Consequences of Reduced Versican Expression in Embryonic Chick Synovial Joint Development
(East Carolina University, 2012)The different mechanisms involved in vertebrate synovial joint development are actively being uncovered. A variety of studies have thus far discovered the involvement of several large molecules in the processes of joint ... -
CONSEQUENCES OF SALINIZATION ON CARBON AND NUTRIENT RELEASE FROM A RESTORED COASTAL FORESTED WETLAND
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)Given that wetlands provide important ecosystem services, such as improving water quality and protecting inland regions from storms, it is necessary to understand how sea level rise and climate change will alter their ... -
Conservation and Expression of SNF2 Proteins in Chondrus crispus
(2014)The SNF2 families of ATP-dependent helicases are the central catalytic subunits for chromatin remodeling complexes. The most widely studied is the multisubunit SWI/SNF complex, which has been found in plants, yeast, and ... -
Conservation and Immunogenomics of the Endangered White-winged Duck
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)White-winged Wood Ducks (WWD) are an endangered species native to southeast Asia. Efforts to conserve the species via captive breeding have been hindered because captive populations appear to be highly susceptible to avian ... -
Conservation of Archaeological Wood using Non-Reducing sugars
(2015)In the conservation field there are many different thoughts on the best way to conserve waterlogged archaeological wood. The current method uses polyethylene glycol(PEG), a hydrophilic organic compound, to replace water ... -
Conservation of the regulated structure of folded myosin 2 in species separated by at least 600 million years of independent evolution
(East Carolina University, 2008-04-22)The myosin 2 family of molecular motors includes isoforms regulated in different ways. Vertebrate smooth-muscle myosin is activated by phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain, whereas scallop striated adductor-muscle ... -
Considerations for incorporating implementation science into dietetics education
(2022-12-05)We define implementation Science (IS) and provide tangible tools to document and report implementation of evidence-based strategies in dietetics classrooms and programs. We describe examples of moving evidence-based nutrition ... -
Considering Health Literacy Levels When Promoting Lifestyle Modification for Blood Pressure Control
(2017-04-26)Background: Despite the advancements in healthcare, hypertension remains one of the most prevalent diseases in Eastern North Carolina and affects every third adult. This increased incidence could possibly be exacerbated ... -
Considering the Oxygen Effect : Further Development of a Volumetric Model of Tumor Response to Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2014)Mathematical modeling of tumor response to radiation therapy (RT) has great potential for designing therapy plans that are more personalized, more adaptive, and more reliable for outcome predictions. A preexisting model ... -
Conspecific brood parasitism in the tropics: An experimental investigation of host responses in common moorhens and American purple gallinules
(2011-08-03)Species occupying a broad latitudinal range may show greater phenotypic plasticity in behavior than species with smaller ranges or more specific habitat requirements. This study investigates for the first time the occurrence ... -

(2011-11)Species occupying a broad latitudinal range may show greater phenotypic plasticity in behavior than species with smaller ranges or more specific habitat requirements. This study investigates for the first time the occurrence ... -
Conspecific pollen precedence and its contribution to speciation in Triodanis perfoliata
(2015)Speciation is the process by which one species diverges into two distinct species. To fully understand speciation, it is important to understand reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation, the inability of two individuals ... -
Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(East Carolina University, 2012)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ... -
Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2015-03-25)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently ... -

Constellating Identities and Workplace Genres in Writing Center Discourse
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)This study investigates the ways in which blank, written workplace genres mediate relationships and identities in the writing center. Forms developed for scheduling and recordkeeping are part of everyday practices that ... -
Constraints on Incremental Assembly of Upper Crustal Igneous Intrusions, Mount Ellen, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2021-12-08)Magma systems within the shallow crust drive volcanic processes at the surface. Studying active magma systems directly poses significant difficulty but details of ancient magma systems can provide insight to modern systems. ...
