The effect of different durations of carbohydrate mouth rinse on cycling performance
(2014)Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to improve time trial performance. Although the exact mechanism remains un-established, research postulates that there are oral cavity receptors which increase neural drive. ... -
The Effect of Different Forms of Synaptic Plasticity on Pattern Recognition in the Cerebellar Cortex
(2009)Many cerebellar learning theories assume that long-term depression (LTD) of synapses between parallel fibres (PFs) and Purkinje cells (PCs) provides the basis for pattern recognition in the cerebellum. Previous work has ... -
Effect of Different Inlet/Outlet Port Configurations on the Thermal Management of Prismatic Li-ion Batteries
(2022-11-30)The performance and life cycle of Li-ion batteries are governed by the maximum temperature and uniformity of temperature distribution in the battery pack and an efficient thermal management system is highly desired to keep ... -
The effect of different metallic counterface materials and different surface treatments on the wear and friction of polyamide 66 and its composite in rolling-sliding contact
(2003)The effect of different metallic counterface materials and different surface treatments on the tribological behaviour of polymer and polymer composite under unlubricated, non-conformal and rolling-sliding contact has been ... -
The effect of different types of synaptic plasticity on the performance of associative memory networks with excitatory and inhibitory sub-populations
(Springer Nature, 2012)In real neuronal networks it is known that neurons are either excitatory or inhibitory. However, it is not known whether all synapses within the subpopulations are plastic. It is interesting to investigate the implications ... -
The effect of dilution of fusidic acid cream and betamethasone dipropionate cream in complex extemporaneous mixes on formulation performance
(2022-08-25)The Aron regimen is an unconventional therapy which entails frequent applications of an extemporaneously prepared three component system (a topical antibiotic, a corticosteroid and an emollient), with the intention of ... -
The effect of disulphide bond disruption on the barrier integrity of the human nail
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-04-14)Onychomycosis is the fungal infection of the nail and accounts for approximately 50% of all nail disorders [1]. The prevalence of onychomycosis is increasing and currently up to 10 % of people in the UK and US are reported ... -
Effect of early treatment with rafoxanide on antipyrine clearance in sheep infected with Fasciola hepatica
(1993-01)1. The effect of the salicylanilide compound rafoxanide against immature stages of Fasciola hepatica was investigated in sheep using a series of antipyrine clearance tests and measuring glutamate dehydrogenase and ... -
Effect of electric current pulse treatment on the corrosion rate and strength of specimens made of 45 steel
(2010)The paper presents results of static tensile tests of specimens made of 45 steel after holding them for 100 h in a corrosive medium. It has been shown that due to the pretreatment of specimens with electric current pulse ... -
Effect of electric load and dual atmosphere on the properties of an alkali containing diopside-based glass sealant for solid oxide cells
(2019-03-01)A new alkali-containing diopside based glass-ceramic sealant for solid oxide cells was synthesized, characterized and tested. The composition was designed to match the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of Crofer22APU ... -
Effect of Electromagnetic Treatment on Fatigue Resistance of 2011 Aluminium Alloy
(2016-08-08)Beneficial effects of the electromagnetic treatment on fatigue resistance were reported on several engineering alloys. These could be linked to the dislocation activity and the rearrangement of the crystal structure of the ... -
Effect of electropulsing on the fatigue resistance of aluminium alloy 2014-T6
(2020-01-20)The effects of electropulsing on the fatigue resistance of aluminium alloy 2014-T6 were studied in relation to electric current amplitude, pulse duration, and number of repetitions. Utilising the Taguchi method, the present ... -
The Effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on the Franchise Relationship
(2013-12)This article aims to understand how the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of the franchise system may impact franchisor–franchisee relationship quality, given the conflicting forces for standardization/uniformity and ... -
The effect of environment on the ultraviolet color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies
(2007-12-01)We use GALEX near-UV (NUV ) photometry of a sample of early-type galaxies selected in the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to study the UV color-magnitude relation (CMR). NUV - r color is an excellent tracer of even small ... -
The effect of erythrosine-B on the structuration of poloxamer 407 and cellulose derivative blends: in silico modelling supporting experimental studies
(2021-11-30)Erythrosine is a dye approved for medical use that has shown promising photodynamic activity, allowing for the inactivation of microorganisms and activity against malignant cells. Despite the great photodynamic potential, ... -
The effect of ethnicity on collectivist families’ meal social interaction behaviour in Sierra Leone, International Journal of Advanced Research
(2016-12-20)Ethnicity has been touted to have a significant influence on Sierra Leonean families’ meal consumption behaviour. It is used to define the social grouping of individuals as it is aligned with the type of language they ... -
Effect of ethnicity, gender and age on the amount and composition of residual skin surface components derived from sebum, sweat and epidermal lipids
(2014-02)Background/purpose: The superficial layer on the skin surface, known as the acid mantle, comprises a mixture of sebum, sweat, corneocyte debris and constituents of natural moisturizing factor. Thus, the phrase 'residual ... -
The effect of exercise on PAI-1 and other markers of the insulin resistance syndrome in overweight & obese individuals : the impact of work stressors and other predictors
(University of Hertfordshire, 2002)Introduction: Obesity, and in particular central fat accumulation, is associated with a number of metabolic disturbances such as dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance. Such `clustering' of factors is known as the Insulin ...
