A Different Kind of Fellowship: Joyner Library's SPA Fellowship Program
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)A look at the origins and development of Joyner Library's SPA Fellowship program, which is designed to provide Joyner paraprofessional employees with the opportunity to gain professional librarian experience. -
Differential aging-related changes of D1, D2, and D3 dopamine receptor expression in the striatum
(2013-05-03)Aging is associated with a decrease in motor function and a concomitant increase in muscle stiffness and tone. The striatum plays a critical role in the control of motor function, and it receives strong dopamine (DA) ... -
Differential Dopamine D1 and D3 Receptor Modulation and Expression in the Spinal Cord of Two Mouse Models of Restless Legs Syndrome
(2018-09-04)Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is often and successfully treated with dopamine receptor agonists that target the inhibitory D3 receptor subtype, however there is no clinical evidence of a D3 receptor dysfunction in RLS ... -
Differential expression of microRNAs during fiber development between fuzzless- lintless mutant and its wild-type allotetraploid cotton
(2017-01-31)Cotton is one of the most important textile crops but little is known how microRNAs regulate cotton fiber development. Using a well-studied cotton fiberless mutant Xu-142-fl, we compared 54 miRNAs for their expression ... -
The Differential Framing Measure for Procrastination : An Implicit Measure of Procrastination Cognitions
(East Carolina University, 2013)The present study attempted to create a scale for measuring the implicit cognitions related to procrastination. Items for the measure were created from a set of cognitive rationalizations derived from existing procrastination ... -
Differential gene expression and alternative splicing in insect immune specificity
(2014-11)Background Ecological studies routinely show genotype-genotype interactions between insects and their parasites. The mechanisms behind these interactions are not clearly understood. Using the bumblebee Bombus terrestris ... -
Differential gene expression and gene variants drive color and pattern development in divergent color morphs of a mimetic poison frog
(2019-07-21)Evolutionary biologists have long investigated the ecological contexts, evolutionary forces, and proximate mechanisms that produce the diversity of animal coloration we see in the natural world. In aposematic species, color ... -
DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION IN THE BRAINS OF BEGGING POISON FROG TADPOLES
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Parents often rely on offspring signals to adequately allocate resources to dependent offspring. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, has evolved elaborate parental care behaviors to raise their young. Their tadpoles ... -
Differential Post-Exercise Blood Pressure Responses between Blacks and Caucasians
(2016-04-13)Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is widely observed in Caucasians (CA) and is associated with histamine receptors 1- and 2- (H1R and H2R) mediated post-exercise vasodilation. However, it appears that blacks (BL) may not ... -
Differential regulation of the attachment of KSHV infected human B cells to ECM by KSHV encoded gB and cellular alpha-V integrins
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has two modes replication: latent and lytic replication. Reactivation from latency is dictated, in part, by the cell cycle. Herein, we have attempted to delineate the importance ... -
DIFFERENTIATION OF J-SERIES PROSTAGLANDINS AS PRO-APOPTOTIC PRODUCTS OF CANCER CELL METABOLISM
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-16)Cyclopentenone J-series prostaglandins and prostaglandin-ethanolamide conjugates have been shown to selectively induce endoplasmic reticulum stress-apoptosis in different cancer cell types. These lipids have been identified ... -
Differentiation-dependent Requirement of Tsix long non-coding RNA in Imprinted X-chromosome Inactivation
(2014-06)Imprinted X-inactivation is a paradigm of mammalian transgenerational epigenetic regulation resulting in silencing of genes on the paternally-inherited X-chromosome. The pre-programmed fate of the X-chromosomes is thought ... -
Diffusing an Innovation: Clinician Perceptions of Continuous Predictive Analytics Monitoring in Intensive Care
(2019-03-18)Background The purpose of this article is to describe neonatal intensive care unit clinician perceptions of a continuous predictive analytics technology and how those perceptions influenced clinician adoption. Adopting ... -
Diffusion and perfusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging for tumor volume definition in radiotherapy of brain tumors
(2016-09-21)Abstract Accurate target volume delineation is crucial for the radiotherapy of tumors. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information about brain tumors, and they ... -

(2016-09-21)Accurate target volume delineation is crucial for the radiotherapy of tumors. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional information about brain tumors, and they are able to detect tumor ... -
Digital Project as Community Outreach: a New Way of Approaching Metadata
(2021)Describes a Community Scanning Day event held by Joyner Library in March 2017, which was part of a larger project to document the relocated African American Sycamore Hill community in Greenville, North Carolina. -
Digitized Special Collections and Multiple User Groups
(East Carolina University, 2010)Many organizations have evolved since their early attempts to mount digital exhibits on the Web and are experimenting with ways to increase the scale of their digitized collections by utilizing archival finding aid description ... -
Digits Lost or Gained? Evidence for Pedal Evolution in the Dwarf Salamander Complex ( Plethodontidae)
(2012)Change in digit number, particularly digit loss, has occurred repeatedly over the evolutionary history of tetrapods. Although digit loss has been documented among distantly related species of salamanders, it is relatively ... -
