Low-Intensity Ultrasonic Neuromodulation of the Rat Hippocampus
… stimulation parameters, for example the acoustic intensity and waveform shape, on stimulation outcome. Addressing these gaps is critical to advancing tFUS as a non-invasive neuromodulation technique. </p> <p>The aims of this dissertation are two-fold: (1) to identify the influence of …

Effects of low intensity magnetic fields on cabbage loopers
Possible effects of steady low strength magnetic fields on insects were studied using the cabbage looper moth, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner). In the first tests, adult loopers were used to determine their locational preference in response to areas of stronger or weaker magnetic field ranging from …

THE LOW-INTENSITY LIMIT OF BERNOULLI-VORONOI AND POISSON-VORONOI MEASURES
… process obtained as a result of the following procedure; first select vertices by a Bernoulli site percolation,with intensity p, as nuclei for a Voronoi tessellation and then delete edges whose end vertices lie in different Voronoi tiles. A natural question which arises in this context …

COMPLETE TEMPORAL MEASUREMENT OF LOW-INTENSITY AND HIGH-FREQUENCY ULTRASHORT LASER PULSES
… are the complete temporal measurement of low-intensity picosecond pulses in the near-infrared (NIR) and intense ultrashort pulses in the ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV). The former are projected to find great use in the field of optical telecommunications, while the latter …

Determination of High Mass, Low Intensity and Transient Mass Spectra by Computer
… rarely interfere with sample peaks at high or low resolution while their volatility at low temperatures, even for compounds of molecular weight 3300, provides a minimum source memory effect.

How do trees die following low intensity fires: Exploring the hydraulic death hypothesis
The mechanism by which trees die following a low intensity fire is poorly understood. Traditionally, cambial necrosis (Carbon starvation hypothesis) has been used to explain post-fire tree mortality, however, this does not explain why some trees die within days following a fire. To address this, …

Physiological effects of a low intensity chair-based exercise program for the elderly
… were evaluated to determine the effects of a low intensity, chair-based exercise program on selected physiological parameters. Exercise sessions were held 3 alternate days per week, 45 minutes per session, for 8 weeks. Subjects were exercise tested before and after training using a …

The Effects of Sanction Intensity on Criminal Conduct: A Randomized Low-Intensity Probation Experiment
… is effective. Attempts to increase supervision intensity for crime- and cost-saving purposes have yielded mixed results at best. This dissertation examines the theory and scientific evidence on the effectiveness of probation, and the impact of changing the intensity of probation sanctions on …

A low-cost, low-intensity contingency management smoking cessation programme with students: Experimental evidence
… of randomised controlled trial evaluating a low-cost, low-intensity contingency management smoking cessation programme conducted on a sample of treatment-seeking student smokers at the University of Cape Town in 2017. There is a statistically significant treatment effect, that is robust …

The Effects of Low Intensity Ambient Lighting on Refractive Development in Rhesus Monkeys (Macacca mulatta)
… dissertation was to evaluate the extent to which low ambient lighting influences refractive development in primates and to determine whether and how low ambient lighting levels cause myopias. METHODS: Infant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were reared under reduced or “dim” ambient lighting (~50 …

Developing a Culturally Adapted Low-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Intervention for Saudi Adults with Multiple Sclerosis
… illness-related needs of Saudi adults with MS. Low-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LICBT) may represent a feasible and scalable solution; however, evidence regarding its cultural acceptability, adaptation requirements, and feasibility in this context remains limited. Methods Guided by …

The Effects of Low Intensity Ultrasound on Chondrogenic Differentiation of Rabbit Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Vivo
In this study of using a low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS), investigated the effects of LIUS on chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). The hypothesis is that LIUS may be a non-invasively effective stimulant to a biological system in vivo by turning on …

Effect of low intensity exercise training on circulatory and autonomic measures in patients with peripheral artery disease.
… was to examine the effects of a progressive, low-intensity walking intervention on circulatory and autonomic adaptations in patients with peripheral arterial disease after controlling for potential confounders such as age, sex, ß-blockers and smoking. Secondary objectives were 1) to determine …

The effects of acute high- and low-intensity exercise on Hsp70 and Hsp90 accumulation in rat skeletal myofibres and vasculature
… group) were run at high (HIEX; 30m/min) versus low-intensity exercise (LOEX; 15m/min) for 1hr, sacrificed 24hr later. Sections of the white portion of the vastus were immunofluorescently stained for Hsp70 and Hsp90. It was hypothesized that: 1) a greater abundance of Hsp70 and Hsp90 would be …
