I Might Be Wrong ; and, As If It Was Made of Glass
(East Carolina University, 2012)These two stories of exceptional length feature narrators whose idiosyncratic moral dilemmas are indicative of larger social ills. Instead of the traditional epiphany so prevalent in 20th Century short stories, the characters ... -
Idempotents in Cyclic Codes
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cyclic codes give us the most probable method by which we may detect and correct data transmission errors. These codes depend on the development of advanced mathematical concepts. It is shown that cyclic codes, when viewed ... -
Identification and mapping of two divergent, unlinked major histocompatibility complex class II B genes in Xiphophorus fishes.
(East Carolina University, 1998-08)We have isolated two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B genes from the inbred fish strain Xiphophorus maculatus Jp 163 A. We mapped one of these genes, designated here as DXB, to linkage group III, linked ... -
Identification of a Potential RNAzyme in Brucella abortus with Heme-Dependent Peroxidase Activity
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)Bovine brucellosis is of significant concern to the U.S. cattle industry and has not been controlled by vaccination in some areas of the world. The inability to control this pathogen is currently a serious public health ... -
Identification of Damaged DNA Adducts from Exposure to Benzo[a]pyrene in the TP53 Gene
(2015)Benzo[a]pyrene is a carcinogen associated with tobacco smoke that can damage DNA after it is metabolized into highly reactive forms. Identifying the resulting DNA adducts can give greater insight into the mutations that ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF GEOCHEMICAL TRACERS WITHIN BIOMINERALS OF JUVENILE AND LARVAL MERCENARIA MERCENARIA : IMPLICATIONS FOR MODELING LARVAL DISPERSAL
(East Carolina University, 2013)This study was designed to investigate the application of geochemical signals within biominerals to identify site fidelity and natal origin of the commercially valuable bivalve Mercenaria mercenaria. My first study ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL CYTOTOXIC PROSTAGLANDIN METABOLITES PRODUCED IN ARACHIDONOYL ETHANOLAMIDE-TREATED TUMOREGENIC KERATINOCYTES
(East Carolina University, 2012)Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) induces apoptosis in mouse tumorigenic keratinocytes (JWF-2 cells). Our previous data show that AEA is metabolized by COX-2 to pro-apoptotic J-series prostaglandins. COX-2 is an enzyme that ... -
Identification of the Cu(II) Coordinating Residues in the Prion Protein by Metal-Catalyzed Oxidation Mass Spectrometry: Evidence for Multiple Isomers at Low Cu(II) Loadings
(East Carolina University, 2008-09-02)While the Cu(II) binding sites of the prion protein have been well studied under Cu-saturation conditions, the identity of the residues involved in coordinating Cu(II) at low stoichiometries and the order in which the ... -
Identification, Characterization, and Abiotic Stress Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2010)microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with short sequences that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional levels by either binding to mRNAs for degradation, or by inhibiting protein translation. ... -
Identification, characterization, and gene expression analysis of nucleotide binding site (NB)-type resistance gene homologues in switchgrass
(2016-11-08)Abstract Background Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season perennial grass that can be used as a second generation bioenergy crop. However, foliar fungal ... -
Identification, classification, and partial characterization of genes in humans and other vertebrates homologous to a fish membrane progestin receptor
(East Carolina University, 2003-03-04)Recently we discovered a previously uncharacterized gene with the characteristics of a membrane progestin receptor (mPR) in a fish model, spotted seatrout. Here, we report the identification, cloning, and characteristics ... -
Identifying compensatory genomic changes due to nickel (Ni2+) exposure: electrochemistry and quantifying DNA damage
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-24)Nickel is a toxic heavy metal that has been shown to cause adverse healthconditions in organisms. DNA damage has been observed in nematodes in response to nickel exposure. Nematodes originating from environments with high ... -
IDENTIFYING SUBJECTIVE VALUE IN WOMEN’S COLLEGE GOLF RECRUITING REGARDLESS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC CLASS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)College athletics have grown into a major industry and athletic departments are pushing coaches to recruit the top talent. To recruit golfers, college coaches depend on multiple ranking systems. These systems are bias ...
