Exposure to Concentrated Coarse Air Pollution Particles Causes Mild Cardiopulmonary Effects in Healthy Young Adults
(East Carolina University, 2009-07)Background: There is ample epidemiologic and toxicologic evidence that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)], which derives primarily from combustion processes, can ... -
Exposure To Elevated Prenatal Testosterone Metabolites Induce Autism-Like Behavior In Rats : Evidence For The Extreme Male Brain And Implications For Human Health
(East Carolina University, 2015)Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) originate during early brain development and are the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Disruptions in the prenatal ... -
Exposure to Heat Stress, Solar Ultraviolet Radiation and Other Occupational Health Hazards Among Groundskeepers at East Carolina University
(2016-09-26)Groundskeepers work most of the year outdoors, performing physically demanding duties. The amount of time spent working outdoors exposes groundskeepers to various hazards including physical hazards (hot temperatures, cold ... -

EXPRESSION AND PURIFICATION OF THE REGULATORY DOMAIN OF HUMAN CARDIAC TROPONIN C (HCTNC): A PROTEIN METHOD OPTIMIZATION STUDY
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-26)The purpose of this experimentation was to optimize the purification methodology for Human Cardiac Troponin C (HcTnC). This was done by replacing the old methodology of the size exclusion column and ion exchange column, ... -
Expression of hemolysins in vivo and role of HlyBA in an intra-abdominal infection model
(2013-04)Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from anaerobic infections. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the genetic and molecular aspects of gene expression of its virulence ... -
Expression of a protein involved in bone resorption, Dkk1, is activated by HTLV-1 bZIP factor through its activation domain
(2010)Background Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia, a malignancy characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of virally-infected CD4+ T-cells. Hypercalcemia and bone ... -

Expression of microRNA in Alveolar Macrophages Deficient in PPARy
(East Carolina University, 2014)The nuclear transcription factor Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a negative regulator of macrophage activation and inflammatory mediators. Alveolar macrophages of healthy individuals ... -
An Extended Fourier Approach to Improve the Retrieved Leaf Area Index (LAI) in a Time Series from an Alpine Wetland
(2015)An extended Fourier approach was presented to improve the retrieved leaf area index (LAIr) of herbaceous vegetation in a time series from an alpine wetland. The retrieval was performed from the Aqua MODIS 8-day composite ... -
