Toward Relational Craft
(East Carolina University, 2011)This thesis report contends with the contemporary context of studio craft here in the USA. Studio craft is predicated on habits of a modern world, and the political and economic relations comprising our social landscape ... -
TOWARDS A LOW-COST VISION SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME PAVEMENT CONDITION ASSESSMENT
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-22)Pavement condition assessment is typically performed through manual inspections and specialized hardware and software. Although advances in camera and sensing technology in the last decade helped propel the automation of ... -
Towards a Method for the Analysis of Experimental Music
(East Carolina University, 2014)This paper discusses the nature of experimental music, its reception, and suggests a method for its analysis. It gives a definition for this body of music and traces its historical development. A continuum is constructed ... -
TOWARDS A MODEL FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF CULTURAL VALUES IN HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS: DISCOURSES OF FOOD AND HEALTH IN THE APPALACHIANS
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Health outcomes from food-related issues are particularly poor in Appalachian regions; obesity, malnutrition, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease are prevalent. Recognizing that "old" and "new" Appalachian culture ... -
Towards Big Data Infrastructure for Historic Handwritten Document Transcription
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Historical archival documents are vast and contain many thousands of pages of unstructured data, often not easily searchable. The current state of the art is searchable meta-tags of documents which help a reader to land ... -
Towards Establishing Methods of Synthesis, Purification, and Structural Determination for Human Fibrinogen
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Fibrinogen is a prevalent blood-based glycoprotein. In its polymerizable form, fibrin, it serves as the structural component of blood clots and helps to incorporate red blood cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts to the ... -
Towards measuring resilience of flood-prone communities: a conceptual framework

(East Carolina University, 2016-12-15)Chlorpyrifos is a commonly utilized organophosphate pesticide, and as recently as 2007, was the most commonly used insecticide within the United States. Its ubiquity is concerning given its potential to cause developmental ... -
Toxic Metal Interactions with Human Cardiac Troponin C and Cysteine Replacement Mutants: Investigating Potential Cd(II) Binding to Cysteine Thiols Using DTNB Time Course Assays
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-26)Calcium binding proteins contribute to all aspects of cell function by binding to calcium directly. Human Cardiac Troponin C (hcTnC) belongs to the EF-hand family of calcium binding proteins. This specific protein is ... -
TOXICITY OF METAL OXIDE NANOPARTICLES TO CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2012)The increase in manufacturing and use of nanoparticles is expected to elevate levels of exposure to humans and other organisms. Presently, there is little understanding of the potential toxic effects of nanoparticle exposure. ... -
TOXIFY: a deep learning approach to classify animal venom proteins
(2019-06-28)In the era of Next-Generation Sequencing and shotgun proteomics, the sequences of animal toxigenic proteins are being generated at rates exceeding the pace of traditional means for empirical toxicity verification. To ... -
Traces of embryogenesis are the same in monozygotic and dizygotic twins: not compatible with double ovulation
(East Carolina University, 2009-06)Common knowledge of over a century has it that monozygotic and dizygotic twinning events occur by unrelated mechanisms: monozygotic twinning ‘splits’ embryos, producing anomalously re-arranged embryogenic asymmetries; ... -
