Responses of raptors to habitat fragmentation : from individual responses to population susceptibility
… of fragmentation than others. Contrasting responses suggest there are particular species' attributes that make an organism more or less susceptible to the effects of fragmentation. Much research has focused on identifying which of these traits are the most useful indicators of a species' …

Kantian Questions, Leibnizian Responses
… W. Leibniz's metaphysics and possible Leibnizian responses to those objections. Kant's central criticism of Leibniz's metaphysic is that it is based solely on intellectual, i.e., logical, principles and incorrectly dismisses the senses and sensible bodies as confusions. While Kant grants that …

BETACORONAVIRUSES OPTIMIZE REPLICATION BY BALANCING ANTAGONISM OF INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSES AND ER STRESS RESPONSES
… evolved different ways to evade or subvert these responses. MERS-CoV and HCoV-OC43 efficiently antagonize dsRNA-induced innate immune responses, while SARS-CoV-2 is less efficient and induces a greater response during infection. However, SARS-CoV-2 antagonizes IRE1α functions within the ER, which …

Ecosystem responses to precipitation extremes
… ecological processes may not be predictive of responses to extreme climatic conditions with no historic analog. In this dissertation, I describe tests of current knowledge about how precipitation impacts ecosystem processes by considering how changing extremity at both intra-annual and …

Digital processing of system responses
This thesis describes an investigation into the development of techniques for the measurement of system dynamic characteristics based on digital processing methods. The techniques are developed to meet the requirements of rapid measurement time, noise and harmonic rejection capability and ease of …

Delalyed responses in autistic children
This study investigated delayed responses in autistic children, Down Syndrome children, and retarded children of similar chronological age. The experimental group was comprised of 6 autistic children (5 boys & 1 girl). Four of these children were residents of a hospital school. The other two were …

Family caregiver responses to dementia
… spousal/family caregiver attributions, emotional responses and willingness to help. A gap in the literature was identified in relation to whether Weiner’s (1985) cognitive-emotional model of helping behaviour could be applied to the help-giving behaviour of family caregivers of individuals with …

School Responses to Declining Enrollment
<p>Rural schools across the nation are experiencing declining enrollment—they are losing students. A loss of enrollment means a loss of funding and a potential decline in the quality of programs and services. Most school funding formulas are based on average daily attendance, ADA, or cost per …

Cellular responses to potential biomaterials
The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the factors considered to be responsible for anchorage-dependent cell behaviour to determine which, if any, of these factors exerts greater influence. An efficient means of doing so is the in vitro fibroblast cell culture model. The …

Nox4 mediates metabolic stress responses
Deficits in skeletal muscle mitochondrial metabolism are associated with a wide variety of chronic skeletal muscle and metabolic-related diseases, including diabetes and sarcopenia. Even in patients with advanced skeletal muscle-related diseases, exercise is a well-established method to improve …

Ventral Tegmental Area Neuronal Responses to Methylphenidate Correlated to Behavioral Responses of Adolescent and Adult Rats
… determine if there are differences in neuronal responses between individuals, with respect to neuronal firing patterns in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and whether these differences are responsible for the conflicting reports on behavioral responses with chronic MPD exposure. Additionally, …

New daters’ acute physiological responses to a standardized stressor : do nonadaptive hormone responses forecast romantic breakups?
… explored associations between general stress responses (i.e., reactivity and recovery) to a psychosocial stressor and nonmarital breakup status. Data were collected as part of a larger 9-month longitudinal study investigating the mental and physical health outcomes associated with relationship …
