thesis I delve deeper into this by combining and exploring a number of issues from the literature in economics and the social sciences in the context of coordination games. More specifically in all three chapters a …

Measuring values for environmental public goods: incorporating gender and ethnic social effects into stated-preference value-elicitation methods
… paradoxical results between the economic literatures of contingent valuation method and risk aversion and the interdisciplinary literature of perceptions of risk, specifically with regard to race and gender effects. While a review of the contingent valuation literature shows no systematic …

Density relaxation of granular matter through Monte Carlo and granular dynamics simulations
… density on the fill height, which has not been experimentally reported in the literature. On the other hand, this dependency was not seen when the expansion of type (2) was used. The MC evolution of the bulk solids fraction was found to be in qualitative agreement with an inverse log form that …

Machine learning force fields for elemental sulphur
… phase transition recently reported in the experimental literature [1]. This consists of a change between low and high density liquid forms heralded by a jump in density and alterations in radial distribution functions and Raman spectra. While a simple analytical model to explain the …

Thermochemistry and kinetics: hydrogen atom addition reactions with alkenes, oxidation of cyclopentadienone, trifluoroethene and transport properties
… at different levels are compared with the experimental literature data for hydrogen atom addition to Ethylene, Propene, 1-Butene, E-2-Butene, Z-2-Butene, and Isobutene. Activation energy and rate constants for forward and reverse paths are investigated and compared with available …

Polysaccharides in Amyloid Aggregation and Hydrogel Mechanics: Insights from Molecular Modeling
… challenges to complete characterizations with experimental techniques. We addressed the knowledge gaps in the experimental literature with molecular dynamics (MD), a method of physics-based simulations of molecular motions. The conventional MD approach, also known as “atomistic” MD, where each …

The syntactic side of Time: processing Adverb-Verb Temporal Agreement
… reason is more empirical and comes from past experimental literature investigating the processing of temporal agreement. Basically, experimental evidence mainly comes from ERPs studies and results are rather sparse and heterogeneous. These ERP studies report an early detection of the temporal …

How life uses sound to reorganise matter: The role of anharmonic phonon exchange in enzyme catalysis
… the atomic structure of MalL was obtained experimentally via X-ray diffraction crystallography of prepared MalL crystals, then digitised into the Gromacs software package and energy minimised in a simulated water bath to approximate the vibrational modes of the in vivo configuration. I …

Intonational strategies in ensemble singing
… voice was chosen as the appropriate subject for experimental work, due to its superior capability to define pitch as compared to other musical instruments. Ensemble singing was also required, as harmonic context may be important in the clarification of the issue, Chapter One, as an introduction …
