Effect of oral glutamine supplementation on resting blood and saliva immune parameters in endurance trained athletes
(2001)There is considerable evidence suggesting that frequent, intense, long duration exercise is associated with adverse effects on the immune system as shown by a decrease in immune cell numbers and function. This may ... -
Effect of photoperiod on apical growth cessation in tamarack (Larix laricina) and balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) provenances from northern Ontario
(1990)The effects of four photoperiods (i.e. 6, 10, 14, and 18 hours) on the rate of apical growth cessation and apical bud primordia production were studied in controlled environment experiments using tamarack {Larix laricina ... -
Effect of physical fitness exercise on the distribution of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and other lipid fractions
(1982)The effect of participation in a physical fitness programme of moderate intensity on plasma lipoprotein cholesterols, total cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein-A levels was investigated. Forty-nine inactive ... -
Effect of prenatal cadmium exposure on development and behavior of selectively bred genetic lines of rat
(1988)PELLETIER, M. R. (1988). Effect of prenatal cadmium exposure on development and behavior of selectively bred genetic lines of rat: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of cadmium exposure as related ... -
Effect of rpoS inactivation on biofilm formation of a p-nitrophenol degrading Pseudomonas putida strain
(2005)With the widespread existence of environmental pollutants in the modern world, effective, non-destructive means of remediation are becoming more and more desirable as an alternative to the traditional excavation and ... -
Effect of seasonal training on selected physical and physiological variables of junior male alpine ski racers
(1990)The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) to investigate the effect of seasonal training on anthropometry, muscular strength and power, motor ability, flexibility, aerobic power, and anaerobic power and capacity, 2) ... -
Effect of seasonal wrestling training and unavoidable interventions on selected physiological parameters
(1979)The purpose of this study was to investigate, 1) the effect of seasonal wrestling training on aerobic and anaerobic power, physical working capacity (170), resting, maximal and recovery heart rate, 2) to determine the ... -
Effect of semantic representations on episodic memory for unrelated sensory information
(1995)The present research investigated the integration of meaning and sensory information within episodic memory. Early research (e.g. Morris, Bransford & Franks, 1977; Stein, 1978, as well as Tulving & Thomson, 1973; Fisher ... -
The effect of size, value, and arrangement on perceived numerosity
(1972)Numerosity (perceived quantity) is shown in four experiments to vary with several factors: item-size, item-value, pattern size, and possibly the arrangement of items within patterns. -
Effect of thin media images on the food consumption and affect of binge eaters : examining the role of social comparison / by Sabreena K. Bola.
(2007)Binge eating has become a prevalent issue for young women. A great deal of attention has focused on the etiological mechanisms underlying binge behaviour. Affect regulation models have received empirical support suggesting ... -
Effect of two interval training programs on lactate threshold, ventilatory threshold and oxygen kinetics at the onset of exercise in females
(1991)The primary purpose of the present study was to measure the effects of two different forms of high intensity aerobic interval training. These modes were a) training at a 1:1 work/rest ratio, using 30 seconds work and ... -
Effect of water salinity on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of light backfill material
(2007)A series of one-dimensional compression tests was conducted to examine and compare the hydro-mechanical behaviour of light backfill (LBF) material, composed of 50% bentonite and 50% sand, in the presence of distilled water ... -
Effective root growth potential of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) container stock
(1989)The effective root growth potential (RGP) of both potted and outplanted jack pine seedlings grown in Lannen-Sokeri FH-408 paperpots and Can-Am #2 Multipots was measured on three test dates during the summers of 1986 and ... -
Effectiveness of a structured handwriting program
(1999)The purpose of this study was to assess the use of a structured multi-sensory handwriting program with grade one students. This study utilized a multiple-group time series design and included a pre-test. A standardized ... -
Effectiveness of dispute resolution mechanisms in natural resource management in Ontario
(1994)For a variety of reasons, the number and complexity of natural resource management conflicts in Ontario is increasing rapidly. To evaluate the premise that existing natural resource management planning processes are ... -
Effectiveness of self-restoration for two small mine impacted shield lakes
(2003)Cleaver Lake and Horneblende Lake in the Whitesand Watershed were studied for the impact of mining and milling activities. No release of zinc, copper, iron, or manganese was detected in aerated sediment samples and there ... -
