BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A LATE BRONZE AGE SKELETAL ASSEMBLAGE FROM KATARET ES-SAMRA, JORDAN
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Two tombs from approximately the Late Bronze Age IB and IC (ca. 1400-1300 B.C.E.) were discovered at Tell Kataret es-Samra, Jordan and excavated in 1978 and 1985. Until this thesis, the skeletal remains had not been fully ... -
Bioarchaeology of Urban versus Rural Historic North Carolina Family Cemeteries
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-07)The urban U.S. in the 18th and 19th centuries often is characterized by poor childhood health due to high population density, poor sanitary conditions, and high levels of pollution. While bioarcheological investigations ... -
Biochemical and genetic analyses of a catalase from the anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis.
(East Carolina University, 1995-06)A single catalase enzyme was produced by the anaerobic bacterium Bacteroides fragilis when cultures at late log phase were shifted to aerobic conditions. In anaerobic conditions, catalase activity was detected ... -
The Biochemical Characterization Of Neuronal K+ Channel N-Glycans And Their Role In Regulating K+ Channel Function
(East Carolina University, 2009)The Kv3 and Kv1 subfamilies of voltage–gated K+ channels are critical components which contribute to action potential repolarization throughout the central nervous system. Here, it was shown that both absolutely conserved ... -
Bioenergetics and Trophic Impacts of Invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish
(East Carolina University, 2010)Indo-Pacific lionfish, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles, are non-native marine fish with established populations in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Rapid population growth threatens native fish ... -
A Bioethical Consideration of End of Life Care
(2015)This project is a thesis on the bioethical considerations involved in moving a terminally ill patient to End of Life Care, commonly known as comfort care. Literature reviews have been carefully integrated, as well as a ... -
Biogeographic Characterization of Fishes from Intertidal Sandflats in Pamlico River, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)The spatial and temporal changes in fish community structure in Pamlico River, North Carolina were analyzed. Salinity and temperature are important water quality parameters influencing fish community structure in estuaries. ... -
A biogeographical profile of the sand cockroach Arenivaga floridensis and its bearing on origin hypotheses for Florida scrub biota
(2017-12-11)Florida scrub is a xeric ecosystem associated with the peninsula’s sand ridges, whose intermittent Pliocene–Pleistocene isolation is considered key to scrub endemism. One scrub origin hypothesis posits endemics were ... -
Bioinformatic exploration of Hoxa2, Hoxb2, Hoxa11, and Hoxd11 in vertebrate evolution
(2015)The purpose of this bioinformatic project was to develop an understanding of how gene evolution shaped morphological complexity within the vertebrate lineage by evaluating protein sequence variations within hoxa2, hoxb2, ...
