USING LASER CAPTURE MICRODISSECTION (LCM) TO EXAMINE MADS-BOX GENE EXPRESSION IN THE UPPER AND LOWER FLORAL MERISTEMS OF MAIZE
(East Carolina University, 2013)MADS-box transcription factors are important regulators of flower development in all flowering plants. In the grasses, flowers (called florets) are contained in spikelets. Maize spikelets contain two florets (the upper and ... -
Using LC/MS to Quantify Metabolites in Urine Samples Post Clinical Exposure to Benzoates in Beverages
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Evidence has suggested that benzoate consumption has the potential to cause weight loss prevention. Benzoate is conjugated with glycine in the mitochondrial matrix to form hippurate which is eliminated in urine. IRB approval ... -
Using Mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, as Bioindicators for the presence of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Greenville's Wastewater Effluent
(2014)Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are compounds that arise from an assortment of manufactured sources (plastics, pharmaceuticals, pulp mill waste), which have the potential to interrupt hormone pathways by mimicking ... -
USING NARRATIVE ANALYSIS AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE PATTERNS OF MEANING IN THE SERMON LANGUAGE OF WOMEN PREACHERS
(East Carolina University, 2010)Throughout Western history, women preachers have been marginalized. Even though women have filled the pews as members of the congregation, acted as Sunday school teachers, cooks, and members of the choir, in addition to ... -
Using plant-bivalve inter-specific facilitation to enhance coastal restoration
(East Carolina University, 2021-06-14)Salt marshes and oyster reefs are critical ecosystems which are being lost or degraded at an alarming pace around the world. Current restoration efforts are insufficient to compensate for past and current habitat degradation, ... -
USING SEDIMENT ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY TO INTERPRET LATE HOLOCENE BARRIER ISLAND AND ESTUARINE EVOLUTION, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)Deconvolving the relationship between meteorological and oceanographic phenomena and associated impacts to coastal systems is critical to understanding the future of coastal systems worldwide. North Carolina's barrier ... -
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 ... -
Using Vulnerability and Planning Data to Measure Resilience in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)Along the coast of North Carolina, development has put tremendous stress on already delicate natural systems. Consisting almost entirely of barrier islands, this region is highly dynamic and subject to a variety of acute ... -
Using Water Chemistry and Otolith Chemistry to Determine Strategic Habitat Areas for Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Albemarle Estuarine System of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important anadromous species that provides valuable ecological and economic benefits to North Carolina. Habitat degradation, alteration and destruction are ongoing, and agencies are ... -
The Utility of Digital Globe's WorldView-2 Satellite Data in Mapping Seagrass in North Carolina Estuaries
(East Carolina University, 2011)Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is a valuable natural resource in North Carolina estuaries. The State's Coastal Habitat Protection Plan (CHPP) has stated a need to monitor SAV coverage over time. Thus, the Albemarle-Pamlico ...
