Investigating the Use of Choking Intervention Strategies With Choking-Susceptible Athletes
… also relevant in terms of identifying choking-susceptible athletes. Thus, applied sport psychology techniques are important for assisting athletes in countering choking effects. The three interconnected studies in this dissertation were designed to further develop applied sport psychology …

Mechanisms by Which Apoptotic Membranes Become Susceptible to Secretory Phospholipase A2
… occur in T-lymphocyte membranes that render them susceptible to hydrolysis by secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). To study the relevant mechanisms, a simplified model of apoptosis using a calcium ionophore was first applied. Kinetic and flow cytometry experiments provided key observations …

Effects of Cereal Cyst Nematode Infection on Resistant and Susceptible Barley
… the effects of CCN infection on water transport, susceptible and resistant barley cultivars were studied using exudation and suction methods to measure hydraulic conductivity (Lpr). Hydrostatic Lpr obtained using the suction method was assessed in the presence of xylem tension which was exerted at …

The epidemiology & molecular basis of fluoroquinolone resistant & susceptible isolates of Campylobacter coli
Fluoroquinolone susceptible and resistant Campylobacter coli were isolated from pigs on two separate pig farms. C. coli are enteric pathogens of humans and animals and although diarrhoea resulting from C. coli and C. jejuni is generally a self-limiting disease, in severe cases, fluoroquinolones are …

Evaluation of Tsunami Design Codes and Recommendations for Bridges Susceptible to Tsunami Inundation
… loads. In this thesis the bridge types most susceptible to a large tsunami event along the west coast of the United States, as well as Alaska and Hawaii, are identified. Current tsunami loading methodologies are then summarized and compared. The extension of these methodologies to bridges is …

Differentially expressed genes in aortic cells from atherosclerosis-resistant and atherosclerosis-susceptible pigeons
… distinctly different between aortic cells from susceptible (WC) and resistant (SR) pigeons.</p><p>The most striking genetic differences were observed in energy metabolism and smooth muscle contractility. The WC cells derived their energy from glycolysis, while the SR cells utilized oxidative …

A comparison of IgA antibody levels in caries-resistant and caries-susceptible children
… States, there remains a population of caries-susceptible children even in fluoridated communities. Previous studies have shown a positive correlation between salivary immunoglobulin A (sIgA) antibody levels to Streptococcus mutans and caries resistance in adults. In the present study, an …

Phakopsora pachyrhizi growth in tissue of leaves from resistant and susceptible soybean germplasm
… with two or more sporulating uredinia indicate a susceptible reaction. Resistance to soybean rust is characterized by the development of reddish-brown (RB) lesions or a symptomless immune response, though considerable variation in lesion diameter, color and sporulation has been observed among …

Numerical modelling of onshore wind turbine gravity foundations susceptible to cyclic soil degradation
… based on the presence of soils that were deemed susceptible to cyclic degradation, as well as to illustrate different scenarios in ground conditions. Using these ground profiles, it was demonstrated how appropriate ground moduli could be selected for design, such that they were representative of …

DNA alkylation repair deficient mice are susceptible to chemically induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD), which affect more than 1 million Americans. Recently the incidence of IBD has been rising in Japan, Europe and North America.' Colorectal cancer is a very serious complication of IBD, …

Age-associated alterations in the immune system of normal and autoimmune-susceptible mice
… and old (22-24 months) DBA/2 mice and autoimmune-susceptible young (1-2 months) and old (5-6 months) MRL-Ipr/Ipr (Ipr) mice. Autoreactive T cell clones isolated from DBA/2 mice were used to study the age-induced differential responses of syngeneic T cells and B cells. These cell interactions were …

Probabilistic Assessment of Non-Ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Susceptible to Mid-America Ground Motions
The infrequent nature of earthquakes in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), and the fact that none with intensity comparable to the New Madrid sequence of 1811 12 or the Charleston earthquake of 1886 has occurred in the past century, have caused the earthquake hazard in the region to be …

Project management framework for the empowermentof disaster susceptible communities during the post disaster phase
… a Project Management framework on how disaster susceptible communities can be empowered during the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction phases to become resilient and sustainable on the long term. Fourteen individuals (Project Managers and Community Leaders) in San Francisco were …

Assessment of the Tube Suction Test for Identifying Non-Frost-Susceptible Soils Stabilized with Cement
… the utility of the TST for identifying non-frost-susceptible (NFS) materials stabilized with cement. This research investigated two aggregate base materials from Alaska that have exhibited negligible frost susceptibility in the field. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS), final dielectric …
