Auto-Count Symbols in Portable Document Format (PDF)
(2021-04-22)Estimating electrical costs often involves counting symbols in a PDF document. Existing software has sped up this process compared to manual counting, but there is room for further improvement. The proposed solution ... -
Autocrine production of extracellular catalase prevents apoptosis of the human CEM T-cell line in serum-free medium.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05-15)CCRF-CEM is a human T-cell line originally isolated from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At cell densities > 2 x 10 cells per ml, CEM cells grow in serum-free medium, but at lower cell densities the cultures ... -
AUTOGENIC CONTROLS ON DEBRIS-FLOW FANS WITH LIMITED ACCOMMODATION SPACE: LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS INFORMED BY A FIELD EXAMPLE
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Decades of historic levels of urbanization and expansion of the built environment on to existing alluvial fans at the periphery of most cities has placed humans at risk of floods and debris-flows that are formative processes ... -
Autolysis and Autoaggregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colony Morphology Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)Two distinctive colony morphologies were noted in a collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposon insertion mutants. One set of mutants formed wrinkled colonies of autoaggregating cells. Suppressor analysis of a subset ... -
Automated classification of massive scale image data
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-13)The diffraction image is a useful method to facilitate the representation of tiny entities such as the cell. It provides an efficient way to analyze the 3D morphological features of biological cells. However, the ... -
Automated Dental Aesthetics with Machine Learning
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-06)While dentures contribute an important role in restoring the dental and facial structure, facial aesthetics are an equally important consideration during the restoration of a patient with missing upper, lower, or both upper ... -
Automated Pavement Condition Assessment using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-27)Assessing pavement condition is extremely essential in any effort to reduce future economic losses and improve the structural reliability and resilience. Data resulting from pavement condition assessment are used as a ... -
Automated Usability Evaluations using Client Side Usability Framework (CSUF)
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)Usability of a website is essential in order for a company to achieve its business goals. Evaluating a website for usability and accessibility is costly and time consuming primarily because it involves usability experts ... -
Automatic quantitative analysis of morphology of apoptotic HL-60 cells
(2014-01)Morphological identification is a widespread procedure to assess the presence of apoptosis by visual inspection of the morphological characteristics or the fluorescence images. The procedure is lengthy and results are ... -
Automatic segmentation of cardiac structures for breast cancer radiotherapy
(2019-11-22)Background and purpose We developed an automatic method to segment cardiac substructures given a radiotherapy planning CT images to support epidemiological studies or clinical trials looking at cardiac disease endpoints ... -
Automatic SQL query generation
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)Automatic generation of questions for learning assessment has been an area of research interest for long. The advent of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as well as the goal of providing immediate contextualized feedback ... -
Automobility, Hospitality, African American Tourism, and Mapping Victor H. Green's Negro Motorist Green Book
(East Carolina University, 2013)Victor Green's travel guide stands as one illustration of tools used by African Americans to survive in the contested and disputed landscape of Jim Crow segregation. The Green Book as a symbol of the civil rights movement ... -
Autopsy Standardized Mortality Review: A Pilot Study Offering a Methodology for Improved Patient Outcomes
(2019-02-12)A standardized mortality review of hospital autopsies identified discrepancies between clinical diagnoses and autopsy findings, unexpected deaths, adequacy of diagnostic workup, presence of adverse event, and type of a ... -
Avoid the "Southern Diet"??? What Really??
(2020)As far as eating patterns go, the southern diet is often viewed as synonymous with poor food choices. But is it really? How do we know? When attempting to balance patient beliefs, habits, and cultural norms with best ... -

Axial Shear Modulus of A Fiber-Reinforced Composite with Random Fiber Cross-Sections
(1981-04-14)A study is made of the effective axial shear modulus of a fiber reinforced material with random fiber cross-sections so that the micromechanics is governed by stochastic differential equations. A coarse-graining procedure ... -
AZULENE/ALDEHYDE ASSOCIATION: AN ANALOG FOR DAMAGED DNA DETECTION
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-14)Loss of a nucleic acid base from DNA can leave behind a reactive aldehyde group on ribose. To detect the presence of such “abasic sites,” ethyl-2-aminoazulene-1-carboxylate, a novel azulene-based analog of guanine/adenine, ... -
