Comparison of Online and Face-to-Face Physical Activity Courses on Undergraduates' Physical Activity Levels and Constructs of Self-Determination Theory
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-19)Regular physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and can positively impact mental well-being, cognitive abilities, and academic performance. Public health recommendations state ... -
Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere
(2007)Black carbon (BC), the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass (called elemental carbon (EC) in atmospheric sciences), was quantified in 12 different materials by 17 laboratories from different ... -
Comparison of Scaled vs. Ultrasound Based Musculoskeletal Models on Knee Muscle Moments During Single-Leg Squatting
(East Carolina University, 2012)Muscles produce force, resulting in moments about a joint, causing movement of the body. Muscle forces are estimated with a Hill-type model incorporating four parameters; optimal fiber length (OFL), tendon slack length, ... -
Comparison of Stance Phase Knee Joint Angles and Moments Using Two Different Surface Marker Representations of the Proximal Shank in Walkers and Runners
(2013)Efforts to compare different surface marker configurations in 3-dimensional motion analysis are warranted as more complex and custom marker sets become more common. At the knee, different markers can been used to represent ... -
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ... -
Comparison Of The Mismatch Negativity and A Differential Waveform Response
(East Carolina University, 2005)A mismatch negativity response (MMN) and a new differential waveform were derived in an effort to evaluate a neural refractory or recovery effect in adult listeners. The MMN was elicited using oddball test runs in which ... -
Comparison of tolerance characteristics in the guinea pig following chronic in-vivo exposure to opioid versus cannabinoid receptor agonists
(East Carolina University, 2010)Few studies have compared the nature of tolerance that develops following chronic in vivo opioid treatment with that which develops after chronic cannabinoid exposure in the same tissue and species. Based on similarities ... -
COMPARISON OF TOPIC MODELING METHODS FOR ANALYZING TWEETS ON COVID-19 VACCINE
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-20)Twitter is a microblogging site and a popular social media platform for sharing thoughts on current world events. The dynamic of Twitter discussions makes it a valuable data source for mining people's opinions and emotions ... -
COMPARISON OF TWO HUMAN CELL LINES FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO LOW DOSE RADIATION AND TREATMENT WITH SOYBEAN MISO AND ITS ACTIVE INGREDIENT GENISTEIN
(East Carolina University, 2013)Exposure to radiation is increasingly becoming a worldwide health issue. Because of this, the need for effective radioprotectors is critical. This need is not met by amifostine, the current "gold standard" in radioprotectors, ... -
A comparison of two keyboarding instruction methods over 2 years for elementary students.
(2021-07)Background: As computer and digital device use continues to grow in prevalence for school and work tasks, it is important for elementary-aged students to develop efficient keyboarding skills to support future academic and ... -
Comparison of Two Relaxation Techniques to Reduce Physiological Indices of Anxiety in a Person with Mild Mental Retardation
(East Carolina University, 2009)Occupational therapists play an important role in improving the occupational performance of persons with mental retardation. Relaxation techniques are a preparatory activity used by occupational therapists to enhance ... -
Comparison of Usual Versus Best Practice in Preventing and Managing Low Back Pain
(2014)Musculoskeletal disorders contribute to 34% of work-related injuries in the United States that result in missed days from work (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2013). Healthcare workers are at a particularly high risk of ... -
A comparison of vestibular and auditory phenotypes in inbred mouse strains
(East Carolina University, 2006-05-26)The purposes of this research were to quantify gravity receptor function in inbred mouse strains and compare vestibular and auditory function for strain- and age-matched animals. Vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs) were ... -
A comparison of watershed nitrogen loading and watershed nitrogen exports from on-site wastewater treatment systems and centralized sewer systems in the North Carolina Coastal Plain
(East Carolina University, 2013)Elevated nitrogen (N) concentrations in groundwater may cause adverse effects to adjacent surface water bodies. In North Carolina, half of the residences use on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), yet they are typically ...
