MEASURING PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS : ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN A TWO-WAY IMMERSION PROGRAM
(East Carolina University, 2014)School districts across the country are implementing bilingual education models such as two-way immersion, also known as dual language programs. The goals of two-way immersion programs are to assist students to obtain high ... -
Measuring the Ecosystem Impacts of Commercial Shrimp Trawling and Other Fishing Gear in Core Sound, North Carolina Using Ecological Network Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2012)The impacts of commercial trawling are well documented, especially alteration of benthic environments, removal of targeted and by-catch species, and alteration of food webs. I investigated and modeled the impacts of shrimp ... -
Measuring the Filtration Efficiency of the Best-Selling Alternative Masks on Amazon
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-04)The purpose of this study is to assess the filtration efficiency of different face covering materials in comparison to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 respirator. This ... -
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ... -
Mechanism for Improved Insulin Sensitivity after Gastric Bypass Surgery
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)Context: Surgical treatments of obesity have been shown to induce rapid and prolonged improvements in insulin sensitivity. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of gastric bypass surgery and the ... -
Mechanism of a Metal Catalyzed Reaction from a Computational Quantum Mechanical Perspective
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-02)A recent study reported an innovative approach to the synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug, Clinprost. The authors found that the introduction of a palladium catalyst into the reaction scheme helped reduce the overall ... -
Mechanisms controlling the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by liver stem cells
(East Carolina University, 2007-03-06)The mechanisms underlying stem cell acquisition of a cardiac phenotype are unresolved. We studied early events during the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by a cloned adult liver stem cell line (WB F344) in a cardiac ... -
Mechanisms for central cannabinoid receptor 1 evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response in conscious rats
(East Carolina University, 2010)The main goal of the current study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms implicated in central cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R)-evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response. In pursuit of this goal, the candidate first ... -
Mechanisms Involved in the Cerebrovascular Dilator Effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate in Cerebral Cortex
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Glutamate and its synthetic analogues N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) are potent dilator agents in the cerebral circulation. The close linkage between ... -
Mechanisms of germ cell development in Drosophila oogenesis.
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Germ cell development requires interplay between factors that control cell fate and division. Early in their development, germ cells are an interconnected group of mitotically dividing cells. Key regulatory events then ... -
MECHANISMS OF LEFT VENTRICULAR REMODELING IN PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Cardiac remodeling is composed of molecular, cellular, and interstitial changes in the cardiac tissue that affect the size, shape, and function of the heart. There are two types of cardiac remodeling: physiological and ... -
Mechanistic analysis of a synthetic inhibitor of the LasI quorum-sensing signal synthase
(2015-11)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen responsible for many human infections. LasI is an acyl-homoserine lactone synthase that produces a quorum-sensing (QS) signal that positively regulates ... -
Mechanistic Strategies of Two-component Flavin-dependent Monooxygenases Involved in Sulfur Acquisition
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-09)All organisms require sulfur for diverse metabolic and physiological processes. Unlike mammals, bacteria are often deprived of sulfur in their natural habitat. To meet their sulfur needs, bacteria express various proteins ...
