Multi-spectral physiologic visualization (MSPV) using laser imaging methods and systems for blood flow and perfusion imaging and quantification in an endoscopic design
(2017-08-28)Multispectral imaging systems are provided including a first light source having a first wavelength configured to image a sample; a second light source, different from the first light source, having a second wavelength, ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
(2011)Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
(2011-08-18)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental impacts of ... -
Multi-wavelength beam splitting systems for simultaneous imaging of a distant object in two or more spectral channels using a single camera
(2016-09-29)An optical imaging system and related methods are provided that acquire images of an object at a distance in different spectral regions using only one camera. The systems and methods are adaptable to applications where ... -
Multicenter Trial of Sentinel Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer Using Both Technetium Sulfur Colloid and Isosulfan Blue Dye
(East Carolina University, 2001-01)Objective To determine the factors associated with false-negative results on sentinel node biopsy and sentinel node localization (identification rate) in patients with breast cancer enrolled in a multicenter ... -
Multicomponent intervention to reduce daily sedentary time: A randomised controlled trial
(2013-08-20)Objectives To test the efficacy of a multicomponent technology intervention for reducing daily sedentary time and improving cardiometabolic disease risk among sedentary, overweight university employees. Design Blinded, ... -
A Multicomponent System Is Required for Tetracycline-Induced Excision of Tn4555
(East Carolina University, 2004-01)Bacteroides spp. are the predominant organisms in the intestinal tract, and they also are important opportunistic pathogens. Antibiotic therapy of Bacteroides infections often is complicated by the prevalence of drug-resistant ... -
Multiculturalism as an Alternative to Nihilism in Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother and Sam Selvon's The Lonely Londoners
(East Carolina University, 2013)This thesis analyzes how internal oppression, or nihilism, has emerged amongst many of the Caricom community. It focuses on the history of colonialism and the psychological destruction it has left across the Caribbean. ... -
Multidimensional Conceptualization and Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease: Impact of Fatigue on Quality of Life
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Fatigue is a problematic symptom that has only recently gained attention in the literature for pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD). Research has established that fatigue is prevalent, persistent, and impairing, though much ... -
Multifaceted roles of GSK-3 and Wnt/β-catenin in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis: opportunities for therapeutic intervention
(2014-01)Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is well documented to participate in a complex array of critical cellular processes. It was initially identified in rat skeletal muscle as a serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylated ... -
Multifunctional experimental assessment in a newly established Mediterranean restored marsh : marsh elevation, carbon accumulation and pollutant concentration reduction
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Delta of the Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain) is among the most important marsh areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea, highly valuable both economically and ecologically. Fluvial sediment reduction by dams in a relative ... -
The Multifunctional Protein BAG3: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Cardiovascular Disease
(2018-02-26)The B-cell lymphoma 2–associated anthanogene (BAG3) protein is expressed most prominently in the heart, the skeletal muscle, and in many forms of cancer. In the heart, it serves as a co-chaperone with heat shock proteins ... -
Multihazard hurricane fragility model for wood structure homes considering hazard parameters and building attributes interaction.
(2020-09-22)Predicting building damage as a function of hurricane hazards, building attributes, and the interaction between hazard and building attributes is a key to understanding how significant interaction reflects variation hazard ... -
