Defining God, Love, and Grammar
(East Carolina University, 2014)Based on textual research and general discussion in academia, a field-accepted definition of grammar for the purposes of first-year writing does not yet exist. In order to provide a working definition of grammar, forty-six ... -
Defining Protein Motions the Comprise the Reaction Barrier in Human Epithelial 15-Lipoxygenase-2
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-27)Proteins are dynamic in nature, with these motions playing a role in substrate binding and product release. Protein thermal motions have emerged as participating in the bond making/breaking steps of catalysis and by extension ... -
DEFINING THE ABILITY OF SNAT NANOTHERAPEUTIC TO INHIBIT SARS-COV-2 INFECTION AND ALTER THE HOST MICRONOME TO INDUCE AN ANTIVIRAL CELLULAR ENVIRONMENT
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-07)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory elements that canonically bind to target mRNAs, reducing translation and protein output. They are non-coding strands of RNA, roughly 18-25 nucleotides long, and are found in plants, animals, ... -
Defining the Great Lakes Passenger Freight Propeller: A Statistical, and Historical Study

Defining the role of acyl-CoA synthetase 6 on α-synucleinopathy
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Background: Neurodegenerative diseases known as [alpha]-synucleinopathies, most notably dementias and Parkinson's Disease (PD), are characterized by neuronal aggregation and accumulation of [alpha]-synuclein ([alpha]-syn) ... -
Defining the role of acyl-CoA synthetase 6 on α-synucleinopathy
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)Background: Neurodegenerative diseases known as α-synucleinopathies, most notably dementias and Parkinson’s Disease (PD), are characterized by neuronal aggregation and accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) in a manner that ... -
Defining the Role of the C-Terminal Region of Troponin T by Analysis of a Series of Truncation Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-21)Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and other cardiovascular diseases result from mutations of any of the contractile proteins. Mutations within the actin binding regulatory complex of proteins, including tropomyosin (Tm) ... -
DEFINING THE STRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECORD OF RAPID SEA-LEVEL RISE DURING THE LATE PLEISTOCENE TO HOLOCENE IN THE ALBEMARLE SOUND REGION OF NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2022-08-19)Sea-level fluctuations throughout the late Quaternary Period are recorded in the shallow stratigraphy and modern geomorphology of coastal North Carolina. In the Albemarle Sound region, four distinct Pleistocene sea-level ... -

The Definition of the Work Entity for Pieces of Recorded Sound
(2015-10)The traditional work-instance model differentiates between the intellectual content of a work and the semantic content of its material instantiations. Most scholarship on musical works has concentrated on classical music ... -
Defragmentation of in-vitro fertilization blastocyst stage embryos leading to rescued blastocyst expansion and clinical pregnancy
(2020-10-19)Embryo fragmentation, or extrusion of cell fragments, is a naturally occurring phenomenon that may be associated with impaired embryo development, failed implantation and decreased pregnancy rates. Previous studies have ... -
