The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species
(2017-04)Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions ... -
The effects of emotional states and traits on time perception
(2018-08-20)Background: Models of time perception share an element of scalar expectancy theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the brain is able to experience time passing and function effectively. ... -
The Effects of Emotional States and Traits on Time Perception
(East Carolina University, 2012)Background: Leading models of time perception share an important element of Scalar Expectancy Theory known as the internal clock, containing specific mechanisms by which the human mind is able to experience time passing ... -
Effects of Emotional Symptoms on Pain and Social Functioning in Youth with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic blood disorders primarily affecting people of African, Latino, and Mediterranean descent and has currently been diagnosed in over 100,000 Americans. This chronic disease ... -
The effects of environmental nickel toxicity upon survival, growth, reproduction, fecundity, and lifespan of nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans, Pristionchus pacificus, and Caenorhabditis briggsae
(East Carolina University, 2012)Nickel (II) is a common component of many natural products and man-made devices. Due to its frequent use in everyday life, relatively large amounts of nickel are being released into the environment. Nickel, however, is a ... -
The Effects of Exercise During Pregnancy on Infant Neuromotor Skills
(2015)In 2011-2012, the prevalence of obesity in children 2-19 years was 17% in the United States, and North Carolina was ranked fifth in the nation for childhood obesity. Researchers have attempted to prevent obesity by intervening ... -
The effects of exercise on hypothalamic neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
(2018-01-02)Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous sys- tem. In this study, we characterized and examined the early metabolic changes in the triple transgenic mouse AD model (3xtg-AD), and ... -
Effects of exercise on obesity-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle
(2017-11)Obesity is known to induce inhibition of glucose uptake, reduction of lipid metabolism, and progressive loss of skeletal muscle function, which are all as- sociated with mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle. ... -
Effects of Exercise Training on Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Obese Humans
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is a dynamic organ that has a tremendous ability to remodel in the face of increased energy intake. In obesity, alterations to SAT may lead to metabolic dysfunction and increased risk for ... -
Effects of Exogenous and Autocrine Growth Hormone (hGH) on Prostate Cancer Cell Function
(East Carolina University, 2012)Human growth hormone (hGH) is a major product of the anterior pituitary. In addition to its endocrine activities, hGH overexpression in extra-pituitary tissues has been correlated with the oncogenic behavior of these ... -
Effects Of Extracellular Matrix Stiffness On Muscle Fiber Mechanotransduction Signaling In Aged Rats
(East Carolina University, 2015)The loss of muscle mass with age, termed sarcopenia, is a common problem among the over 60 years-old population. Resistance training is often prescribed as treatment, but older adults have shown a reduced response to ... -
The Effects of Family Functioning on Academic Achievement in Children with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2013)Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a complex group of genetic blood disorders that currently affects 90,000-100,000 Americans primarily of African descent. SCD leads to physiological and psychosocial distress. In relation to ... -
Effects of Family Influences on the Patient Planning to Undergo Bariatric Surgery
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Background: Obesity is a health issue with more than one-third of adults in the United States being considered obese (Odgen, Carroll, Fryar, & Flegal, 2015). Obesity can cause serious health problems such as diabetes but ... -
Effects of finite coverage on global polarization observables in heavy ion collisions
(2018-05-10)In non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, the created matter possesses a large initial orbital angular momentum. Particles produced in the collisions could be polarized globally in the direction of the orbital ...
