Wetland management strategies lead to tradeoffs in ecological structure and function
(2017-12)
Anthropogenic legacy effects often occur as a consequence of land use change or land management and can leave behind long-lasting changes to ecosystem structure and function. This legacy is described as a memory in the ...
A solution method determining the effect of spin upon gravitational effects in the surroundings of a black hole
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-12)
Using the theory of General Relativity and quasi-normal modes (QNMs) from the Teukolsky equation as a source of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from black holes provides information about black hole mass and spin. This ...
Method Development and Validation for the Rapid Detection of Organophosphates in Blood Plasma from Obese, Obese-Diabetic, and Lean Patients from Eastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-13)
The incidence of diabetes and rate of obesity is on the rise, along with the use of organophosphorus insecticides in the United States. Organophosphates (OP), a specific class of pesticide that is biodegradable and readily ...
A Paleodemographic Study of Mortality in 1st century BC/AD Petra, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)
The 1st century BC to 1st century AD population of Petra appears to have rarely suffered from infectious diseases based on the low frequency of pathological bone lesions in skeletons recovered from tombs on the site's North ...
A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Two gravity cores were collected from 43 km and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment ...
Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)
Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ...
A Petrologic and Diagenetic Study of the Onondaga Formation, New Jersey
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
A petrologic investigation of the Onondaga Formation in New Jersey has never been conducted, although similar studies have taken place in the surrounding states of New York and Pennsylvania. Thirteen sample sites from the ...
Effects of Urbanization on Stream-Riparian Zone Connection along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible ...
Sorption of Ibuprofen to Coastal Plain Soils
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
The transport and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has become an area of concern in the environmental science community. Due to advances in analytical technology, ...
The Effects of Social Status on Dopaminergic Regulation of Neural Circuit Activation and Behavior
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)
Social hierarchies can be observed within communities across many species and allow for proper allocation of resources. When forming social hierarchies, animals that display the most aggressive behaviors generally emerge ...
