thesis statement

Hello,

I would like to know if it is ok to use the word "upon" in a thesis statemen due that I have always seen "effect on" instead. i.e.

LINEAR SHRINKAGE EFFECTS UPON A SANDY LOAM SAVANNA SOIL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
LINEAR SHRINKAGE EFFECTS ON A SANDY LOAM SAVANNA SOIL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Which one is correct?

Thank you in advance

Hi!

I found this page, which is very complete:

difference between "on" and "upon"

I would vote for "ON": LINEAR SHRINKAGE EFFECTS ON A SANDY LOAM SAVANNA SOIL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
