(East Carolina University, 2023-12-06)Occupation fraud is one of the most common financial crimes. Occupational fraud is defined as fraud committed by individuals against the organization that employs them. Most people that commit occupational fraud have access ... -
Investigating Genetic Variants of the Folate One Carbon Metabolism (FOCM) Pathway for Associations with Recurrent Stroke and Measures of Homocysteine
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-17)Stroke is currently the fifth leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Stroke accounts for over 140,000 deaths annually and according to the Centers for Disease Control and ... -
Investigating Intra- and Inter-Molecular Coevolution of Intrinsically Disordered Protein, Prothymosin-alpha
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Prothymosin-α (ProTα) is a small, highly acidic protein found in the nuclei of virtually all mammalian tissues. It belongs to a class of proteins known for their lack of a rigid three-dimensional structure called intrinsically ... -
INVESTIGATING MECHANISMS REGULATING MAMMALIAN SPERMATOGONIAL DIFFERENTIATION AND MEIOTIC INITIATION
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-27)Spermatogonia differentiation and meiotic initiation are complex processes essential for male fertility. Despite knowing for nearly 60 years that retinoic acid (RA) is instrumental for successful production of functional ... -

Investigating Novel Chromosome 2 Genetic Variants Associated with Recurrent Stroke
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-18)As the fifth leading cause of death and leading cause of long-term disability, stroke affects 795,000 individuals annually in the United States alone. Recurrent stroke, which is far more deadly and disabling, accounts for ... -
INVESTIGATING SALINITY TOLERANCE AND PARASITE DIVERSITY IN NATIVE NORTH CAROLINA ESTUARY PANOPEIDS (MUD CRABS)
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-11)Investigating organismal response to invasions is increasingly important given human-mediated global change. Estuarine organisms face numerous biotic and abiotic factors that influence their ability to respond to invaders ... -
Investigating Scuba Divers' Attitudes To Sustainable Shipwreck Diving In North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)This study examined the ways in which NC scuba divers identify sustainable shipwreck diving activities to gain a better understanding of how their behavior impacts sustainable cultural tourism on the coast of North Carolina. ... -
Investigating the causes of hatching failure of Eastern Bluebird eggs: A possible role for heat shock proteins
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-03)Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) studied for 13 years at East Carolina University’s West Research Campus have shown declines in reproductive success via hatching failure in recent years. The purpose of my research is to ... -
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF LARVAL PHENOTYPES ON TRAITS EXHIBITED AT A CRUCIAL LIFE-HISTORY SWITCH POINT
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-25)In organisms with complex life histories, phenotypes exhibited in non-reproductive life stages are often correlated with adult performance and fitness. For example, in anurans (frogs and toads), age and size at metamorphosis ... -
