Assessment of Insecticide Resistance to Organophosphates and Pyrethroids in Aedes aegypti
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of pathogens such as Zika, dengue, yellow fever and chikungunya viruses, making mosquito control for this species a vital part of protecting public health. Pesticides used to control the ... -
Assessment of Leaf Area Index of Rice for a Growing Cycle Using Multi-Temporal C-Band PolSAR Datasets
(2019-11-12)C-band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data has been previously explored for estimating the leaf area index (LAI) of rice. Although the rice-growing cycle was partially covered in most of the studies, ... -
ASSESSMENT OF MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGETICS IN A SKELETAL MUSCLE RESISTANT TO HYPOXIA.
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-23)Skeletal muscle is dependent upon oxygen (O2) to maintain normal physiological function by acting as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondria during ATP production. Loss of O2 tension (i.e. hypoxia) leads to the ... -
ASSESSMENT OF MODERN SEDIMENT STORAGE IN THE FLOODPLAIN OF THE LOWER TAR RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2010)Rivers transport water, sediment, and other constituents from the continent to the sea, but in route material can often become stored temporarily or permanently. Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, coastal plain ... -
ASSESSMENT OF NICHE PARTITIONING IN CO-OCCURRING SILVERSIDES FROM THE ALBEMARLE AND PAMLICO SOUNDS OF NORTH CAROLINA
(2015-05-01)The niche partitioning hypothesis predicts that two species cannot compete for the same limited resources and that one species should differentiate (genetically, morphologically or behaviorally), so that the two species ... -
Assessment of Nitrate Concentrations in Groundwater Near an Onsite Wastewater System Before and After Installation of a Permeable Reactive Barrier
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-08)There are approximately 2 million onsite wastewater systems (OWS) in North Carolina that provide soil-based treatment of wastewater. Wastewater contains elevated concentrations of environmental pollutants including nitrogen. ... -
Assessment of Occupational Noise Exposure among Groundskeepers in North Carolina Public Universities
(2016-05-12)Groundskeepers may have increased risk to noise-induced hearing loss due to the performance of excessively noisy tasks. This study assessed the exposure of groundskeepers to noise in multiple universities and determined ... -
Assessment of single-spot TOPAS MC simulation for proton pencil beam scanning in homogeneous and heterogeneous media and quantification of dosimetric impact of CT metal artifact on IMPT and VMAT plans
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-17)Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) radiation therapy has become thriving worldwide. The accuracy of proton dose calculation that based on proper modeling for each single scanning spot as well as accurate CT image data is ... -
Assessment of Snow Status Changes Using L-HH Temporal-Coherence Components at Mt. Dagu, China
(2015)Multitemporal Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) horizontally transmitted and horizontally received (HH) coherence data was decomposed into temporal-coherence, spatial-coherence, and thermal noise ... -
Assessment of Spatial Variation of Groundwater Quality in a Mining Basin
(2017-05-15)Assessment of groundwater quality is vital for the sustainable safe use of this inimitable resource. However, describing the overall groundwater quality condition—particularly in a mining basin—is more complicated due ... -
Assessment of Technical Services Workflow in an Academic Library: A Time-and-Path Study
(East Carolina University, 2005-09-02)In spring 2004, the Technical Services area at East Carolina University's Joyner Library conducted a time-and-path study of materials moving through the area from receipt until they are ready for the shelf. This study ... -
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF VICTIM WITNESS ADVOCATES TO WORK WITH ABUSED CHILDREN IN NORTH CAROLINA : AN INVESTIGATION OF THE POSSIBLE ROLE FOR CHILD LIFE IN COURTROOMS
(East Carolina University, 2013)The current study investigates education and training, duties and perceived abilities to provide support to abused children of victim witness advocates (VWA) in North Carolina. Eighty-nine VWAs participated in online ... -
Assessment of the effect of sphingosine kinase inhibitors on apoptosis,unfolded protein response and autophagy of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells; indications for novel therapeutics
(2014-09)Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is formed by the phosphorylation of sphingosine and catalysed by sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) or sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2). Sphingosine kinases play a fundamental role ... -
An assessment of the polytypic status of the Namib darkling beetles Onymacris unguicularis and Onymacris rugatipennis
(2014-12-10)The southern African beetle genus Onymacris (family Tenebrionidae) comprises 14 species, six of which are polytypic. Despite longstanding research on the physiological and behavioral adaptations of these desert beetles, ... -
