DINITROBENZENES STIMULATE ELECTRON FLUX WITHIN NEURONAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE IN THE ABSENCE OF CALMODULIN
(2011)Efficient electron transfer and conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide (NO●) by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) requires calmodulin (CaM) binding. The present study focused on electron transfer ... -
Diophantine Generation, Galois Theory, and Hilbert's Tenth Problem
(East Carolina University, 2012)Hilbert's Tenth Problem was a question concerning existence of an algorithm to determine if there were integer solutions to arbitrary polynomial equations over the integers. Building on the work by Martin Davis, Hilary ... -

(2017-10-21)Background: Obesity rates are higher among rural versus urban adolescents. To examine possible mechanisms for the rural-urban adolescent obesity disparity, we examined the direct and indirect effects of food purchasing ... -
DIRECT ELECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE REDOX ACTIVITY OF TRYPTOPHAN AND TYROSINE IN MODIFIED AZURINS: THE IMPACT OF THE PROTEIN ENVIRONMENT
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is a biological process essential to life. It is imperative for respiration in animals as well as photosynthesis in plants. Long-range PCET is often facilitated by redox-active amino ... -
Direct Inhibition of RNAse T2 Expression by the HTLV-1 Viral Protein Tax
(2011-08)Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is one of the primary diseases caused by Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. The virally-encoded Tax protein is believed to initiate early events in the development of this ... -

Director Co-option and the Cash Conversion Cycl
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-06)This study examines whether co-opted directors degrade or improve working capital efficiency. We find strong evidence that firms with more co-opted boards exhibit lower cash conversion cycles and so are more efficient at ... -

(2018-04-30)Objective: To investigate the psychometric properties of the activities of daily living (ADL) instrument used in the analysis of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) dataset. Methods: A retrospective study was ... -
Discharge β-Blocker Use and Race after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2014-04)Introduction: The use of discharge β-blockers after cardiac surgery is associated with a long-term mortality benefit. β-Blockers have been suggested to be less effective in black cardiovascular patients compared with whites. ... -
Disciplinary Differences in Student Use of Library-Provided Materials in Dissertations
(2021-07)Citation analysis is a valuable approach for collection managers to provide evidence of collection use and direct future collection growth. Researchers at East Carolina University reviewed nearly 23,000 citations from 171 ... -
Discourse Analysis of Adults with Anomic and Broca's Aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)Multilevel discourse analyses have been demonstrated to be more sensitive than some standardized language tests (Marini et al., 2011). Individuals with aphasia often present with both microlinguistic and macrolinguistic ... -
Discourse Process Training and Attention Process Training 2 in Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present with relatively preserved lexical and grammatical skills but exhibit discourse level deficits which negatively affect functional communication. Discourse following ...
