Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ... -
Effect of elevated systemic concentrations of ammonia and urea on the metabolite and ionic composition of oviductal fluid in cattle1
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2002-06-01)High dietary protein leads to elevated systemic concentrations of ammonia and urea, and these, in turn, have been associated with reduced fertility in cattle. The effect of elevating systemic concentrations of ammonia and ... -
Effect of exercising at minimum recommendations of the multiple sclerosis exercise guideline combined with structured education or attention control education – secondary results of the step it up randomised controlled trial
(Springer Nature, 2017-06-24)Background: Recent exercise guidelines for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) recommend a minimum of 30 min moderate intensity aerobic exercise and resistance exercise twice per week. This trial compared the secondary ... -
The effect of external contextual factors on the choice and usage of methods in Web development projects
(2009)The decision of which Web development method to choose, and how that method is enacted for a particular project, is subject to the influence of a number of factors. This paper looks specifically at ... -
Effect of fast pyrolysis conditions on biomass solid residues at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2015-12-03)Fast pyrolysis of wood and straw was conducted in a drop tube furnace (DTF) and compared with corresponding data from a wire mesh reactor (WMR) to study the influence of temperature (1000–1400)°C, biomass origin (pinewood, ... -
The effect of feedstock origin and temperature on the structure and reactivity of char from pyrolysis at 1300 2800 °C
(Elsevier, 2018-07-31)This study reports the effect of feedstock origin, residence time, and heat treatment temperature on CO2 and O2 reactivities, nanostructure and carbon chemistry of chars prepared at 1300, 1600, 2400, and 2800 °C in a slow ... -
The effect of ferrite phases on the micromechanical response and crack initiation in the intercritical heat-affected zone of a welded 9Cr martensitic steel
(Wiley, 2018-02-08)This paper presents a crystal plasticity model to predict the tensile response and crack initiation in a mixed ferrite-martensite material with a low volume fraction of pro-eutectoid ferrite, representative of a welding-induced ... -
Effect of glucagon on hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase in vivo

Effect of glycaemic excursions on QT interval in diabetes patients
(NUI Galway, 2023-09-19)Glucose excursions in Diabetes Mellitus patients are associated with increased risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality (Kaul, Tarr, Ahmad, Kohner, & Chibber, 2013). With the evidence from several clinical trials, it ... -
The effect of grain orientation on fretting fatigue plasticity and life prediction
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014)A study on crystal and J2J2 plasticity prediction of fretting fatigue is presented, using a microstructure-sensitive fatigue parameter for crystal plasticity crack nucleation and a critical-plane (multiaxial) fatigue ... -
Effect of helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide (lps) and lps derivatives on the production of tissue factor and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 by human blood mononuclear cells
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1996-12-01)Different Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and LPS-derivatives were studied for their ability to induce the production of procoagulant activity (PCA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) by human ... -
Effect of high-temperature corrosion on the service life of P91 piping in biomass co-firing
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016-02-24)Co-firing biomass with traditional fuels is becoming increasingly relevant to thermal power plant operators due to increasingly stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. It has been found that when biomass is ... -
