Characterization of Residential Pesticide Use and Chemical Formulations through Self-Report and Household Inventory: The Northern California Childhood Leukemia Study
(2012-10)Background: Home and garden pesticide use has been linked to cancer and other health outcomes in numerous epidemiological studies. Exposure has generally been self-reported, so the assessment is potentially limited by ... -
Characterization of Site-Directed Mutants in the Cytochrome c-550 Protein of Photosystem II
(East Carolina University, 2010)Photosynthesis is the process by which cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants convert light energy to chemical energy via the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. Photosystem II is a multi-protein/pigment complex embedded in ... -
Characterization of Social Status-Dependent Neuromodulation in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)In zebrafish (Danio rerio), social interactions between adult males consist of a series of aggressive encounters that ultimately lead to the formation of stable hierarchies of either socially dominant or subordinate animals. ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF SOLID MODELS PRODUCED BY RAPID PROTOTYPING MACHINES
(2014)Parts produced by 3-D printers were tested to determine the mechanical properties and failure modes. Since 3-D printed parts are built up layer-by-layer, they do not have the same properties in all directions. In order ... -
Characterization of the avian GLUT1 glucose transporter: differential regulation of GLUT1 and GLUT3 in chicken embryo fibroblasts.
(East Carolina University, 1995-11)Vertebrate cells that are transformed by oncogenes such as v-src or are stimulated by mitogens have increased rates of glucose uptake. In rodent cels, the mechanisms whereby glucose transport is up-regulated are well ... -
Characterization of the Bone Marrow Microenvironment During the Development of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Metastases
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype that lacks expression of progesterone and estrogen receptors, and does not over-express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is not responsive to standard ... -
Characterization of the GINS subunit psf1 in Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2010)GINS (Go Ichi Ni San; 5,1,2,3 in Japanese) is a heterotetrameric protein complex known to be essential for the establishment of DNA replication forks and the progression of the replisome. The GINS complex is known to be ... -
Characterization of the glucose transport mechanism responsible for mechanical overload- and acute injury-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Skeletal muscle is a highly adaptable tissue. In response to stimuli such as resistance exercise training or trauma/injury, muscle glucose uptake is stimulated to fuel the energetic and biosynthetic demands of growth, ... -
