EFFECTS OF A REVERSE OSMOSIS-WATER TREATMENT PLANT BRINY CONCENTRATE DISCHARGED INTO AN ESTUARY.
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plants (RO-WTPs) create potable water and a briny concentrate that must be disposed; often it is discharged into nearby surface waters. Currently, there is no published research to examine ...
Does history matter? : An experimental assessment of whether dragonfly colonization history affects insect biodiversity within ephemeral ponds
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Current interactions among species could have an important role in controlling biodiversity. Some studies, however, have shown that the particular time a species arrives at a site during the process of community assembly ...
Phylogenetics and Systematics of the Millipede genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae)
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae) belongs to an ancient millipede lineage that has persisted since the Miocene. The group displays a Holarctic distribution with species in the eastern Nearctic, ...
Impact of Hurricane Katrina (2005) on deltaic evolution and shelf organic carbon cycling
(2010)
Sediment cores from the continental shelf adjacent to the Mississippi River delta immediately after the passage of Hurricane Katrina were used to examine the magnitude, and implications for the carbon budget, of sediment ...
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. ...
Intron position in RNA polymerase genes and their relationship to eukaryotic phylogenies
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing amount of research devoted to the study of intron evolution and its relationship to eukaryotic phylogeny. Previous studies have shown that a large percentage of ...
Psf2, a member of the heterotetrameric GINS Complex, plays a role in cell cycle progression and maintenance of genomic integrity
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Multiple proteins are involved in the complete and accurate replication of the genome during S phase of the cell cycle. At the G1/S phase transition, the heterotetrameric GINS complex is recruited to the origin, and ...
Coyotes Sang the Braid Into Her Hair
(East Carolina University, 2010)
A chapbook length collection of lyric poetry that explores the myth-making process through the tension of opposites: the nature of the substantive (body) and the ephemeral (mind), the wild vs. the tame self, the rational ...
Can Passive Acoustics be Used to Estimate the Length of Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) within the Pamlico Estuary?
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Council (AFMFC) attributes the decline in the Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) stock to over-fishing practices. The majority of collected Atlantic croaker are small, young of ...
LOCALIZATION AND CHANGES OF NUCLEAR PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS IN ZEBRAFISH OOCYTES AND ADJACENT FOLLICULAR CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr) is one of the major mediators for progestin signaling during oocyte ovulation in vertebrates. However, any roles Pgr may play in oocyte growth, and especially in the final oocyte ...
