The Effects of a Locally Made Pineapple and Papaya herbicide on Weeds and Soil
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2016)Herbicides are often relied upon as an integral part of weed control. A lack of proper safety equipment and high initial input costs can make the application of herbicides risky for small-scale farmers. Low-cost herbicides ... -
The effects of a mindfulness meditation course on perceived stress, perception of life, and resilience in undergraduate students
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)A considerable amount of research has documented the negative effects of stress on human health and well-being. Stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness meditation may be implemented in order to improve overall ... -
Effects of Acute Exposure to Titanium Dioxide on Endothelial Function
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Nanotechnology, the manipulation and manufacturing of particles less than 100 nm in size, is at the forefront of scientific research. However, there is evidence that the size-dependent properties of nanoparticles may ... -
The Effects of Acute Heatwaves on Fathead Minnows
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Extreme weather events are more common due to anthropogenic climate change (Kayler et al., 2015). Heatwaves are predicted to increase in magnitude and frequency (Kunkel et al., 2013). The effects of short heatwaves can ... -
Effects of aggression on breeding, affiliation, and reproductive success of Island foxes
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)The island fox (Urocyon littoralis) is found on the Channel Islands off the coast of southern California (Figure 1). The National Park Service began a captive breeding program when three subspecies on the northern islands ... -
Effects of Amphetamine and Nicotine on Auditory Gating: An Animal Model of Schizophrenia
(Kalamazoo College, 2002)Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder occurring in 1% of the population Many symptoms may arise due to deficient sensory gating in the brain Chronic nicotine abuse may be therapeutic to patients Sensory gating can ... -
Effects of annual removal of Plethodon cinereus on plant diversity in the E.N. Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)Biodiversity is essential to ecosystem maintenance and helps to stabilize ecosystems by making it easier to recover from disturbances, human or other (Gibert and Deharveng, 2002). One way to look biodiversity is through ... -
Effects of Bacterial Metabolite Butyrate and Fiber-Free Diet on Allergic Phenotype in a Murine Model of Peanut Allergy
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2015)Food allergies have become an epidemic in our modern world. Between 1997 and 2007, the CDC documented an 18% increase in the prevalence of food allergy in children. Recent scientific research has turned to the microbiota, ... -
The effects of constant and fluctuating thermal environments on the life history traits of the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2018)Climatic changes involve increasing temperatures, which will continue to occur for the foreseeable future (Mora et al., 2013). Most climate change experiments are done in constant temperatures. We know experimentally ... -
The Effects of Cytidine Deaminases on Cellular Transformation
(Kalamazoo College, 2005-04-29)In this study, Rogers (2005) researched the effects of various levels of the APOBEC proteins AID and APOBEC3G on human 293 kidney cells using a transfected cell line. Relative rates of transformation were determined using ... -
Effects of Dietary Protein and Other Nutritional Factors on Canine Cancer
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2012)This study precedes the Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Lifetime Health Project, or CLHP, with the purpose of validating the nutritional section of the biannual questionnaire. The CLHP will follow 3000 Golden Retrievers ... -
The Effects of Dominant Plant Species’ Densities on the Invasibility and Diversity of a Prairie Grassland
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Studies have shown that biodiversity in an area can be influenced by the traits of the dominant species within that community and that the composition of rare species (which often comprises the majority of the diversity ... -
Effects of elevated nitrogen and fire on the community structure of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in a California grassland
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)Climate change expected to increase rate of soil nitrogen (N) deposition and wildfire frequency in many regions4 Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) catalyze the rate-limiting step in nitrification; N2O (nitrous oxide) is ... -
The Effects of Elevation on Pseudacris maculata Presence in Rocky Mountain National Park
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2022)Boreal chorus frog populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, disease, and invasive species, which will be compounded by climate change. The changing environment of the planet has led to an increasing ... -
Effects of environmental agents on bacteria from the oral cavity
(Kalamazoo College, 2004)Current cancer research links Helicobacter pylori with stomach cancer and the genus Neisseria with nuclei aberrations in the oral cavity. In a similar model, preliminary results of a recent study (Mager et al, 2002) ... -
The Effects of Environmental Enrichment on the Ability of Octopus rubescens to Learn Novel Behavior
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)The purpose of this study was to quantitively demonstrate the benefits of enriching captive octopuses. -
The Effects of Extracellular ATP on Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF2)
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)It was once thought that the brain lacked the ability to regenerate, and once a neuron died, it was not replaced. However, it was recently discovered in the central nervous system that the olfactory epithelium, hippocampus, ... -
The Effects of Fertilization and Heterogeneity on the Growth Strategies of Clonal Plants
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)Theory predicts that in heterogeneous nutrient environments species richness should increase due to increased niche differentiation. However, the evidence to support this theory has been very limited and in many cases ... -
Effects of Growth Factors on Proliferation and Differentiation of Human Mammary Stem/Progenitor Cells
(Kalamazoo College, 2003)Cells cultured from breast reduction samples contain a small number of undifferentiated stem/progenitor cells that give rise to all three cell lineages of the mammary gland, epithelial, myoepithelial, and alveolar. Stem ... -
Effects of High Tech Swim Suits on Time Improvement
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2010-04)In 2008, the introduction of high tech swim suits increased body compression and dramatically reduced drag through the water. Along with the use of polyurethane, which increases buoyancy, the tech-suits resulted in dramatic ...
