Ebola Virus Disease Stigmatization; The Role of Societal Attributes
(2015)Globally, persons with diseases like leprosy, tuberculosis, H1N1, SARS or HIV/AIDS have been stigmatized. The ongoing Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa has been the longest outbreak in the history of the ... -
Educators in Industry: An Exploratory Study to Determine how Teacher Externships Influence K-12 Classroom Practices
(2018)This exploratory study investigates the impacts of industry- based externships for K-12 teachers, and reports teachers’ perspectives on how these experiences influenced K-12 classroom practices. The program of focus in ... -
Effect of antibiotic use and composting on antibiotic resistance gene abundance and resistome risks of soils receiving manure-derived amendments
(Elsevier, 2019-05-03)Manure-derived amendments are commonly applied to soil, raising questions about whether antibiotic use in livestock could influence the soil resistome (collective antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)) and ultimately contribute ... -
Effect of planting density on nutritional quality of green-chopped corn for silage
(American Dairy Science Association, 2014-09)The objective of this on-farm study was to determine the effect of corn planting density on the nutritional quality of whole-plant corn for silage. This study was performed in a commercial 1,900-cow dairy farm located in ... -
Effect of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium VNP20009 and VNP20009 with restored chemotaxis on 4T1 mouse mammary carcinoma progression
(Impact Journals Llc, 2017-05-16)A variety of bacterial strains have been evaluated as bio-therapeutic and immunomodulatory agents to treat cancer. One such strain, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium VNP20009, which is attenuated by a purine auxotrophic ... -
The effect of temporal aggregation level in social network monitoring
(PLOS, 2018-12-19)Social networks have become ubiquitous in modern society, which makes social network monitoring a research area of significant practical importance. Social network data consist of social interactions between pairs of ... -
Effect of Various OR Noise on Fine Motor Skills, Cognition, and Mood
(Hindawi, 2019-07-04)Background. The amalgam of noises inherent to the modern-day operating room has the potential of diluting surgeon concentration, which could affect surgeon performance and mood and have implications on quality of care and ... -
Effects of an Active Learning Approach on Students’ Motivation in an Engineering Course
(Redfame, 2019-01-31)Because there are many positive effects of active learning approaches on students’ motivation and achievement, some authors have recommended that these approaches be widely implemented. A research-intensive university ... -
The effects of an afterschool STEM program on students’ motivation and engagement
(SpringerOpen, 2017-06-12)Background: Calculus is a foundational course for STEM-intending students yet has been shown to dissuade students from pursuing STEM degrees. In this report, we examine factors related to students and instructors reporting ... -
Effects of biological monitoring and results outreach on private landowner conservation management
(PLOS, 2018-04-04)Sustained management efforts by private landowners are crucial for the long-term success of private land natural resource conservation and related environmental benefits. Landowner outreach is a primary means of recruiting ... -
Effects of Dairy Manure-Based Amendments and Soil Texture on Lettuce-and Radish-Associated Microbiota and Resistomes
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)Dairy cattle are routinely treated with antibiotics, and the resulting manure or composted manure is commonly used as a soil amendment for crop production, raising questions regarding the potential for antibiotic resistance ... -
The effects of dietary macronutrient composition on lipid metabolismassociated factor gene expression in the adipose tissue of chickens are influenced by fasting and refeeding
(BMC, 2017-05-10)Background: Broiler chickens are compulsive feeders that become obese as juveniles and are thus a unique model for metabolic disorders in humans. However, little is known about the relationship between dietary composition, ... -
