The Effect of Mindfulness on Heart Rate Control
(Springer Verlag, 2009)An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that mindful attention to change regarding heart rate (HR) would result in greater control over HR. Experimental groups monitored the changing or stable nature of HR, ... -
Effect of Molecular Structure of Quinones and Carbon Electrode Surfaces on the Interfacial Electron Transfer Process
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-01-28)Quinones can undergo thermodynamically reversible proton-coupled electron transfer reactions and are being applied as electroactive compounds in aqueous organic batteries. However, the electrochemical reversibility of these ... -
The Effect of Noise on the Dust Temperature-Spectral Index Correlation
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)We investigate how uncertainties in flux measurements affect the results from modified blackbody spectral energy distribution (SED) fits. We show that an inverse correlation between the dust temperature T and spectral index ... -
Effect of Non-Hydrostatic Stress on Kinetics and Interfacial Roughness during Solid Phase Epitaxial Growth in Si
(Materials Research Society, 1997)We report preliminary <i>in-situ</i> time-resolved measurements of the effect of uniaxial stress on solid phase epitaxial growth in pure Si (001) for the case of stress applied parallel to the amorphous-crystal interface. ... -
Effect of Nonhydrostatic Stress on Crystal Growth Kinetics
(Materials Research Society, 1991)The effect of nonhydrostatic stresses on the solid phase epitaxial growth rate of crystalline Si(100) into self-implanted amorphous surface layers has been measured. Uniaxial stresses of up to 6 kbar (0.6 GPa) were attained ... -
The effect of one additional driver mutation on tumor progression
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Tumor growth is caused by the acquisition of driver mutations, which enhance the net reproductive rate of cells. Driver mutations may increase cell division, reduce cell death, or allow cells to overcome density-limiting ... -
The Effect of Orbital Configuration on the Possible Climates and Habitability of Kepler-62f
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2016)Abstract As lower-mass stars often host multiple rocky planets, gravitational interactions among planets can have significant effects on climate and habitability over long timescales. Here we explore a specific case, ... -
Effect of Population III multiplicity on dark star formation
(Oxford University Press, 2012)We numerically study the mutual interaction between dark matter (DM) and Population III (Pop III) stellar systems in order to explore the possibility of Pop III dark stars within this physical scenario. We perform a ... -
Effect of Pore Structure of Macroporous Poly(Lactide-co-Glycolide) Scaffolds on the in Vivo Enrichment of Dendritic Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2014)The in vivo enrichment of dendritic cells (DCs) in implanted macroporous scaffolds is an emerging strategy to modulate the adaptive immune system. The pore architecture is potentially one of the key factors in controlling ... -
The Effect of Porogen Loading on the Stiffness and Fracture Energy of Brittle Organosilicates
(Materials Research Society, 2009)Integrating porous low-permittivity dielectrics into Cu metallization is one of the strategies to reduce power consumption, signal propagation delays, and crosstalk between interconnects for the next generation of integrated ... -
Effect of Pressure on Arsenic Diffusion in Germanium: Evidence Against Simple Vacancy Mechanism
(Trans Tech Publications, 1997)We have measured the effect of pressure on As diffusion in Ge. Diffusion anneals on ion-implanted samples were carried out in a high temperature diamond anvil cell using fluid argon as a clean, hydrostatic pressure medium. ... -
Effect of Pressure on Boron Diffusion in Silicon
(Materials Research Society, 1997)We are studying the effect of pressure on boron diffusion in silicon in order to better understand the nature of the point defects responsible for diffusion. Si homoepitaxial layers delta-doped with boron were grown using ... -
The Effect of Projection on Derived Mass-Size and Linewidth-Size Relationships
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)Power-law mass-size and linewidth-size correlations, two of "Larson's laws," are often studied to assess the dynamical state of clumps within molecular clouds. Using the result of a hydrodynamic simulation of a molecular ... -
The Effect of Providing Peer Information on Retirement Savings Decisions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Using a field experiment in a 401(k) plan, we measure the effect of disseminating information about peer behavior on savings. Low-saving employees received simplified plan enrollment or contribution increase forms. A ... -
Effect of quasiresonant dynamics on the predissociation of van der Waals molecules
(American Physical Society, 2001)Rotational and vibrational distributions of zero-temperature collisional rate coefficients for atom-diatom scattering are used together with effective range theory to obtain lifetimes for predissociation. High-order indirect ... -
Effect of rising Asian emissions on surface ozone in the United States
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999)The effect of increasing fossil fuel combustion in eastern Asia on surface O3 air pollution in the United States is examined with a global three-dimensional tropospheric chemistry model. Tripling of Asian anthropogenic ... -
Effect of Shock on the Magnetic Properties of Pyrrhotite, the Martian Crust, and Meteorites
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)We performed planar shock recovery experiments on natural pyrrhotite at pressures up to 6.9 GPa. We find that high-field isothermal remanent magnetization in pyrrhotite is demagnetized up to 90% by shock due to preferential ... -
Effect of Silane Coupling Agent Chemistry on Electrical Breakdown across Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Insulating Films
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Dielectric breakdown measurements were conducted on self-assembled monolayer (SAM)/native silicon oxide hybrid dielectrics using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). By depositing silane coupling agents (SCAs) through ... -
Effect of Streaming Motion of Baryons Relative to Dark Matter on the Formation of the First Stars
