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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Tumor Growth Induces Oxidative Clustered DNA Lesions Damage in Distant Mouse Tissue in vivo
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Our goal was to ascertain if DNA damage induced by oxidative stress is capable of being exploited as a precancerous or cancer biomarker. The specific DNA damage that we assessed was oxidatively induced non-DSB clustered ...
Coevolutionary analysis of Appalachian Xystodesmid millipedes and their symbiotic Mesostigmatid mites
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Mites (Acari) form symbiotic relationships with many animal taxa including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, mollusks, and arthropods. They are frequently found living on millipedes, and it has often been ...
