Can otolith microchemistry be used to identify spawning stocks and characterize the life history of Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris)?
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)Highly migratory and diadromous fishes present an array of challenges to fisheries managers. This is particularly true when stocks extend across management borders and occupy multiple management jurisdictions. It is valuable ... -
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 ... -
Carbon Budget of an Eastern North Carolina Pocosin Following Nutrient Gradient Manipulation
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-06)Wetlands store ~25-30% of the earth's soil pool of carbon. Seventeen percent of the US' wetlands are found in North Carolina (NC) where 70% of NC's freshwater wetlands are pocosin peatlands. Pocosins are known for thick ... -
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 ... -
Carl Woese, Dick Young, and the roots of astrobiology
(2014-03)The beginning of the space age in the late 1950s gave rise to innovative and interdisciplinary research concepts and perspectives, including the concept of “exobiology” as a way to approach the fundamental aspects of biology ... -
Catabolite repression control (Crc) gene and Pseudomonas virulence
(2004-11-30)The present invention relates to a method of screening for compounds that inhibit the virulence of Pseudomonas bacteria and comprises the steps of: providing a culture medium comprising Pseudomonas bacteria, administering ... -
Cdc6 expression represses E-cadherin transcription and activates adjacent replication origins
(2011-12)E-cadherin (CDH1) loss occurs frequently in carcinogenesis, contributing to invasion and metastasis. We observed that mouse and human epithelial cell lines overexpressing the replication licensing factor Cdc6 underwent ...
