Boron Stress Responsive MicroRNAs and Their Targets in Barley
(2013)Boron stress is an environmental factor affecting plant development and production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in several plant processes such as growth regulation and stress responses. In ... -
Borrelia burgdorferi ErpB and ErpQ inhibit C1 complex of the classical pathway of complement through a novel mechanism
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)The complement system is an organized proteolytic cascade of dozens of proteins that functions in the recognition, opsonization, and lysis of pathogenic and altered-host cells. Bloodborne pathogens like the etiologic agent ... -
Borrowing ecological principles: Influence of reef placement and habitat complexity on free-living and parasite diversity
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-25)Environmental factors often shape and regulate the distribution of community assemblages throughout an ecosystem. For example, in the rocky intertidal zones, marine ecologists have identified abiotic forces and biotic ... -

Bouveret's Syndrome with Severe Esophagitis and a Purulent Fistula
(2014-04)Bouveret's syndrome is a rare variant of gallstone ileus with an overall incidence of 1–3%. It is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction resulting from the passage and impaction of a large gallstone through a ... -

Brachial Flow-Mediated Dilation and Incident Atrial Fibrillation The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(2014)Objective—It is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction precedes atrial fibrillation (AF) development. The objective of this study was to examine the association of brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with incident ... -
Brachial plexopathy after prone positioning
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)Two cases of brachial plexus injury after prone position in the intensive care unit are described. Mechanisms of brachial plexus injury are described, as are methods for prevention of this unusual complication. Originally ... -
Brackish Water : Stories
(East Carolina University, 2011)Each of the five short stories in this collection depicts the struggle of a Belizean character and takes place in a locale that recalls the history or culture of a specific region of Belize. There are both male and female ... -
BRACTEATES AS INDICATORS OF NORTHERN PAGAN RELIGIOSITY IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES
(East Carolina University, 2012)This thesis investigates the religiosity of some Germanic peoples of the Migration period (approximately AD 300-800) and seeks to overcome some difficulties in the related source material. The written sources which describe ... -
Brain size varies with temperature in vertebrates
(2014-03)The tremendous variation in brain size among vertebrates has long been thought to be related to differences in species’ metabolic rates. It is thought that species with higher metabolic rates can supply more energy to ... -
Brain stem adenosine receptors modulate centrally mediated hypotensive responses in conscious rats: A review
(2014-12)Abbreviations: A2A, adenosine subtype A2A receptor; A1, adenosine subtype A1 receptor; ABC, avidin biotin complex; ABD rat, aortic barodenervated rat; α2 AR, alpha 2 adrenergic receptor; αMNE, alpha methyl norepinephrine; ... -
Brain transcriptome of the violet-eared waxbill and recent evolution in the songbird genome
(2013-09)Songbirds are important models for the study of social behaviour and communication. To complement the recent genome sequencing of the domesticated zebra finch, we sequenced the brain transcriptome of a closely related ... -
Brain transcriptome sequencing and assembly of three songbird model systems for the study of social behavior
(2014-05)Emberizid sparrows (emberizidae) have played a prominent role in the study of avian vocal communication and social behavior. We present here brain transcriptomes for three emberizid model systems, song sparrow Melospiza ... -
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin receptors modulate glutamate-induced phase shifts of the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(East Carolina University, 2006-08)Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raised the possibility that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high-affinity ...
