A META-ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON THE MEDIATED EFFECTS OF PRINCIPAL LEADERSHIP ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT : EXAMINING THE EFFECT SIZE OF SCHOOL CULTURE ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AS AN INDICATOR OF TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS
(East Carolina University, 2009)The leadership of the school principal has long been associated with teacher effectiveness and student achievement. Research on the topic of principal leadership supports this association (Hallinger, Bickman, & Davis, 1996; ... -
A Meta-Analysis of Workaholism
(East Carolina University, 2011)This meta-analysis examines the relationship between workaholism and numerous work behaviors and outcomes in an attempt to derive a consensus regarding the current state of our understanding of this construct and clarify ... -
Metabolic Disease in Subadult Skeletal Remains from Late Ottoman-Era Tell Hisban, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-25)The site of Tell Hisban in Jordan was seasonally occupied by nomadic agropastoral tribes for over a thousand years. In the latter half of the 1800s, the Ottoman Empire instituted the Tanzimat, a series of reforms intended ... -
Metabolic Flexibility in Non-Obese Individuals
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Human skeletal muscle cells have been used as a tool to study and understand skeletal muscle metabolism due to their retention in characteristics from their donor. Metabolic flexibility is the ability to respond or adapt ... -
Metabolic Inflexibility in Response to Lipid Oversupply with Obesity: Epigenetic Modifications Play a Role
(East Carolina University, 2013)The ability to adjust substrate oxidation according to nutrient availability has been termed `metabolic flexibility' and is a critical factor in overall metabolic health. In respect to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) metabolic ... -
Metabolic Inflexibility in Skeletal Muscle With Obesity
(East Carolina University, 2009)The skeletal muscle of obese individuals has a reduced capacity to oxidize lipids. The hypothesis to be tested in this dissertation is that the ability to regulate lipid oxidation in response to lipid exposure is impaired ... -
Metabolic remodeling of human skeletal myocytes by cocultured adipocytes depends on the lipolytic state of the system
(2011-06-20)Adipocyte infiltration of the musculoskeletal system is well recognized as a hallmark of aging, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Intermuscular adipocytes might serve as a benign storage site for surplus lipid or play a role ... -
Metabolic, Physiological, And Behavioral Responses Of Prey To Predation
(East Carolina University, 2015)Predators are known to cause prey to alter their morphology, life history or behavior in ways that reduce the likelihood of the prey being consumed by the predator. Seldom considered, however, are the consequences of ... -
Metagenomic Evidence for H2 Oxidation and H2 Production by Serpentinite-Hosted Subsurface Microbial Communities
(2012-01-06)Among civilian academic physicians, having a mentor is associated with greater job satisfaction. Whether this is true for military physicians is unknown. We sought to examine whether having a mentor is associated with ... -
Metamorphosis in Red
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-26)Folk and fairy tales have been told for centuries and they remain a mainstay in children's literature. When they were first written down, the tales included startling episodes of mistreatment of women, including sexual ... -
Metempsychosis & Reincarnation
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-03)A flower's beauty does not last forever; the leaves wilt, and the petals fall to the ground until next season when the cycle begins. The moment a flower blooms is the beginning moment it starts to fade away. Metempsychosis ... -
Metformin Improves Insulin Signaling in Obese Rats via Reduced IKK Action in a Fiber-Type Specific Manner
(2010)Metformin is a widely used insulin-sensitizing drug, though its mechanisms are not fully understood. Metformin has been shown to activate AMPK in skeletal muscle; however, its effects on the inhibitor of κB kinaseβ (IKKβ) ...
