Analysis of a 41-year data set : Environmental influences on the fish assemblages of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
North Carolina both historically and currently maintains one of the most productive fishery resource basins in the nation. However, fish stocks are spatially and temporally variable in abundance and distribution in estuarine ...
Using student motivation to design groups in a non-majors biology course for team-based collaborative learning : Impacts on knowledge, views, attitudes, and perceptions
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The importance of student motivation and its connection to other learning variables (i.e., attitudes, knowledge, persistence, attendance) is well established. Collaborative work at the undergraduate level has been recognized ...
Physiological Studies of Alkaliphilic Anaerobic Organotrophs in a Serpentinizing Subsurface Habitat
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Microbial habitats in serpentinizing ultramafic rocks represent one of the largest, yet least understood portions of the biosphere, with potentially major consequences for global biogeochemical cycles. Serpentinization is ...
The Role of Transcription Factors Snail and Slug in Cardiac Myofibroblasts
(East Carolina University, 2014)
CCardiac fibrosis is a major facet contributing to cardiac dysfunction following a myocardial infarction. Persistent and excessive collagen deposition via cardiac myofibroblasts is the hallmark of cardiac fibrosis. Cardiac ...
Physiological and Phylogenetic Studies of the Biogeography of Alkaliphilic Heterotrophic Bacteria from Serpentinizing Habitats
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Serpentinization occurs when ultramafic rocks containing the mineral olivine react with water to produce highly reducing conditions, which are commonly coincident with high concentrations of hydrogen. Hydrogen provides ...
