Effects of linguistic context on the acceptability of co-speech gestures
(Ubiquity Press, Ltd., 2018)We ask whether iconic co-speech gestures are judged as more natural by naive participants when their content is entailed by a preceding context, or repeated in the same utterance, or when they contribute new information ... -
Effects of Low Temperature O2 Treatment on the Electrical Characteristics of Amorphous LaAlO3 Films by Atomic Layer Deposition
(Electrochemical Society, 2008)Amorphous LaAlO3 films were deposited on hydrogen-terminated silicon substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at 300 oC. The precursors were lanthanum tris(N,N'-diisopropylformamidinate), trimethylaluminum (TMA) and ... -
Effects of mammalian herbivore declines on plant communities: observations and experiments in an African savanna
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)1. Herbivores influence the structure and composition of terrestrial plant communities. However, responses of plant communities to herbivory are variable and depend on environmental conditions, herbivore identity and ... -
Effects of Maternal Input on Language in the Absence of Genetic Confounds: Vocabulary Development in Internationally Adopted Children
(Cognitive Science Society, 2010)Parents provide children with both genes (nature) and linguistic input (nurture). A growing body of research demonstrates that individual differences in children's language are correlated with differences in parental speech. ... -
Effects of molecular resonances on Rydberg blockade
(American Physical Society (APS), 2015)We study the effect of resonances associated with complex molecular interaction of Rydberg atoms on Rydberg blockade. We show that densely spaced molecular potentials between doubly excited atomic pairs become unavoidably ... -
The effects of nicotine on cone and rod b-wave responses in larval zebrafish
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013-06-28)Acetylcholine is present in and released from starburst amacrine cells in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), but its role in retinal function except, perhaps, in early development, is unclear. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors ... -
Effects of Non-Symbolic Approximate Number Practice on Symbolic Numerical Abilities in Pakistani Children
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Current theories of numerical cognition posit that uniquely human symbolic number abilities connect to an early developing cognitive system for representing approximate numerical magnitudes, the approximate number system ... -
The effects of Obama's political success on the self-rated health of Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites
(International Society on Hypertention in Blacks, 2011)Stress in the social environment can affect individual health. Election of the first Black President of the United States provides an opportunity to assess how a positive change in the macro-political climate impacts the ... -
Effects of Odd–Even Side Chain Length of Alkyl-Substituted Diphenylbithiophenes on First Monolayer Thin Film Packing Structure
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Because of their preferential two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth in thin films, 5,5′bis(4-alkylphenyl)-2,2′-bithiophenes (P2TPs) are model compounds for studying the effects of systematic chemical structure variations ... -
Effects of Orography and Surface Heat Fluxes on the South Asian Summer Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)A high-resolution (40 km horizontal) global model is used to examine controls on the South Asian summer monsoon by orography and surface heat fluxes. In a series of integrations with altered topography and reduced surface ... -
Effects of Perceived Cocaine Availability on Subjective and Objective Responses to the Drug
(BioMed Central, 2007)Rationale: Several lines of evidence suggest that cocaine expectancy and craving are two related phenomena. The present study assessed this potential link by contrasting reactions to varying degrees of the drug's perceived ... -
The Effects of Performance-Contingent Financial Incentives in Online Labor Markets
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2013)Online labor markets such as Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) have emerged as platforms that facilitate the allocation of productive effort across global economies. Many of these markets compensate workers with monetary ... -
Effects of Planet Curvature and Crust on the Shock Pressure Field Around Impact Basins
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)We investigate the effects of planetary curvature and the crust-mantle boundary on the shock pressure field around impact basins on Mars using acoustic ray path calculations and hydrocode simulations. Planet curvature and, ... -
Effects of Prosodic and Lexical Constraints on Parsing in Young Children (and Adults)
(Elsevier, 2008)Prior studies of ambiguity resolution in young children have found that children rely heavily on lexical information but persistently fail to use referential constraints in online parsing [Trueswell, J.C., Sekerina, I., ... -
The Effects of Redistricting on Incumbents
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2012)We analyze the effects of redistricting on the electoral fortunes of incumbent legislators, using voting data on U.S. congressional districts, state legislative districts, and statewide races. We find little evidence that ... -
Effects of Reynolds number and solidity ratio on advection dominated mixing in a high-altitude instrument
(IOP Publishing, 2023-03-28)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Due to the role of ClO and BrO in the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycles enabling ozone loss, measurement of concentrations of these halogen molecules is ... -
Effects of Short-Term Warming On Low and High Latitude Forest Ant Communities
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)Climatic change is expected to have differential effects on ecological communities in different geographic areas. However, few studies have experimentally demonstrated the effects of warming on communities simultaneously ... -
The Effects of Somatic Hypermutation on Neutralization and Binding in the PGT121 Family of Broadly Neutralizing HIV Antibodies
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies (bnAbs) are typically highly somatically mutated, raising doubts as to whether they can be elicited by vaccination. We used 454 sequencing and designed a novel phylogenetic method to ... -
Effects of Subliminal Priming of Self and God on Self-Attribution of Authorship for Events
(Elsevier, 2008)Three studies investigated how subliminally primed thoughts of an agent prior to action can affect ascriptions of authorship for that action. Participants competed against a computer program to remove words from a computer ... -
Effects of supermassive binary black holes on gravitational lenses
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Recent observations indicate that many, if not all, galaxies host massive central black holes (BHs). In this paper, we explore the influence of supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) on their actions as gravitational ...
