Influence of Gestational Exercise on One-Month Infant Resting Autonomic and Cardiac Control
(East Carolina University, 2022-09-29)Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of exercise type during pregnancy on an infant's cardiac and autonomic nervous systems at one month of age. This research is essential because of ... -
The Influence of High-Stakes Accountability Policy on Teacher Job Satisfaction and Turnover
(East Carolina University, 2015)The current study examined the impact of teacher stress related to high-stakes testing and educational policy changes on teacher turnover. Predictors of teacher turnover such as demographics, stress, educational policy ... -
Influence of linguistic context and working memory on auditory comprehension in young and older adults with aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the influence of linguistic context on auditory comprehension in adults with aphasia, explore effects of the explanatory variables of age, working memory (WM), aphasia ... -
INFLUENCE OF MATERNAL EXERCISE TYPE ON MATERNAL AND INFANT METABOLIC HEALTH
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Purpose: Current research supports that chronic exercise in the non-pregnant population promotes metabolic adaptations at rest (reduction in glucose, lactate, lipids), but little is known of the maternal metabolic adaptations ... -
Influence Of Maternal Training Modes On Offspring Heart Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2015)Background: Regular exercise during pregnancy provides many maternal and fetal health benefits. Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are good indicators of heart health. Maternal exercise improves fetal HR and ... -
Influence of Perivascular Adipose Tissue on Central Arterial Mechanics and Hemodynamics: A Parametric Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical influence of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) on arterial wall mechanics and hemodynamics, which are key regulators in cardiovascular disease progression. Fluid-structure ... -
Influence of Permeable Interlocking Concrete Paver Performance on Infiltration and Temperature in an Urban Watershed
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-26)Urbanization is a form of land use change that typically results in an expansion of impervious surfaces and increased soil compaction. These urban-induced changes in watershed hydrology can result in stream channel erosion, ... -

The Influence of the War of 1812 on Great Lakes Shipbuilding
(East Carolina University, 2012)The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the War of 1812 influenced ship construction techniques on the Great Lakes. During the War of 1812, much of the fighting in the North American theater of war primarily ... -
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(East Carolina University, 2010)Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ... -
Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(East Carolina University, 2012)When a muscle produces voluntary force, muscles on the opposite side of the joint, the antagonists, are also activated. While coactivation of the knee flexors during knee extension is presumed to increase joint stability ... -
Influence of virtual reality height exposure on cognitive load and visual processing during balance beam walking
(East Carolina University, 2021-06-04)Balance is a critical component of many activities of daily living and sports. Effective balance control relies on the input from multiple sensory systems, such as proprioceptive information about one's body position and ... -
