The effectiveness of the Foodbot Factory serious game on increasing nutrition knowledge in children
(2021-02-12)Background: The interactive nature of serious games (i.e., video games designed for educational purposes) enable deeper learning and facilitate behavior change; however, there is limited data on their impact on child ... -
The Effects of 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) and Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin (HPβCD) on the heart rate and metabolism of Embryonic Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2019-04-01)Estrogen toxicity has been an area of priority in aquatic toxicology over the last 20 years. The toxicity of a known estrogen mimic, 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), has been attributed to classical estrogen signaling within ... -
The effects of a visco-elastic polymer glove on hand-arm vibration, muscle activity, and comfort during simulated power tool use
(2017-07-01)Prolonged exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) as a result of power tools can lead to hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). The effectiveness of anti-vibration (AV) gloves for the reduction of hand arm vibration ... -
Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
(2015-06-01)Neck muscles have a high density of muscle spindle afferents and their input is critical for formulating the perception of head position relative to the body. Chronic alterations in afferent input from the neck may be ... -
The effects of anaerobic swim ergometer training on sprint performance in adolescent swimmers
(2020-04-01)The effects of anaerobic training using a swim ergometer on sprint swimming performance have not been investigated in competitive adolescent swimmers. The purpose of this study was to compare 4-weeks of sprint interval ... -
Effects of blade configuration on flow distribution and power output of a zephyr vertical axis wind turbine.
(2008-07-01)Worldwide interest in renewable energy systems has increased dramatically, due to environmental concerns like climate change and other factors. Wind power is a major source of sustainable energy, and can be harvested using ... -
Effects of chronic exposure to ibuprofen and naproxen on Florida flagfish (Jordanella floridae) over one complete life-cycle
(2011-08-01)Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of drugs prescribed to relieve pain, fever and inflammation, and are among the most commonly consumed medications in Ontario. Approximately 70% of the ingested dose ... -
Effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercise on quality of life and fitness of individuals who are post cancer treatment: A pilot study
(2013-07-01)Cancer Survivors are defined as any individual who has been diagnosed with cancer and completed treatment, who may or may not be free of the disease (Speck et al., 2010). Cancer survivors can experience numerous, debilitating ... -
Effects of dietary fermentable material on innate and adaptive immune measures in male and female rats under resting and immunized conditions
(2015-02-01)Sex-based differences in immune parameters are well recognized, and recent evidence suggests differences in microbiota composition between sexes, necessitating assessment of effects of dietary fermentable material (DFM) ... -
Effects of endosulfan on human MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(2011-08-01)Organochlorine pesticides (OCs) are environmental toxicants with important links to human health. They have been found to activate signalling pathways within cells and thereby affect cell survival and proliferation. Receptor ... -
The effects of forward head posture on sensorimotor integration and neck and shoulder proprioception
(2019-12-01)Forward head posture (FHP) is commonly seen in today’s society as a result of excess technology use. The central nervous system uses the position of the head with respect to the neck when interpreting the location of the ... -
