Effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of athletes
(1977)The purpose of this thesis was to study the effects of various cognitive strategies on the treadmill running performance of intercollegiate wrestlers (N=12), The independent variables were the four cognitive strategies ... -
Effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of female swimmers
(1982)The purpose of this thesis was to examine the effects of cognitive strategies on the performance of three female swimmers. The independent variables were the three strategy conditions that were used by the subjects. The ... -
The effects of competition on underplanted juvenile white spruce in fill blocks in northern Alberta
(2020)This paper examined the effects of competition on juvenile white spruce growth planted in the understory of lodgepole pine on a mixedwood boreal site. Growth and success of planted white spruce seedlings were investigated ... -
Effects of concentric and eccentric contractions on strength, retention and bilateral transfer
(1978)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two different strength training methods, (concentric and eccentric) on strength, retention and bilateral transfer. Subjects were 22 male volunteers, aged 16 to 17. ... -
Effects of container volume and shape on the growth of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings
(1984)The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the growth of black spruce seedlings in containers with four soil volumes (45, 90, 180, 360 cm3) and at three diameter/depth shapes (1:2, 1:3, 1:4). Seedling height, root collar ... -
The effects of copper, calcium, and nickel on the olfactory response of fathead minnows: from neurophysiology to behaviour
(2014-01-22)The olfactory system is essential for a fish to be successful in an ecological context, and has been demonstrated to be sensitive to a variety of toxicants. The current biotic ligand model (BLM) for copper is an acute-toxicity ... -
Effects of copper, zinc and cadmium on the pigments and photosynthesis of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) seedlings
(1995)The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of heavy metals on pigments and photosynthesis in four and a half month old black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings. Photosynthetic pigment analysis by ... -
Effects of creative and noncreative problem-solving on anxiety
(1983)This study investigated whether the type of problem involved in creative performance increases anxiety level to a greater extent than the type of problem involved in noncreative performance. Subjects were 9 male and ... -
Effects of d-amphetamine sulfate and UCS-levels on one-way avoidance behaviour of two selectively bred strains of rat
(1973)Two experiments were carried out involving 40 animals of RHA/Lu and RLA/Lu strains in a one-way active avoidance situation. Subjects were tested for avoidance conditioning and activity with seven behavioural measurements ... -
Effects of depressed pH on reproduction, growth and survival of flagfish, Jordanella floridae (Good and Bean)
(1978)Breeding communities of flagflsh {Jordanella floridae) were exposed to adjusted pH levels of 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.5 and 4.0 for 21 days. Control water (pH 7.5) received no acid treatment. Egg production was significantly ... -
Effects of depressed pH on survival, growth and reproduction of brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill)
(1977)Brook trout were continuously exposed to depressed pH values from 4.0 to 6.0, at 0.5 unit Intervals during a nine-month partial-chronic bloassay. At all pH levels above 4.0, Juvenile fish exhibited greater than 96 per ... -
Effects of different forms of prostate specific antigen on prostate cancer cell invasion / by Andrew Philip Cumming
(2007, c200)Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in males around the world. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine protease that is secreted at high levels by prostate epithelial cells and most prostate cancer ... -
Effects of differential food deprivation on partial reinforcement in two selectively bred strains of rats
(1975)The effects of three levels of food deprivation, and shift in reinforcement patterns were investigated in selectively bred high-(RHA/Lu) and low( RLA/Lu) avoidance strains. The high-avoidance strain responded to the ... -
Effects of early education on later social, adaptative and behavioural functioning / by Arlene D. Whiffen.
The effects of early education on later social, adaptive and behavioural functioning was assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist and the Teacher’s Report Form. Twenty- five primary grade children who had been ... -
Effects of electrial stimulation and isokinetic exercise on serum enzymes and electrolytes
(1986)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of short-term electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscle, isokinetic leg extension and flexion exercise, and combined electrical stimulation and isokinetic ... -
Effects of electrical stimulation, isokinetic exercise and concurrent isokinetic exercise with electrical stimulation on acquisition and retention of strength, endurance and bilateral transfer in females
(1985)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of four different training methods (isokinetic exercise, electrical muscle stimulation, concurrent electrical muscle stimulation with isokinetic exercise, and no ... -
Effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration and light on biomass morphology and physiology of black spruce and white spruce seedlings
(2008)Carbon dioxide concentration and light interactions influence competition among boreal tree species, though little is known about the exact effects. The interactive effects of [CO 2 ] and light on growth, biomass production, ... -
