MicroRNA Expression Analysis in the Cellulosic Biofuel Crop Switchgrass () under Abiotic Stress
(2012)
Switchgrass has increasingly been recognized as a dedicated biofuel crop for its broad adaptation to marginal lands and high biomass. However, little is known about the basic biology and the regulatory mechanisms of gene ...
Genome Analysis of Planctomycetes Inhabiting Blades of the Red Alga
(2016-03)
Porphyra is a macrophytic red alga of the Bangiales that is important ecologically and economically. We describe the genomes of three bacteria in the phylum Planctomycetes (designated P1, P2 and P3) that were isolated from ...
Ordinal-Level Phylogenomics of the Arthropod Class Diplopoda (Millipedes) Based on an Analysis of 221 Nuclear Protein-Coding Loci Generated Using Next-Generation Sequence Analyses
(2013)
Background
The ancient and diverse, yet understudied arthropod class Diplopoda, the millipedes, has a muddled taxonomic history. Despite having a cosmopolitan distribution and a number of unique and interesting ...
Analyses of the oligopeptide transporter gene family in poplar and grape
(2011)
Background
Oligopeptide transporters (OPTs) are a group of membrane-localized proteins that have a broad range of substrate transport capabilities and that are thought to contribute to many biological processes. The OPT ...
Understanding Trauma Reactions in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Patients and Piloting a Brief Web-based Trauma Intervention Protocol Study (ICD-TIPS)
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Background: Approximately 20% of patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a medical device that prevents sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and mortality, score above a clinical cutoff on a screening measure ...
Geometry and construction history of a complex intrusive center in the shallow crust, Mount Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Large igneous intrusions grow from incremental emplacement of relatively small batches of magma. The Henry Mountains have been the subject of investigation because multiple, well-exposed intrusive centers are present on ...
Assessing the shallow groundwater system as a potential factor in generating storm-water runoff on a North Carolina barrier island
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The town of Emerald Isle, located in North Carolina's Outer Banks, experiences significant storm-water runoff and flooding problems during the fall and winter months. The topography of the island influences drainage patterns ...
HOLOCENE PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNDA SHELF, OFF NORTHEASTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
In order to understand Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the western Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea), two gravity cores TER15-GC10A and TER15-GC9A were collected (2015) 33 and 37 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu ...
Characterizing Interactions of Thioflavin-T with Native Proteins Especially Bovine Serum Albumin
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Thioflavin T is a fluorescent probe used to monitor formation of cross [beta]-sheet rich amyloid fibrils. Involvement of the amyloid fibrils is implicated in more than 50 human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ...
The Effect of Emotional Labor on Burnout: The Moderating Role of Psychological Capital
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
In the current study we sought to examine the relationships among emotional labor, psychological capital (PsyCap), and burnout. Given that a fairly large percentage of the United States labor force is employed in jobs ...
