Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in carrot cells
(2018-01-13)Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas9) is a powerful genome editing tool that has been widely adopted in model organisms recently, but has not been used in carrot—a model ... -
Egg safety: To refrigerate or not
(2022-07-27)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column investigates the reasoning and policy surrounding egg refrigeration and explains why some eggs require refrigeration, while ... -
EGID: an ensemble algorithm for improved genomic island detection in genomic sequences
(2011)Genomic islands (GIs) are genomic regions that are originally transferred from other organisms. The detection of genomic islands in genomes can lead to many applications in industrial, medical and environmental contexts. ... -
eHealth Literacy and Web 2.0 Health Information Seeking Behaviors Among Baby Boomers and Older Adults
(2015-03-17)Background: Baby boomers and older adults, a subset of the population at high risk for chronic disease, social isolation, and poor health outcomes, are increasingly utilizing the Internet and social media (Web 2.0) to ... -
eHEALTH LITERACY, MEDICAL MISTRUST AND CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION KNOWLEDGE, BELIEFS AND BEHAVIORS AMONG AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-17)Cervical cancer (CC) is a major global public health problem and is the third most common cancer among women worldwide. In the United States, African Americans have the second highest incidence rates of CC, due to having ... -
EHR and Cost: Is "Meaningful Use" Meaningfully Reducing Health Care Costs?
(2015)The United States of America is one of the top spenders on health care per capita in the world; in 2013, we spent twice as much as France, a country known for having quality health care for its citizens (OECD, 2013). As a ... -
Eigenvalues for Sums of Hermitian Matrices
(East Carolina University, 2015)In this thesis we explore how the eigenvalues of nxn Hermitian matrices A,B relate to the eigenvalues of their sum C=A+B. We mainly focus on inequalities bounding sums of r eigenvalues for C by sums of r eigenvalues for A ... -
Eight Year Review of Design and Construction: Calabogie Race Track Pavement
(2016-04)Presented at the 52nd Annual International Conference of the Associated Schools of Construction in April 2016 at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. -
Eight Years Superb Performance of a Motorcycles Race Track Pavement – A Design and Construction Review
(2016)The primary purposes of this paper are to review the special pavement design and construction activities employed in construction of the Calabogie race track after a visual conduction survey to the surface conditions and ... -
El registro geológico de la transformación ambiental de la ría de Bilbao durante el Holoceno y el Antropoceno
(San Sebastian, Spain : Sociedad de ciencias aranzadi zientzi elkartea, 2009)The northeastern coast of Spain is characterized by Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary rocks forming high cliffs interrupted by short, narrow estuaries that are separated from the open sea by sandbars, beaches and dune deposits. ... -
Elastic and inelastic light scattering from single bacterial spores in an optical trap allows the monitoring of spore germination dynamics
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)Raman scattering spectroscopy and elastic light scattering intensity (ESLI) were used to simultaneously measure levels of Ca-dipicolinic acid (CaDPA) and changes in spore morphology and refractive index during germination ... -
Electroacupuncture Improves Baroreflex and γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type B Receptor-Mediated Responses in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarii of Hypertensive Rats
(2018-09-30)Electroacupuncture (EA) has been reported to benefit hypertension, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. We hypothesized that EA attenuates hypertension, in part, through modulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ... -
Electrochemical Detection of Anti-Biofilm Activity Using Unnatural Amino Acid-Containing Antimicrobial Peptides
(East Carolina University, 2015)Bacterial infections are a significant health problem that can be detrimental to the human population. It is estimated that bacterial infections are responsible for billions of dollars’ worth of damages in the health care ... -
ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF BENZO[A]PYRENE METABOLITE DNA DAMAGE : IMPLICATIONS OF NUCLEOBASE SEQUENCE AND ADDUCT STEREOCHEMISTRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)Xenobiotics are chemical compounds introduced to living organisms that originate outside the body. A well-studied xenobiotic is benzo[a]pyrene (BP), a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) primarily introduced into the body via ... -
Electrochemical Detection of Benzo[a]Pyrene-Induced DNA Damage at TP53 Oligomers : Impact of 5'-Methyl Cytosine and Bioactivation on the Genotoxicity Process
(East Carolina University, 2014)DNA houses the blueprint that dictates how an organism will develop. However, DNA features numerous reactive sites that can be attacked by chemicals and radiation, resulting in DNA damage and possibly mutations. Chemical ... -
Electrochemical Detection of DNA Methylation and Implications for Detection of Cancer Onset Resulting from Hypermethylation
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Epigenetics refers to the process by which genetic material is modified without changing the base coding sequence1. One such epigenetic process is DNA methylation, employed by cells to regulate gene expression, often by ... -
