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 ... -
Effects of Landscape Structure, Habitat Type and Flower Density on Bee Abundance within the Chicago Wilderness Region
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2009)Urbanization and habitat fragmentation are major threats to the conservation of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Prairies were once widespread across the American Midwest, including the region now known as the Chicago ... -
The Effects of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonism on TRPV4 Mediated Vasodilation in the Aorta of Hypertensive Rats
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)Understanding the vascular action of transient receptor potential (TRP) vanilliod 4 (TRPV4) channels is imperative to the development of novel and effective therapeutic treatments for hypertension. TRP channels are potential ... -
Effects of NMDA receptor antagonist to induce cortical activation in vivo
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is an amino acid derivative that mimics the action of glutamate at the NMDA receptor (NMDAR). NMDAR is important in regulating synaptic plasticity, memory, and functional development of sensory ... -
The Effects of Organic Fertilizer on Two Surrogate Species of the Endangered Mitchell’s Satyr Butterfly
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)Climate change and habitat development represent two major contributors to the current large scale loss of ecological diversity. Land development specifically has been implicated in directly reducing the numbers of many ... -
Effects of Prolonged Dietary Exposure to Phytoestrogens on Spermatogenesis and Testis Development of Rats
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)The mammalian testis supports the process of spermatogenesis, which is sperm cell production. Spermatogenesis occurs within Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules and its duration is 51.6 days. Endogenous estrogen ... -
Effects of rain and insecticides on Drosophila suzukii abundance and behavior
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2017)An invasive insect to the Unites States, Drosophilia suzukii (SWD) has been destroying marketable fruit, particularly blueberries, since its introduction. The current pest management strategy relies heavily on full field ... -
Effects of Repetitive Sub-concussive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2014)Approximately 67,000 high school football players are clinically diagnosed with a concussion each year, and it is estimated that the equivalence goes undiagnosed. With concussion awareness dramatically increasing, attention ... -
Effects of Selective Myostatin Inhibitor PAH-A on Broiler Skeletal Muscle Production
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2008)A fivefold increase in worldwide meat production over the past 50 years has fueled research in muscle physiology toward the development of methods to increase skeletal muscle growth in agricultural animals. A breakthrough ... -
Effects of Soil Nitrogen Abundance on Plant-Rhizobia Mutualisms in Hog Peanut, Amphicarpaea bracteata
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2015)Observe of the effects of N availability on the mutualistic qualities of rhizobia . Measured N availability , plant fitness, and rhizobia fitness. -
Effects of Supplemental Sulfur on Growth and Stress Tolerance of Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
(Kalamazoo College, 2007-04-27)Atmospheric sulfur dioxide emissions have become greatly reduced leading to reduced amounts of sulfate in soils. Without supplemental sulfur (S) fertilization, S may become a limiting nutrient. Sulfur is a constituent ... -
Effects of the nematode Gyrinicola batrachiensis on the development and gut morphology of larval stages of the Green frog, Rana clamitans
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2013)The nematode Gyrinicola batrachiensis is known to infect the gastrointestinal tract of tadpoles of eight North American anurans, including bull frogs and green frogs. Gregory Pryor and Karen Bjorndal describe a novel ... -
Effects of Typha x glauca Invasion on Nitrogen Fixation in a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College, 2008)Typha x glauca is an invasive hybrid which poses a serious threat to Great Lakes region wetlands. Extremely high levels of nitrogen have previously been found in the soils of T. glauca-infested marshes, and this was theorized ... -
Effects of Urbanization on Stream Salamander Habitat Selection: An Experimental Study
(2007-04-27)Conservation of headwater streams, and the biota associated with them, is becoming more important as many streams are being “urbanized” with an increase in construction and development in their surrounding areas. Biota ... -
