(2015-04-29)
Objectives: Medical self-efficacy is defined as an individual’s belief in his or her ability to manage aspects of their disease and to lead to desired health outcomes (Edwards, Telfair, Cecil, and Lenoci, 2001). Prior ...
ASSESSMENT OF NICHE PARTITIONING IN CO-OCCURRING SILVERSIDES FROM THE ALBEMARLE AND PAMLICO SOUNDS OF NORTH CAROLINA
(2015-05-01)
The niche partitioning hypothesis predicts that two species cannot compete for the same limited resources and that one species should differentiate (genetically, morphologically or behaviorally), so that the two species ...
Conservation of Archaeological Wood using Non-Reducing sugars
(2015)
In the conservation field there are many different thoughts on the best way to conserve waterlogged archaeological wood. The current method uses polyethylene glycol(PEG), a hydrophilic organic compound, to replace water ...
Transport of terrestrially derived nutrients along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, Anvers Island
(East Carolina University, 2015)

A Critical Look at Campus Climate After Institutional Changes
(East Carolina University, 2015)
This study examines the impact of institutional changes on campus climate. Conditions continue to be problematic for LGBTQ students, faculty and staff on college and university campuses, so many institutions are taking ...
A Genetic Screen for Mcm10: Interactions Between Mcm10 and Deficiency Regions on the Third Chromosome of Drosophila Melanogaster
(2015)
Mis-regulation of the Mcm10 gene has been linked with multiple forms of cancer, including many forms of breast cancer (Thu, Y. 2014). Despite this, the role of Mcm10 in cancer is not yet fully known. One way to study a ...
