Metabolic Disease in Subadult Skeletal Remains from Late Ottoman-Era Tell Hisban, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-25)
The site of Tell Hisban in Jordan was seasonally occupied by nomadic agropastoral tribes for over a thousand years. In the latter half of the 1800s, the Ottoman Empire instituted the Tanzimat, a series of reforms intended ...
NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPING FOR POLLINATORS ON EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SOLAR FARMS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Solar panel farms (SPFs) may be a part of a sustainable solution to pollinator decline and the loss of ecosystem services they provide. Some SPFs are seeking to landscape with diverse native seed mixes, which has the ...
Computational Investigation of Calcium Binding Proteins Annexin A1 and Cardiac Troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Calcium binding proteins are vital for many biological functions. Many undergo calcium induced conformation changes through sensing motifs, resulting in functional changes for the proteins. In this study computational ...
Impact of Inductive and Deductive Teaching Strategies in Art Classes
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Abstract: The purpose of this small teacher action research study was to determine if incorporating an inductive teaching strategy (concept attainment) into the teaching of art concepts affects student performance on depth ...
THE EFFECT OF AMP DEAMINASE 3 DEFICIENCY ON POST-MYOCARDIAL INFARCT FUNCTIONAL AND HISTOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN MICE
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-17)
PURPOSE: Humans deficient in the metabolic enzyme AMP deaminase 3 have improved survival and clinical outcomes in cases of revascularization, myocardial infarction, and/or heart failure. Because of the nature of this ...
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ...
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Deficiency Promotes a T Lymphocyte Response in a Murine Model of Chronic Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-03)
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Previous studies from our lab have shown a deficiency of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR[gamma]) ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Classical Maize Mutant, Polytypic1
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Polytypic1 (Pt1) is a semi-dominant mutant in maize that affects inflorescence development. To understand how Pt1 functions in development, I examined the phenotype of Pt1 mutants in multiple inbred backgrounds. Pt1 defects ...
Rubble Along the Road: Determining the Function and Date of Occupation for a Structure on Orton Plantation
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)
There is little known about the daily lives of the enslaved and tenant farming African Americans who lived in the Lower Cape Fear region of North Carolina during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Even on the larger ...
Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First English Colonies, 1550-1600
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)
This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this ...
