Authority Control of Names in Local Digitization Projects and the Eastern North Carolina Postcard Collection
(East Carolina University, 2009)Authority control is a vitally important but frequently overlooked aspect of metadata creation for local digitization projects. The addition of digital projects metadata to the traditional cataloging environment creates a ... -
Autocrine production of extracellular catalase prevents apoptosis of the human CEM T-cell line in serum-free medium.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05-15)CCRF-CEM is a human T-cell line originally isolated from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At cell densities > 2 x 10 cells per ml, CEM cells grow in serum-free medium, but at lower cell densities the cultures ... -
Autolysis and Autoaggregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colony Morphology Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)Two distinctive colony morphologies were noted in a collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposon insertion mutants. One set of mutants formed wrinkled colonies of autoaggregating cells. Suppressor analysis of a subset ... -
Automated classification of massive scale image data
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-13)The diffraction image is a useful method to facilitate the representation of tiny entities such as the cell. It provides an efficient way to analyze the 3D morphological features of biological cells. However, the ... -
Automated Usability Evaluations using Client Side Usability Framework (CSUF)
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)Usability of a website is essential in order for a company to achieve its business goals. Evaluating a website for usability and accessibility is costly and time consuming primarily because it involves usability experts ... -
Automatic quantitative analysis of morphology of apoptotic HL-60 cells
(2014-01)Morphological identification is a widespread procedure to assess the presence of apoptosis by visual inspection of the morphological characteristics or the fluorescence images. The procedure is lengthy and results are ... -
Automobility, Hospitality, African American Tourism, and Mapping Victor H. Green's Negro Motorist Green Book
(East Carolina University, 2013)Victor Green's travel guide stands as one illustration of tools used by African Americans to survive in the contested and disputed landscape of Jim Crow segregation. The Green Book as a symbol of the civil rights movement ... -
The “Goldilocks Zone� from a redox perspective—Adaptive vs. deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle
(2014-09)Consequences of oxidative stress may be beneficial or detrimental in physiological systems. An organ system's position on the “hormetic curve” is governed by the source and temporality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ... -
Aβ peptides and the exposure of their hydrophobic residues upon copper(ii) complex formation: probing mechanisms of amyloid plaque formation in human and rat peptide complexes
(2015-04)Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that affects 35 million people worldwide and is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. AD is characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and ... -
