Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
(2019-03-08)Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating ... -
Using geometry to select one dimensional exponential families that are monotone likelihood ratio in the sample space, are weakly unimodal and can be parametrized by a measure of central tendency
(2014-07-18)One dimensional exponential families on finite sample spaces are studied using the geometry of the simplex Δn°-1 and that of a transformation Vn-1 of its interior. This transformation is the natural parameter space ... -

USING HYBRID SCRUM TO MEET WATERFALL PROCESS DELIVERABLES
(East Carolina University, 2013)System Development Life Cycles (SDLCs) for organizations are often based upon traditional software development models such as the waterfall model. These processes are complex, heavy in documentation deliverables, and are ... -
USING LASER CAPTURE MICRODISSECTION (LCM) TO EXAMINE MADS-BOX GENE EXPRESSION IN THE UPPER AND LOWER FLORAL MERISTEMS OF MAIZE
(East Carolina University, 2013)MADS-box transcription factors are important regulators of flower development in all flowering plants. In the grasses, flowers (called florets) are contained in spikelets. Maize spikelets contain two florets (the upper and ... -
Using LC/MS to Quantify Metabolites in Urine Samples Post Clinical Exposure to Benzoates in Beverages
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Evidence has suggested that benzoate consumption has the potential to cause weight loss prevention. Benzoate is conjugated with glycine in the mitochondrial matrix to form hippurate which is eliminated in urine. IRB approval ... -
