Effects of palindromes on in vivo DNA replication and mutagenesis in bacteriophage phi X174 RF DNA.
(East Carolina University, 1988-11-25)Bacteriophage IX174 mutants with insertions of palindromic DNA sequences are rapidly outgrown by competing wild-type phage (Muller & Turnage, J. Mol. Biol. 189: 285). The basis for this defect was investigated and found ... -
Effects of Parental Obesity on Fat Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise in Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)The aim of the present study was to compare fat metabolism during submaximal exercise in children with a morbidly obese parent - (COP) (BMI [greater than or equal to] 40 kg/m²) to children with relatively lean parents - ... -
Effects of PFMOAA, An Understudied PFAS, on Developing Mice
(East Carolina University, 2021-08-16)Perfluoro-2-methoxyaacetic acid (PFMOAA) was recently the most prevalent emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) detected in the Cape Fear River of North Carolina (NC). A byproduct of fluorochemical manufacturing, ... -
EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS ON INITIAL LISTING PRICE, TIME ON MARKET, AND ULTIMATE SELLING PRICE
(East Carolina University, 2018-04-20)A house is comprised of many different attributes that may affect how well it performs when listed for sale on the market. This study examines how certain physical characteristics of a house affect its listing price, time ... -

The effects of presentation rate on semantic, syntactic, and orthographic processing and relationship to reading fluency in children
(East Carolina University, 2011)Reading fluency is the connection between reading decoding and reading comprehension. A child becomes fluent between second and third grade (Coltheart, 1978). However, it is unknown if fluency is strictly the result of ... -
Effects of progesterone nuclear receptor on dopaminergic nuclei involved in social aggression in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)Aggression is tightly controlled by hormonal and neural regulation in all social animals. Although extensive effort has been invested in studying the neuroendocrine bases of aggressive behavior, our knowledge of the role ... -
