Oceanic loading of wildfire-derived organic compounds from a small mountainous river
(2008)
Small mountainous rivers (SMRs) export substantial amounts of sediment into the world's oceans. The concomitant yield of organic carbon (OC) associated with this class of rivers has also been shown to be significant and ...
The moderating effects of religiosity on the relationship between stressful life events and delinquent behavior
(East Carolina University, 2008)
Previous research has shown that many forms of strain are positively related to delinquency. Evidence also suggests that religiosity buffers the effects of strain on offending, but this issue requires further research. ...
Concerted gene recruitment in early plant evolution
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Background: Horizontal gene transfer occurs frequently in prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. Anciently acquired genes, if retained among descendants, might significantly affect the long-term evolution of the recipient ...
The AraC-Like Transcriptional Regulator DhbR Is Required for Maximum Expression of the 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Brucella abortus 2308 in Response to Iron Deprivation
(East Carolina University, 2008-03)
Phenotypic evaluation of isogenic mutants derived from Brucella abortus 2308 indicates that the AlcR homolog DhbR (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid [2,3-DHBA] biosynthesis regulator) modulates the expression of the genes involved ...
A high marsh transfer function for sea-level reconstructions in the southern Bay of Biscay.

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 ...
Family Interactions Among African American Prostate Cancer Survivors
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Prostate cancer affects African Americans at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in the United States. Prostate cancer does not only affect the man with the disease but also affects those individuals who are closest ...
Social Capital and Health Care Experiences Among Low-Income Individuals
(East Carolina University, 2008-02)
Objectives. We examined relationships between social capital and health service measures among low-income individuals and assessed the psychometric properties of a theory-based measure of social capital. Methods. We conducted ...
Shoreline Change Within the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
Role of Dipicolinic Acid in the Germination, Stability, and Viability of Spores of Bacillus subtilis
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Spores of Bacillus subtilis spoVF strains that cannot synthesize dipicolinic acid (DPA) but take it up during sporulation were prepared in medium with various DPA concentrations, and the germination and viability of these ...
