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 ... -
The effect of explaining another's actions on children's implicit theories of balance
(2000)Children and adults often hold naive intuitive theories about how the physical world around them works, and their misconceptions can be difficult to change. Self-explanations have been found to be effective in producing ... -
Effect of extracellular volume on the energy stored in transmembrane concentration gradients
(2021-10-15)The amount of energy that can be retrieved from a concentration gradient across a membrane separating two compartments depends on the relative size of the compartments. Having a larger low-concentration compartment is in ... -
The Effect of Financial Systems on Earnings Management Among Firms Reporting Under IFRS
(University of Hertfordshire, 2006)This study examines the relation between financing system and earnings management and changes in the patterns of earnings management activities over time. Prior research suggests that managers are more likely to manage ... -
Effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage area reduction on the extrusion pressure of Aluminum AA6063 alloy using FE analysis modelling
(2020-01-21)Finite Element Analysis was carried out to describe the effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage reduction on deformation modelling (forward extrusion) of Aluminum AA6063 alloy. Curved die profiles of regular ... -
The Effect of Galaxy Interactions on Molecular Gas Properties
(2018-12-03)Galaxy interactions are often accompanied by an enhanced star formation rate (SFR). Since molecular gas is essential for star formation, it is vital to establish whether and by how much galaxy interactions affect the ... -
The effect of gender and load type on lower extremity biomechanics during jump landings
(2017-05-09)Introduction: Both gender and additional load have been shown to affect landing mechanics. Females are at an increased risk of sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury and patellofemoral pain syndrome, whereas males ... -
Effect of geometry on the fixation strength of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using BASHTI technique
(2020-09-08)The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of tendon and cannulated drill bit diameter on the strength of the bone and site hold tendon inside (BASHTI) fixation technique for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ... -
The effect of glucose dose and dual task performance on memory for emotional material
(2010)Whilst previous research has shown that glucose administration can boost memory performance, research investigating the effects of glucose on memory for emotional material has produced mixed findings. Whereas some research ... -
The effect of guar gum on carbohydrate-, fat- and protein-stimulated gut hormone secretion: modification of postprandial gastric inhibitory polypeptide and gastrin responses
(1985)The effect of incorporating guar gum into predominantly single-component meals of carbohydrate, fat or protein on liquid gastric emptying and on the secretion of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), gastrin and motilin, ... -
Effect of heat on the percutaneous absorption and skin retention of three model penetrants
(2004-02)The effect of heat on the transdermal delivery of model penetrants of differing lipophilicity through artificial membranes (non-rate limiting) and human epidermis was investigated in vitro. Saturated suspensions of the ... -
Effect of high haematocrit on the efficiency of high-flux dialysis therapies
(2008)Background/Aims: Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a powerful predictor of mortality in dialysis patients. Serial measurements of LV mass provide prognostic information. We evaluated the association between changes in ...
