Inflating and deflating the self: Sustaining motivational concerns through self-evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-03-01)The ways in which individuals think and feel about themselves play a significant role in guiding behavior across many domains in life. The current studies investigate how individuals may shift the positivity of self-evaluations ... -
Influence of Conjunctival Folds on Calculated Tear Meniscus Volume Along the Lower Eyelid
(Elsevier, 2016-05-03)Purpose: In calculating tear meniscus volume (TMV), tear meniscus height (TMH), radius (TMR) and cross-sectional area (TMA) are usually measured at the center of the lower lid margin, but lid-parallel conjunctival folds ... -
Influence of drilling and abrasive water jet induced damage on the performance of carbon fabric/epoxy plates with holes
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)The influence of conventional drilling (CD) and abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting on the fatigue performance of carbon fabric/epoxy plates was investigated. Observations of machined hole regions revealed more severe damage ... -
Influence of dual-tasking with different levels of attention diversion on characteristics of the movement-related cortical potential
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)Dual tasking is defined as performing two tasks concurrently and has been shown to have a significant effect on attention directed to the performance of the main task. In this study, an attention diversion task with two ... -
Influence of dynamic river stage on the vulnerability of water wells and structure foundations in cold regions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Groundwater is important for people in Northern Canada, yet the groundwater protection protocols and water well vulnerability assessments designed for other warmer regions of Canada may not be applicable to communities in ... -
Influence of front-of-package nutrition labels on beverage healthiness perceptions: Results from a randomized experiment
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)The current study explored the influence of three summary indicator front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labels on consumer perceptions of the healthiness of different beverage products. In 2016, a total of 675 respondents in ... -
The influence of increased passive stiffness of the trunk and hips on balance control during reactive stepping
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Background Age-related changes, which include increased trunk and hip stiffness, negatively influence postural balance. While previous studies suggest no net-effect of trunk and hip stiffness on initial trip-recovery ... -
The Influence of Mitigation on Sage-Grouse Habitat Selection within an Energy Development Field
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Growing global energy demands ensure the continued growth of energy development. Energy development in wildlife areas can significantly impact wildlife populations. Efforts to mitigate development impacts to wildlife are ... -
Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, ... -
The influence of peat volume change and vegetation on the hydrology of a kettle-hole wetland in Southern Ontario, Canada
(International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2007-12)Links between local hydrology and vegetation type exist in wetlands, yet it is unclear what role peat volume change plays in these interactions. We measured peat volume change and hydraulic conductivity (Kfield) at three ... -
The influence of social behaviour on competition between virulent pathogen strains
(Elsevier, 2018-10-14)Infectious disease interventions like contact precautions and vaccination have proven effective in disease control and elimination. The priority given to interventions can depend strongly on how virulent the pathogen is, ... -
The Influence Of Social Norms On The Dynamics Of Vaccinating Behaviour For Paediatric Infectious Diseases
(Royal Society, The, 2014-04-07)Mathematical models that couple disease dynamics and vaccinating behaviour often assume that the incentive to vaccinate disappears if disease prevalence is zero. Hence, they predict that vaccine refusal should be the rule, ... -
Influence of subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle thickness on rectus femurs echo intensity in younger and older males and females
(Wiley, 2022-09)Objectives—Ultrasound measurements of muscle echo intensity are commonly used surrogates of muscle composition (eg, intramuscular adipose tissue). However, given that soundwaves are increasingly attenuated with tissue ... -
Influence of the chest compression measurement method on assessment of restraint performance in side-impact crash scenarios
(Elsevier, 2018-06-25)Side impact crashes contribute a significant number of fatal injuries (25% of road fatalities in the USA in 2016), with severe thoracic injuries diagnosed in 58% of front near-side impact occupants. Epidemiological data ... -
