(2009-06-09)Labels simplify our world by reducing complex ideas into simple phrases. Research suggests that labels even alter our visual perception to the point that we think images carrying common labels look similar to each other ...
-
(2017-04-24)Recent studies have shown that vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) materials possess many unique properties, including ferromagnetism. These properties can be used for spintronic applications, such as high density data ...
-
(1996)We discuss the progress that we have had in studying the effects that lateral confinement has in the electronic bandstructure of a superlattice, and consequently, on its current-voltage characteristics. This study has been ...
-
The Effects of Leptin Antagonist on Hypothalamic Neuropeptide Y Circuitry in Infantile Male Lambs. (2012-04-16)It is proposed that leptin signaling during infantile development is critical for structural organization of hypothalamic circuitry involved in the control of food intake and energy expenditure. The present study tested ...
-
(2019-04-25)Feather damaging behavior, the intentional removal of feathers without the biological need to do so (i.e. lining a nest, breeding display, preening), is a complex syndrome frequently seen in captive parrots. Feather damaging ...

Library, 2019-11-22)Mandatory disclosure policies are increasingly prevalent despite sparse evidence that they improve market outcomes. We study the effects of requiring home sellers to provide buyers with certified audits of residential ...
-
(1985)Three foliage species, Brassaia arboricola, Brassaia actinophylla, and Dracaena marginata, were evaluated for growth and quality in a simulated interior environment for six weeks. They were planted in each of four growing ...
-
(1987)This Undergraduate Fellows program focused on establishing a link between mental stress and changes in the heart’s electrical activity. Electrocardiograms were taken before and after a stressful event (a lab quiz). Examining ...

(2010-07-14)A study evaluating the effects of metaphylaxis antibiotics and milk replacer additives on the health and development of Holstein bull calves (n=52; mean body weight=42.28 kg + 3 kg; starting age <3 days) was conducted. The ...
-
(1979)Relatively little is known about the stress response in invertebrates or how to measure it. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) has been recommended as a possible indicator of stress in animals. The degree of stress effects ...
-
