Effect of Increased Damping in Subordinate Oscillator Arrays
(2018)Previous literature has shown that large structures with a significant number of smaller attached structures exhibit much higher apparent damping than was predicted by models. Further research into this effect led to the ... -
The Effect of Injury Prevention Training Programs on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Team Sport Athletes
(East Carolina University, 2013)Objective: We sought to conduct a meta-analysis to determine whether neuromuscular training programs are effective at reducing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. A secondary purpose was to identify and describe ... -
THE EFFECT OF INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION MAKING ON TEACHER RETENTION
(East Carolina University, 2010)Retaining teachers continues to be an ongoing challenge for administrators. For a school, when teachers migrate from one school to another to teach or leave the profession all together, the school looses a teacher. A review ... -
The Effect of Load Placement on Lower Extremity Joint Biomechanics in Landing
(2014)Landing is a critical component to athletic performance. Many studies have investigated the effect that added mass has on landing biomechanics finding when load is added to the body during a landing task, an increase in ... -
EFFECT OF MENTOR-LED VIGOROUS AEROBIC EXERCISE PROGRAM ON BODY COMPOSITION, PEAK VO₂, AND INSULIN SENSITIVITY IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2014)In the past few decades obesity rates in the US have reached epidemic proportions in both adults and children. Nearly one-third of American adults are obese, and since 1980, the obesity rates for children 6-11 years and ... -
Effect of Metformin on the Lifespan and Health Span of Drosophila
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)Metformin has been the most used drug to treat diabetes for nearly 70 years. It reduces the pressure on the mitochondria from over calorific foods (i.e., fast foods), which termed the Western Diet. Metformin’s ability to ... -
Effect of MicroRNA-34c on Regenerative Axon Growth in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
(East Carolina University, 2011)The peripheral nervous system is unique in its ability to regenerate axons after injury. Our lab previously assessed the miRNA expression levels of the regenerating sciatic nerve which indicated miR-34c up-regulation. ... -
Effect of Normal and Fast Articulatory Rates on Stuttering Frequency
(East Carolina University, 1995)The effect of speech rate on stuttering frequency was investigated with 20 stutterers. Subjects read two different 300 syllable passages at a normal and fast speech rate. Stuttering counts and articulatory rate was determined ... -
Effect of North American Ginseng on 137Cs-induced Micronuclei in Human Lymphocytes
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)To explore the radioprotective effect of a standardized North American ginseng extract (NAGE) on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), a micronuclei (MN) assay was conducted in PBL obtained from 12 volunteers. NAGE ... -
The Effect of Plantarflexor Strength Training on Gait Biomechanics in Healthy Old Adults
(East Carolina University, 2013)Locomotion is an important and inherent part of daily life and is integral in maintaining an independent lifestyle, especially in older adults whose functional capacity has declined. Physiological changes with aging, ... -
Effect of Prenatal Contraceptive Counseling on Postpartum Contraceptive Use at a Rural Health Department
(2017-04-18)Pregnant women in a prenatal clinic at a rural health department (HD) were not effectively using contraception following delivery. This placed them at risk for unplanned pregnancies, increased their health risks, and ... -
Effect of previous hamstring strain on Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) forces
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are very common in the athletic population. While the hamstring muscles help protect the ACL, hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are also common in sports. After HSI, ... -
EFFECT OF QUADRICEP STRENGTH SYMMETRY ON KNEE JOINT SYMMETRY DURING SLS IN ACLR AND HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-03)A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common and costly injuries for active adults and athletes. This injury causes short- and long-term problems economically through increased health care costs ... -
The effect of race and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting
(2013-04)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a known predictor of decreased long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Differences in survival by race have not been examined. Methods: ... -
The Effect of Race and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Long-Term Survival after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2013-04)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a known predictor of decreased long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Differences in survival by race have not been examined. Methods: ...
