The effects of knee bracing on reactive agility performance among healthy soccer players – a pilot study
(2023)Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. The increase in the sport’s popularity is paralleled with an increased prevalence of knee injuries. Knee braces are commonly worn in athletic populations to prevent knee ... -
Effects of KNO3 and NaH2PO4 on lipid synthesis and CaCO3 accumulation in pleurochrysis carterae and newly identified algal shell coccolith structure
(2019)Due to the limited energy reserves and the increasing demand for energy, a large number of greenhouse gases such as CO2 have been released to the air. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new sources of energy and ... -
Effects of macrophyte cutting on a whole lake ecosystem
(2023)Macrophytes are of significant importance to aquatic ecosystems, generating primary production in nearshore environments and providing physical structure and habitat for organisms in the littoral zone of lakes. Macrophyte ... -
The effects of moderate exercise on cognitive, cervical, and vestibulo-ocular functioning in healthy individuals: a pilot study
(2018)While cognitive and physical rest have long been the protocol that most physicians have recommended for concussions, there has been an increase in interest with regards to the prescription of low intensity symptom-limited ... -
The effects of naturally-derived plant compounds on pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity
(2014-12-12)Pseudomonas aeruginosa has risen as one of the most resistant bacterial pathogens affecting people worldwide. Inefficacy of current antimicrobial treatments to relieve P. aeruginosa infections demands the need for novel ... -
The effects of neurocognitive and physical tasks on breathing and executive functioning in healthy versus concussed Canadian military members
(2022)When on active-duty, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members may be exposed to dangers and repetitive sub-concussive impacts such as explosive devices, loud gunfire, and handto-hand physical combat. These individuals are at ... -
Effects of nitrogen supply on the physiological and morphological responses to elevated [CO2] in yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.)
(2023)Ongoing climate changes can substantially impact soil nitrogen availability through its effects on other environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and the frequency and intensity of extreme whether ... -
Effects of nutrient supply, soil temperature and root interactions on morphology, growth, biomass and physiological responses of black spruce and white spruce seedlings to CO2 elevation
(2012-11-10)Changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and temperature may influence nutrient resources and how boreal species respond to their environment. The effects of increased [CO2] on plants are generally positive but can ... -
Effects of nutrients conditions and solids retention time (SRT) on performance and membrane fouling of aerobic membrane bioreactors (MBRs)
(2015-10-21)This thesis investigated the effect of chemical oxygen demand (COD) to nitrogen ratio (COD:N) in feed on the biological performance of aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR). Meanwhile, the effects of nutrients condition (COD:N ... -
The Effects of Oral Contraceptives on Emotional Reactivity and Cognition
(2015)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of oral contraceptives (OCs) on emotional reactivity and cognitive ability. Previous research has suggested that OC users may experience blunted positive affect ... -
Effects of Photoperiod, Soil Moisture and Soil Temperature on the Northward Migration Potential of Jack Pine under the Scenario of Doubled Atmospheric CO2 Concentration
(2016)Climate envelope models predict that boreal trees can potentially migrate northward by as much as 10º by 2100 as a consequence of the predicted climate change associated with the doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration, ... -
Effects of process operating conditions on performance and membrane fouling in submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs)
(2016)Submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) technology is becoming an attractive alternative for industrial wastewater treatment as it improves the biological process while allowing for the recovery of energy through ... -
The effects of sex, menstrual cycle phase, and hormonal contraceptives on inhibitory control
(2022)Inhibitory control is a major aspect of executive functioning, and ovarian hormones (e.g., progesterone and estrogen) have been found to affect processes related to inhibitory control. This was the first study to examine ... -
The effects of smelling salts on hockey players' reaction time, anaerobic performance and sympathetic nervous system
(2019)Background/Objectives: Smelling salts are a commonly used ergogenic aid in various sports, particularly in elite hockey. However, the extent of performance enhancing effects of smelling salts on reaction time and performance ... -
The effects of soil compaction on the germination and growth of Picea mariana and Pinus banksiana
(2020)Soil compaction has long been an issue for the forestry industry. Soil compaction can reduce soil aeration, porosity and drainage, and restrict the growth and success of trees and other plants. The objective of this study ... -
The Effects of the knowledge economy on women and resource dependent communities in Northern Ontario
(2009)Historically women have often been confined to the home while their husbands were expected to earn a living to support their families. This was particularly true in resource communities as little job diversity existed, ... -
The effects of therapeutic patellar taping techniques on lower extremity kinematics during running in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome
(2016)The effectiveness of patellar taping techniques for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS), including McConnell’s Medial Glide and Mechanical Correction Technique with Tension in the Base, remains controversial, with no ... -
The Effects of Therapeutic Tape on Pain, Range of Motion, Power, Balance and Strength in Physically Active Individuals with Patellar Tendinopathy
(2015)Patellar tendinopathy is a common injury found among active populations. Typically, tendon pain and tenderness are the most prevalent symptoms associated with patellar tendinopathy and can range from mild to severe. This ... -
