Integrative Complexity of Coastal Resources Management: Examining Tradeoffs Between Ecosystem Protection and Resource Use
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)The management dilemma of use versus protection is a complex issue, and like most complex issues, it does not lend itself to a simple or simplistic solution. This dissertation research examined the connection between ... -
Integrative Health Coaching : A Phenomenology of Clients' Discoveries
(East Carolina University, 2012)The field of health coaching has experienced significant growth in response to the social and economic burden of chronic disease. Integrative health coaching (IHC) applies the principles of integrative medicine and a ... -
Integrative multi-omic analyses identify novel biomarkers for recurrent stroke in participants from the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) clinical trial
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Background: Recurrent strokes are deadlier and more disabling than primary strokes and over 185,000 individuals in the US suffer a recurrent event each year. Current diagnostic and at-risk identification tools are inadequate ... -

INTELLIGENT MODEL FOR IMAGE-BASED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-29)Online shopping has developed in parallel with the Internet, and Recommendation Systems have played a pivotal role in its growth. The recommendations are usually provided in two ways: Content-based Filtering and Collaborative ... -
Intensive Care Unit Joint Commission Remediation Plan 2021
(2022-07-22)Background: Nurses in the intensive care unit (ICU) are tasked with caring for patients who are mechanically ventilated and require medications to induce sedation and/or pain relief. Sedation assists to prevent agitation ... -
The Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial: design and rationale
(East Carolina University, 2009-07-28)Background: Obesity is the most modifiable risk factor, and dietary induced weight loss potentially the best nonpharmacologic intervention to prevent or to slow osteoarthritis (OA) disease progression. We are currently ... -
Interaction and Functional Analysis of Drosophila Mcm10
(East Carolina University, 2010)In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication and the subsequent packaging of DNA into specific chromatin states are essential processes for the transmission of genetic material and genomic stability which may be linked by interactions ... -
INTERACTION BETWEEN HTLV-1 BASIC LEUCINE ZIPPER FACTOR (HBZ) AND HOST CELL PROTEINS PROMOTES CELLULAR TRANSFORMATION
(2016-04-26)Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) is a complex retrovirus which preferentially infects CD4+ T-cells. Endemic to Japan, regions of South America, Africa, and the Caribbean, HTLV-1 is transmitted through breastfeeding, ... -
Interaction cross sections needed for simulation of secondary electron emission spectra from thin metal foils after fast proton impact
(East Carolina University, 2009)Monte Carlo simulations of secondary electron emission from thin metal foils after fast proton impact require reliable interaction cross sections with the target under consideration. Total and energy differential inelastic ... -
The Interaction of Caldesmon with the COOH Terminus of Actin
(East Carolina University, 1991-10-25)Caldesmon interacts with the NH2-terminal region of actin. It is now shown in airfuge centrifugation experiments that modification of the penultimate cysteine residue of actin significantly weakens its binding to caldesmon ... -
Interaction of memantine with ethanol consumption and dopaminergic function in high ethanol preferring rats
(East Carolina University, 2009)N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists have been reported to decrease ethanol consumption in rodents, but these drugs often produce adverse side effects. Memantine is a neuroprotective and low-affinity, ... -
The Interaction of Trunk-Load and Trunk-Position Adaptations on Knee Anterior Shear and Hamstrings Muscle Forces During Landing
(East Carolina University, 2010)Context: Because anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can occur during deceleration maneuvers, biomechanics research has been focused on the lower extremity kinetic chain. Trunk mass and changes in trunk position ...
