Dose-Response Effects of Lithium on Spatial Memory in the Black Molly Fish.
… disease, yet cognitive impairment-related side effects promote noncompliance of the treatment regimen. We have introduced a novel animal model, the black molly fish, to study dose-response effects of lithium on short-term (STM) and long-term (LTM) memories. We developed a method utilizing …

Dose-Response Effects of Working Memory Training Among Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
… on the dosage of EF training and its possible effects on both cognitive and health outcomes for 47 adolescents (M= 15.4, SD =1.45) with T1D undergoing a larger adherence intervention. EF was measured by the Digit Span and Go/No-Go tests, while composite measures of T1D treatment adherence were …

Inhibitory potential of anthocyanins and anthocyanin-rich extracts on colorectal cancer progression through apoptosis, angiogenesis, and immune response effects
… anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects. It is our long-term goal to understand the mechanisms of action that anthocyanins and anthocyanin-rich extracts can exert to inhibit colorectal tumorigenesis and progression towards metastasis. We hypothesize that anthocyanins and …

Global Structure of the Mantle Transition Zone Discontinuities and Site Response Effects in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
… zone discontinuities and studying the site response effects in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain. Global structures of the mantle transition zone discontinuities provide important constraints on thermal structures and dynamic processes in the mid mantle. In this thesis, global topographic …

Attractant properties of chemical constituents of the green macroalga Ulva and their response effects on the commercially important sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla
Interest in commercial sea urchin aquaculture is growing worldwide. This is because sea urchins have good quality roe which is a delicacy in many countries. Since the quality of sea urchin roe is dependent on what the sea urchin eats, increased research is being carried out to understand sea urchin …

Nonlinear analysis of eddy-current couplings in feedback control systems
… describing function method to predict transient response. Effects of the nonlinearity are discussed and backed with an analog computer study. Conclusions arrived at show the absquare nonlinearity to be advantageous under conditions of zero steady state loading or offset. Under conditions of …

The Contribution Of Respondent Computer Experience On Primacy Effect And Satisficing In Internet Surveys
This study, conducted in the spring of 2005, was designed to assess the contribution of computer experience on primacy effect and satisficing in online survey formats. Although regression analysis found that survey format can predict primacy effect, computer experience did not add to the …

The Effect of an Electronic Evaluation Questionnaire Format on the Return Rate From Field Supervisors.
… various military bases. The study compared the response effects of an electronic evaluation questionnaire with the traditional method of paper-based questionnaires in gathering Level 3 data. The number of returns affects the amount of information available to the course personnel in creating a …

Lipoproteins and heat shock proteins as measures of reproductive physiology in the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria
… threshold exists for the induction of the stress response. Effects of the reproductive cycle, however, were observed in both gill and gonad tissues. In New Bedford Harbor, the stress associated with the later stages of the reproductive cycle (ripe, spawning, and spent) appears to interact …

Personalising Inhaled Corticosteroid Dose Response in Persistent Asthma
… theme of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dose response effects on a variety of asthma outcome measures; with further importance placed on the application of these findings to personalising ICS dosing for the individual asthmatic.<br/><br/>The introduction provides a detailed summary of the …

Airway challenges in different clinical phenotypes and their relationship to markers of disease and treatment
… as part of a cross-over trial, to detect dose response effects on airway and systemic markers The second strategy to be examined in this thesis is tailoring asthma therapy according to asthmatic phenotype. Two groups of asthmatics that differ significantly from traditional ‘inflammatory asthma’ …

The effects of lavandula angustifolia on animal and human laboratory models of anxiety
… its efficacy because cognitive and associative effects of odours can confound pharmacological effects. Some of these problems can be overcome by testing the effects of odours in animals, and by using orally-administered lavender in sealed capsules in human participants. In addition, a criticism …

Inflammatory Biomarkers, Genetics, and Survival among Colorectal Cancer Patients
… the first year of blood draw. We observed dose-response effects of post-treatment circulating IL-6 and adiponectin on all-cause mortality over a 10-year follow-up period (p for trend<0.0001). Adiponectin was associated with higher CRC-specific mortality within the first year of blood draw …

Accurate Calculations of Molecular Properties with Explicitly Correlated Methods
… contribution is much larger than the orbital response contribution in the CABS singles correction, while both contributions are important in the MP2 correlation contribution. In contrast, the majority of the F12 correction originates from orbital response effects. In the calculations, the two …
