DETERMINATION OF BREATHING RESISTANCE ACROSS ACTIVATED CARBON FIBER RESPIRATOR CARTRIDGES USING SINUSOIDAL AIRFLOW
(East Carolina University, 2014)Activated carbon fibers are considered good alternative adsorbents in respirators because of their high adsorption capacities, light weight, and fabric form. In order to further assess such application, the pressure drop ... -
Determination of Legacy and Emerging Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Biological Media using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(East Carolina University, 2022-08-02)Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAS) are synthetic monomers used in a variety of manufacturing processes that have been shown to cause numerous adverse health outcomes. Newer PFAS compounds have been produced to curb their toxicity ... -

Determination of the Role of Tyrosine-319 on the Efficiency of Photoinduced Radical Pairs in Avian Cryptochrome Photoreceptor Proteins Related to Magnetoreception
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-17)Cryptochromes (CRYs) are flavin-containing blue light photoreceptors which are involved in circadian rhythms and magnetoreception. CRYs are structurally related to DNA photolyases. While photolyases use light-driven FAD ... -
A Determination Worthy of a Better Cause : Naval Action at the Battle of Roanoke Island 7 February 1862
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Battle of Roanoke Island, during the American Civil War, was one of the first major amphibious landing operations in U.S. military history. As the Union Army landed troops on the island, an accompanying Union Naval ... -
Determining Seasonal Corrosion Rates in Ferrous-Hulled Shipwrecks : A Case Study of the USS Huron
(East Carolina University, 2014)This is a study designed to examine if there are seasonal environmental factors that affect the corrosion rates of ferrous-hulled shipwrecks in an archaeological setting. The remains of USS Huron, a warship that sank off ... -
Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ... -
