Sweetpotatoes in a Globalizing World : The Effects of Globalization on North Carolina's Sweetpotato Industry
(East Carolina University, 2012)This study examines the form and effects of globalization on North Carolina's sweetpotato industry. A commodity chain analysis was conducted by constructing North Carolina's sweetpotato commodity chain (SPCC) through the ... -
Sylvia Townsend Warner's Modernist Ekphrasis And Synesthesia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)The presence of music and sound is crucially important in the writing of Sylvia Townsend Warner (1873-1978). A noticeably acoustic writer, music, and noise in general, are major tools Warner employed to convey the vacillation ... -
Symbolism in Messiaen's Oratorio : La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jesus-Christ
(East Carolina University, 2014)This thesis will focus on the unity of rich numeric symbolism, religious text, and historical context of La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ by Olivier Messiaen. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was known for ... -
SYMPHONY NO. 2 “SYMPHONY OF CHORALES” BY LUKAS FOSS: A STUDY IN COLLAGE AND MUSICAL BORROWING
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)In his second symphony, the Symphony of Chorales (1958), Foss seems to be struggling to merge two identities, his Stravinskian Neoclassicism and his improvisation-influenced experimentalism. The mature Foss is first able ... -
Synaptic Hyaluronan Synthesis and CD44-Mediated Signaling Coordinate Neural Circuit Development
(MDPI, 2021-09-28)The hyaluronan-based extracellular matrix is expressed throughout nervous system development and is well-known for the formation of perineuronal nets around inhibitory interneurons. Since perineuronal nets form postnatally, ... -
SYNAPTOPODIN-2 ISOFORM A AND D EXPRESSION IN HT-29 HUMAN COLON ADENOCARCINOMA CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2013)Synaptopodin-2 is a largely unfolded actin-binding protein that also possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. Synaptopodin-2 has other known binding partners such as filamin and [alpha]-actinin (Weins, et al. 2001 ... -
Synchronized Beta-Band Oscillations in a Model of the Globus Pallidus - Subthalamic Nucleus Network under External Input
(2016)Hypokinetic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are usually associated with the excessively strong oscillations and synchrony in the beta frequency band. The origin of this synchronized oscillatory dynamics is being debated. ... -
Synchronizing Automata and the Černý Conjecture
(East Carolina University, 2012)We provide a survey of research surrounding the Černý conjecture. This conjecture concerns finite-state automata that have the property of being "synchronizing." A synchronizing automaton is one for which there exists ... -
