Comparison of identifications of human and animal source gram-negative bacteria by API 20E and crystal E/NF systems.
(East Carolina University, 1997-01)This study compared the abilities of API 20E and BBL Crystal E/NF identification systems to correctly identify human and animal source gram-negative bacilli of known identifications, as provided by the American Type Culture ... -
A Comparison of Lean and Obese Gait Characteristics of Children and Adults During Level Walking
(East Carolina University, 2010)Increased body mass affects gait kinematics and kinetics in adults. It is however unknown if increased body mass produces similar adaptations in children and adults. The duration of obesity in children is shorter than ... -
Comparison of Mental Health between First-Year College Students Residing in Living-Learning Communities and Traditional On-Campus Housing
(East Carolina University, 2013)Mental health concerns such as stress, college adjustment, and symptoms of anxiety and depression increase during college. Living Learning Communities (LLCs) have become more prevalent on college campuses and are an ... -
Comparison of Mitochondrial Phenotypes Across Cancers with Different Tissues of Origin
(East Carolina University, 2021-12-06)Cancer metabolism is typically characterized by aerobic glycolysis, an increase in glucose uptake and lactate production despite adequate sufficient oxygen availability to support mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ... -
A COMPARISON OF MOTIVATION OF AN EARLY ALERT SYSTEM IN K-12 AND HIGHER EDUCATION
(2015)The effects of early alert systems on student motivation in K-12 and higher education are examined throughout this paper. The two early alert systems studied are Starfish™, which is designed to inform students of academic ... -
Comparison of Nasalance in Spanish-Speaking Bilinguals and English-Speaking Monolinguals Living in Eastern North Carolina: A Preliminary Investigation
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-14)The purpose of this study was to obtain preliminary nasalance (percentage of air resonated in the nasal cavity) data for typically developing, Spanish-speaking bilinguals living in NC. A secondary aim was to determine ... -
Comparison of non-invasive to invasive oxygenation ratios for diagnosing acute respiratory distress syndrome following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a prospective derivation-validation cohort study
(2018-11-27)Objective: To determine if non-invasive oxygenation indices, namely peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2)/ fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi O2) and partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PAO2)/Fi O2 may be used as ... -
Comparison of Online and Face-to-Face Physical Activity Courses on Undergraduates' Physical Activity Levels and Constructs of Self-Determination Theory
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-19)Regular physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and can positively impact mental well-being, cognitive abilities, and academic performance. Public health recommendations state ... -
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 ... -
Comparison of Scaled vs. Ultrasound Based Musculoskeletal Models on Knee Muscle Moments During Single-Leg Squatting
(East Carolina University, 2012)Muscles produce force, resulting in moments about a joint, causing movement of the body. Muscle forces are estimated with a Hill-type model incorporating four parameters; optimal fiber length (OFL), tendon slack length, ... -
Comparison of Stance Phase Knee Joint Angles and Moments Using Two Different Surface Marker Representations of the Proximal Shank in Walkers and Runners
(2013)Efforts to compare different surface marker configurations in 3-dimensional motion analysis are warranted as more complex and custom marker sets become more common. At the knee, different markers can been used to represent ... -
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ... -
Comparison Of The Mismatch Negativity and A Differential Waveform Response
(East Carolina University, 2005)A mismatch negativity response (MMN) and a new differential waveform were derived in an effort to evaluate a neural refractory or recovery effect in adult listeners. The MMN was elicited using oddball test runs in which ... -
Comparison of tolerance characteristics in the guinea pig following chronic in-vivo exposure to opioid versus cannabinoid receptor agonists
(East Carolina University, 2010)Few studies have compared the nature of tolerance that develops following chronic in vivo opioid treatment with that which develops after chronic cannabinoid exposure in the same tissue and species. Based on similarities ...
