Population Structure Of River Herring In Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, Inferred From Geometric Morphometrics And Otolith Shape Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and Blueback Herring Alosa aestivalis, collectively known as River herring, use tributaries of the Albemarle Sound, North Carolina as spawning and nursery habitats. Stocks of these anadromous ...
Examining Coastal Marsh Sedimentation In Northeastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Coastal marshes are critical environments that are ephemeral on geologic timescales. Understanding the dynamics that naturally maintain these systems is becoming increasingly important in the face of accelerated sea-level ...
Synthesis Of Non-Natural Fmoc-Protected Amino Acids To Provide Novel Fluorescent Anion Probes And Their Incorporation Into Synthetic Peptides
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR serves to control the gradient of chloride and bicarbonate ions across the cellular ...
Geometry and Construction History of the Copper Ridge Laccolith, Mount Ellen, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Copper Ridge laccolith is an asymmetric tongue-shaped intrusion located on the southeastern margin of Mount Ellen in the Henry Mountains, Utah. The late-Oligocene to early-Miocene igneous rocks have no syn- or ...
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ...
Proposed regulatory role of noncatalytic Adams in ectodomain shedding
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Members of the ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) protein family uniquely exhibit both proteolytic and adhesive properties. Specifically, ADAMs catalyze the conversion of cell-surface proteins to soluble, biologically ...
Runtime Monitoring On Hard Real-Time Operating Systems
(East Carolina University, 2015)
This thesis will compare and evaluate different approaches in integrating runtime monitors into processes running on a hard real-time operating system. The host system is a single board computer (SBC) with a VxWorks 653 ...
General And Device-Specific Quality Of Life In Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Patients : The Impact Of Shock And Sex
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable cardiac condition that weakens the heart and results in frequent and often life-threatening arrhythmias, requiring the placement of an ...
The Relation Between Child Behavior, School Engagement, And Perceived Barriers And Parent Involvement
(East Carolina University, 2015)
There are positive outcomes for children whose parents are involved in school. Factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), child externalizing behaviors, parent perceptions on school engagement, and perceived barriers can ...
The Effects Of Environmental Variation On Individual Variation
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Despite general consensus among ecologists that variation is ubiquitous and important in nature, ecological experiments have historically focused on changes in mean response assuming a constant environment and interchangeable ...
