Development of a Deployable HRV Assessment and Training System
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-02)PTSD is a debilitating psychological condition that is difficult to treat and has been directly connected to depression, anxiety, and somatic complaints consistent with a hyperaroused autonomic nervous system (ANS). In ... -
Development of a Diffraction Imaging Flow Cytometer for Study of Biological Cells
(East Carolina University, 2010)Visible light interacts with biological cells primarily through elastic scattering. With coherent excitation the scattered light is coherent as well and contains much information about the cells morphology but with the ... -
Development of a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Model for Propagation of Transient Sounds in Very Shallow Water
(2013-08-12)We developed a finite difference time domain (FDTD) model for sound propagation using pressure and velocity grids with both three-dimensional Cartesian and two-dimensional cylindrical implementations. Propagation parameters, ... -
Development of a Free Health Care Clinic in western North Carolina
(2016-07-19)The purpose of this DNP project is to describe the development of a free health clinic in the western North Carolina community. The process will include the use of a community needs assessment to influence the formation ... -
Development of a Heart Motion Tracking System using Non-invasive Imaging Data
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Cardiac motion can be monitored non-invasively for the assessment of cardiovascular function by using medical imaging systems and motion tracking algorithms. Existing tracking approaches require a priori understanding of ... -
Development of a Human IFN-β Expression System using Chinese Hamster Ovarian Cells
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Two human IFN-β expression systems were derived based on the pIRES2-AcGFP1 plasmid backbone. One expression plasmid encoded human IFN-β fused to a C-terminal linker and an 8-histidine affinity chromatography tag. A second ... -
Development of a Meal Creation Tool to Assess Knowledge and Preference among Preschool Children
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Knowledge and preference towards healthful foods can help researchers better understand developing health behaviors; however, few validated tools are available to evaluate these constructs among young children. The purpose ... -
Development of a Method for the Determination of Bisphenol A in Vervet Monkey Hair using LC-MS/MS and LC-UV/Vis
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)No methods for estimating levels of anthropogenic disturbance on non-human primate (NHP) populations were identified within the literature. Such a method would allow for the assessment of human impact on NHP populations. ... -
