Exploring the Usability Issues Encountered by Individuals with Visual Impairments on Social Networking Sites: Problem Description, System Evaluation and Semantic Web Solution
(East Carolina University, 2014-08-28)While social networking sites (SNSs) like Facebook are widely used and have been broadly studied, investigations of their use by individuals with visual impairments are scarce within the academic literature. Anecdotal ... -
Exploring the use and implementation of the CATT Intervention System
(East Carolina University, 2013)The aim of this thesis was to determine if the CATT Intervention System was effective in enhancing the skills of one student to prevent referral to special education and overcome learning barriers related to reading. A ... -
Exploring the Use of Integrative Therapies during Pregnancy
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Background: About 60% of women experience back pain while pregnant (Jayson, 2016). “Morning sickness” affects about 80-90% of pregnant women (Viljoen, Visser, Koen, & Musekiwa, 2014). Stress and anxiety during pregnancy ... -
Exploring the Use of the Expert Search and Scanning Skills with Novice Drivers with and Without Conditions Affecting Executive Functioning
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)This study examined the use of the computer-based assessment tool in determining relationships between scanning performance and driver characteristics. A 3 (novice drivers, early licensed drivers, experienced drivers) x ... -
AN EXPOSITION OF THE RIEMANN ZETA FUNCTION
(East Carolina University, 2014)This thesis is an exposition of the Riemann zeta function. Included are techniques of analytic continuation and relationships to special functions. Some generalizations of the Riemann zeta function are outlined, as well ... -
Exposure Control and Process Safety Of Monomers in Selected Plastics and Rubber Industries
(2018-11-21)A review of the literature of monomers was conducted that incorporates polymer science and contemporary toxicology and epidemiology studies associated with their exposures. This review, supplemented with a history of monomer ... -
Exposure to Concentrated Coarse Air Pollution Particles Causes Mild Cardiopulmonary Effects in Healthy Young Adults
(East Carolina University, 2009-07)Background: There is ample epidemiologic and toxicologic evidence that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)], which derives primarily from combustion processes, can ... -
Exposure To Elevated Prenatal Testosterone Metabolites Induce Autism-Like Behavior In Rats : Evidence For The Extreme Male Brain And Implications For Human Health
(East Carolina University, 2015)Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) originate during early brain development and are the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Disruptions in the prenatal ... -
