Determining New Directions for a Rural Academic Library/ Outreach Services Program: What was learned from a 2006 needs assessment of healthcare providers.
(2006-10-15)A needs assessment of healthcare providers in the rural, 23-country Eastern AHEC region results in changes to the delivery of library and information services. -
NMR characterizations of an amyloidogenic conformational ensemble of the PI3K SH3 domain
(East Carolina University, 2006-11)Amyloid formation is associated with structural changes of native polypeptides to monomeric intermediate states and their self-assembly into insoluble aggregates. Characterizations of the amyloidogenic intermediate state ... -
Bedside tool for predicting the risk of postoperative dialysis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(2006-11-06)Estimation of an individual patient’s risk for postoperative dialysis can support informed clinical decision making and patient counseling. -
Acute Modulation of Adipose Tissue Lipolysis by Intravenous Estrogens
(East Carolina University, 2006-12)Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether intravenous (IV) conjugated estrogens (EST) acutely enhance the suppression of whole-body or regional subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) lipolysis by insulin in ... -
Presenilin-1 inhibits delta-catenin-induced cellular branching and promotes delta-catenin processing and turnover
(East Carolina University, 2006-12-29)Although delta-catenin/neural plakophilin-related armadillo protein (NPRAP) was reported to interact with presenilin-1 (PS-1), the effects of PS-1 on delta-catenin have not been established. In this study, we report that ... -

Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere
(2007)Black carbon (BC), the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass (called elemental carbon (EC) in atmospheric sciences), was quantified in 12 different materials by 17 laboratories from different ... -
Gamma Protocadherin Expression in the Embryonic Chick Nervous System
(East Carolina University, 2007)Protocadherin gamma (pcdh-gamma) family expression was examined in the embryonic chick central nervous system by in situ hybridization. Transcripts were visualized in discrete regions of fore-, mid-, and hindbrain at stages ... -
Apigenin Prevents UVB-Induced Cyclooxygenase 2 Expression: Coupled mRNA Stabilization and Translational Inhibition
(East Carolina University, 2007-01)Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, and COX-2 overexpression plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Exposure to UVB strongly increased COX-2 protein expression ... -
Compact operators and nest representations of limit algebras
(2007-01-04)In this paper we study the nest representations $ \rho: \mathcal{A} \longrightarrow \operatorname{Alg} \mathcal{N}$ of a strongly maximal TAF algebra $ \mathcal{A}$, whose ranges contain non-zero compact operators. We ... -
