The Effect that Structural and Investment Funds have on Voter Behaviour in European Parliamentary Elections
(Wiley, 2019-03-01)Structural and Investment Funds (SIFs) have become the European Union's most robust redistribution programme. In this article, we demonstrate that SIFs have grown large enough in scope that they are now beginning to function ... -
The Effectiveness of Test Coverage Criteria for Relational Database Schema Integrity Constraints
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-12-02)Despite industry advice to the contrary, there has been little work that has sought to test that a relational database's schema has correctly specified integrity constraints. These critically important constraints ensure ... -
Effects of corticosterone on infection and disease in salamanders exposed to the amphibian fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
(Inter-Research, 2017-03-06)Although it is well established that glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) alter immune function and disease resistance in humans and laboratory animal models, fewer studies have linked elevated GCs to altered immune function and ... -
Effects of Detrital Inputs and Roots on Carbon Saturation Deficit of a Temperate Forest Soil
(Soil Science Society of America, 2014-07-14)Soil C sequestration has been proposed as a tool for addressing climate change. However, models used to predict soil C sequestration do not account for C saturation and functional differences among soil C pools. In this ... -
Effects of drying regime on microbial colonization and shredder preference in seasonal woodland wetlands
(Blackwell, 2008-03)1. Energy budgets of wetlands in temperate deciduous forests are dominated by terrestrially derived leaf litter that decays under different drying conditions depending on autumn precipitation. We compared decay rates and ... -
Effects of larval energetic resources on life history and adult allocation patterns in a caddisfly (Trichoptera: Phryganeidae)
(The Royal Entomological Society, 2007-07-20)1. How populations respond to environmental change depends, in part, on the connection between environmental variance during early life stages and its effect on subsequent life-history traits. For example, environmental ... -
Effects of perfectionism and exercise on disordered eating in college students
(Elsevier, 2014-01-01)Purpose This study examined two dimensions of perfectionism (Standards and Discrepancy), two aspects of exercise (cardiovascular and strength), and the interaction of these variables as predictors of disordered eating ... -
Effects of sediment nutrients and depth on small-scale spatial heterogeneity of submersed macrophyte communities...
(NRC Canada, 2004-10)Sediment concentrations of total and available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and organic matter from the littoral zone of Lake Pleasant, Pennsylvania, were highly variable. Only organic matter and total ... -
Effects of Tannins on Leaf Processing and Conditioning Rates in Aquatic Ecosystems: An Empirical Approach
(NRC Research Press, 1993)Tannin concentrations were determined in the autumn-shed leaves of 48 species of deciduous trees. Chemical measures of tannins (total phenolics and condensed tannins) were significantly correlated with protein-precipitating ... -
Effects of using multiple hands and fingers on haptic performance in individuals who are blind
(Pion, 2014-06-03)In a previous paper we documented that sighted participants complete haptic tasks faster with two hands and multiple fingers, but that these benefits are task specific. The present study investigates whether these effects ... -
An efficient radiative cooling approximation for use in hydrodynamic simulations
(Oxford University Press, 2015-02-11)To make relevant predictions about observable emission, hydrodynamical simulation codes must employ schemes that account for radiative losses, but the large dimensionality of accurate radiative transfer schemes is often ... -
Elected Officials, Empowered Voters: The Impact of Descriptive Representation on Voter Turnout
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2022-09-23)How does descriptive representation affect the voter turnout of African Americans? Though theories state that electing officials who belong to a minority group should lead to greater participation among that group's members ... -
The Emergence of Undergraduate Majors in Global Health: Systematic Review of Programs and Recommendations for Future Directions
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017-01-11)Global health education has been expanding rapidly and several universities have created an undergraduate major degree (bachelor's degree) in global heath or global health studies. Because there are currently no national ... -
Emergency Department Admissions for Dental & Oral Health Concerns in Rural Northwestern Pennsylvania
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-03-31)Background: Oral health emergency department (ED) visits are increasing nationally. This increase in ED admissions is an indicator that preventative dental and oral healthcare practices are not being utilized. Methods: ... -
Empirically evaluating flaky test detection techniques combining test case rerunning and machine learning models
(Springer, 2023-04-28)A flaky test is a test case whose outcome changes without modification to the code of the test case or the program under test. These tests disrupt continuous integration, cause a loss of developer productivity, and limit ... -
Empirically evaluating Greedy-based test suite reduction methods at different levels of test suite complexity.
(Elsevier, 2017-05-24)Test suite reduction is an important approach that decreases the cost of regression testing. A test suite reduction technique operates based on the relationship between the test cases in the regression test suite and the ... -
Energy challenges: isolating results due to behavior change
(Emerald Publishing, 2016-03-01)Purpose – Approximately 700 colleges and universities have committed to climate neutrality, which will require significant reductions in energy consumption. This paper aims to explore the effectiveness of an Annual Energy ... -

Entrepreneurial Errors in a Kaleidic Democracy
(ASSOC PRIVATE ENTERPRISE EDUCATION, 2018-06)Economic activity is a stream of interconnected experiments, where some are bound to fail. Such failures are costly and policy makers might aspire to mitigate them, particularly during economic crises. The mitigation can ...
