The influence of secondary effects on beams on elastic foundations and vibrating beams
… thesis has been to investigate the influence of secondary effects for beams resting on elastic foundations and vibrating beams. Two problems have been presented for beams on elastic foundations and a general comparison has been made for an infinite vibrating beam.

Numerical study of secondary effects in flexibility analysis of an ell-shaped piping structure
This thesis considers the influence of four secondary effects on the analysis of a simple elle-shaped piping structure when it is uniformly heated. The four effects are: (a) axial deformation, (b) shearing deformation, (c) beam-column effect, and (d) difference between arc and chord. They are …

An examination of the primary and secondary effects of cyber-bullying: development and testing of a cyber-bullying moderator/mediator model
… transgression and the potentially negative effects it has on individuals, specifically adolescents and young adults from experiences recalled by college students. Findings established support for a moderator/mediator model, designed and tested for this study, that describes the psychological …

The contribution of forestry to Virginia's economy: an application of input-output analysis
… productivity, sector growth, and secondary effects measured through input-output analysis. Forestry was found to be one of the leading manufacturing industries in the state, accounting for almost three percent of the gross state product. The industry is particularly strong with …

Ex ante assessment of secondary impacts of environmental regulation: case study--organochlorines in the Canadian pulp and paper industry
This thesis examines how the secondary effects of environmental regulations are assessed before the regulations are proclaimed. Negative secondary effects of a policy (such as regulation) may outweigh direct benefits; it is important that secondary effects are clearly assessed. The case study is …

The influence of various South African aggregates on the creep of concrete
… five types of aggregate, are presented. Further secondary effects have also been identified from the experimental results. These include Admixtures, Eastern Province Cement and Heat-curing. A computer program, CONVERS3, was developed in order to convert experimental results from the form of …

Perpetual requirements engineering
… the affected artifacts are changed. Undesired secondary effects are usually found during the testing phase after the changes have been incorporated. In cases when there is certain level of criticality, there is always a division between production and development environments. Change management …

Expression Profiling of Transgenic Arabidopsis Over- and Underexpressing SR45, a Plant-Specific Serine /Arginine -Rich Factor
The effects of SR45 depletion on other transcripts have been studied using RT-PCR analyses and more recently using oligoarray approaches. In plants completely silenced for the transgenic mGFP-SR45 transcript and nearly completely silenced for the endogenous SR45 transcript, several other splicing …

Investigations of the Non-Covalent CH-Π Interactions Using Molecular Torsional Balances
… deuterium isotope effect, substitution effects, and solvent effects. It showed that due to the weak nature of CH-pi interactions, many forces can contribute on determining their interacting energies with similar magnitudes. Approaches using "double-mutant cycles" to isolate the …

The aerodynamic response of airborne discs
… the flow around the disc and ascertain the effects of spin on vorticity and boundary layer separation. Results showed that the center of lift was behind the geometric center at low velocity and moved rapidly forward with increasing velocity. Tuft and smoke tests showed that the boundary …

Behavioral responses to public insurance programs: Three essays
… may affect how much people work. While these effects are not intended goals of the programs, proper evaluation of these programs requires analyzing costs and benefits from all sources, even those that may be unintended. Given the growing number of uninsured individuals, currently 47 million, …

Estradiol Regulation of Leucine-Rich Repeat Immunoglobulinlike Domains Protein 1 (Lrig 1) and Roles of Estrogen Receptor in Translational Regulation in Breast Cancer Cells
The effects of estradiol on cellular function are pleiotropic. As a transcriptional regulator, ER regulates many genes that can have a subsequent impact on other cellular functions. These so-called secondary effects are often associated as the principle actions of estradiol. We identify …

Tourism and employment: A comparative assessment of multiplier techniques and their application to tourism-related employment in Blackpool
… but little has been dope to assess the secondary effects, which might well be significant. The aims of this study were to evaluate the techniques available for the analysis of direct and indirect tourism-based employment. On the basis of this evaluation, the most appropriate methods …

Examining metabolic vulnerabilities for cancer therapy
… cells, which suggests that clinically targeting secondary effects of reprogrammed tumor metabolism could be an approach for designing novel cancer treatments. Next, we found that a molecular driver for the altered glucose metabolism of cancer cells is limited electron acceptor availability, …
