The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ... -
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015)Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ... -
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ... -
Missing in Action: A Mission to Investigate and Neutralize Book Loss
(2015-10-19)Objective: During the summer of 2014, Laupus Library at East Carolina University began investigating an increase in the number of items that were being reported as being “not on shelf” by staff and patrons. Due to a ... -
MITIGATING THE IMPACTS OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE USING HEART RATE VARIABILITYMITIGATING THE IMPACTS OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE USING HEART RATE VARIABILITY
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-09)Objective: The primary objective of this literature review is to examine the current state of the science on heart rate variability is currently used to mitigate the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. ... -
Mitigation Effect of Waste Glass Powders on Alkali–Silica Reaction (ASR) Expansion in Cementitious Composite
(2018-11-20)The effects of different contents and particle sizes of waste glass powder on alkali–silica reaction (ASR) expansion of cementitious composite bar were investigated in this study. Waste glass powder with particle size less ... -
Mitochondrial alterations accompany forced differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia.
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-09)Leukemia is characterized by blocked hematopoietic differentiation. Blocked differentiation results in the uncontrolled proliferation of immature, malignant myeloblasts. To counteract myeloblast proliferation, forced ... -
Mitochondrial Diagnostics: A Multiplexed Assay Platform for Comprehensive Assessment of Mitochondrial Energy Fluxes
(2018-09-25)Chronic metabolic diseases have been linked to molecular signatures of mitochondrial dysfunction. Nonetheless, molecular remodeling of the transcriptome, proteome, and/or metabolome does not necessarily translate to ... -
MITOCHONDRIAL DNA VARIATION IN THE PITCHER PLANT FLY SARCOPHAGA SARRACENIAE: EXPLORING POSSIBLE INFLUENCES OF HOST SPECIFICITY AND GEOGRAPHIC STRUCTURING
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)North American pitcher plants (Sarracenia) are a recently evolved (~3 my) assemblage of 11 carnivorous species. Sarracenia pitchers also provide resources (food, shelter) for certain arthropods, including two genera of ... -
Mitochondrial H₂O₂ emission and cellular redox state link excess fat intake to insulin resistance in both rodents and humans
(2009-03)High dietary fat intake leads to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and this represents a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been ... -
Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity In Human Skeletal Muscle: Association with Plasma Lactate Concentration
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-11)ABSTRACT Background: Metabolic disease is a growing concern for public health. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are an epidemic and a phenotype for insulin resistance in human skeletal muscle. A reduced mitochondrial function ... -
Mitochondrial PE potentiates respiratory enzymes to amplify skeletal muscle aerobic capacity
(2019-09-11)Exercise capacity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity, its biggest contributor, adapts robustly to changes in energy demands induced by contractile activity. ... -
Mitochondrial Respiratory Capacity and Content Are Normal in Young Insulin-Resistant Obese Humans
(2014-01)Considerable debate exists about whether alterations in mitochondrial respiratory capacity and/or content play a causal role in the development of insulin resistance during obesity. The current study was undertaken to ...
