(1998)
The 1997 Flotilla Project investigated several different areas in the Patuxent River drainage. These include St. Leonard’s Creek where three different sites were inspected to the upper Patuxent in the vicinity of Hill ...
ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF BENZO[A]PYRENE METABOLITE DNA DAMAGE : IMPLICATIONS OF NUCLEOBASE SEQUENCE AND ADDUCT STEREOCHEMISTRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Xenobiotics are chemical compounds introduced to living organisms that originate outside the body. A well-studied xenobiotic is benzo[a]pyrene (BP), a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) primarily introduced into the body via ...
Processing of bistranded abasic DNA clusters in γ-irradiated human hematopoietic cells
(East Carolina University, 2004)
Clustered DNA damages—two or more lesions on opposing strands and within one or two helical turns—are formed in cells by ionizing radiation or radiomimetic antitumordrugs. They are hypothesized to be difficult to repair, ...

(East Carolina University, 2014)
Incest is a widespread theme in literature that continues to grow in frequency (Barnes 3). It is rarely addressed amongst scholars due to being a taboo topic, but in this thesis I aim to address it and analyze it thoroughly ...
DOES THE QUANTITY OF RESOURCES IN THE ENVIRONMENT ALTER THE IMPACT OF MULTIPLE PREDATORS ON THEIR PREY?
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Predation is an important biological process affecting prey populations and most prey in nature are exposed to multiple predator species. Much research has revealed that the combined effect of multiple predators on their ...
Evolution of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain
(East Carolina University, 2002-04-30)
In recent years a great deal of biochemical and genetic research has focused on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit (RPB1) of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II. This strongly conserved domain of tandemly ...
A 19th CENTURY FISHING SCHOONER IN THE 21st CENTURY : PRESERVING VIRGINIA FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Virginia is a mid-19th century, southern-built schooner owned by the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, Georgia. The ship's career throughout the Gulf of Mexico spanned more than 140 years, first as an oyster ...
CAN NUTRIENT ADDITIONS MEDIATE GAPE LIMITED PREDATION IN LARVAL RANA SPHENOCEPHALA?
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Some predators are limited in the size prey item that they can catch and consume, and this is referred to as "gape limited". Prey found with these predators may have the ability to respond by growing rapidly to reach a ...
Cardiac and Mitochondrial Adaptations in Response to Aging and Doxorubicin in Rats Bred for Divergent Aerobic Capacities
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Doxorubicin (DOX) remains as one of the most widely prescribed and effective anticancer agents. A major limitation of the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug is the occurrence of irreversible, progressive, dose-dependent ...
