Math Middle-School Energizers Classroom-based Physical Activities The way teachers integrate physical activity with academic concepts
(2006)Middle School Energizers Middle School Energizers are classroom-based physical activities that integrate physical activity with academic concepts. The Middle School Energizers were developed by a team from the Activity ... -
Mathematical Analysis of Tsunami and Rogue Waves
(East Carolina University, 2012)In this thesis both forced and non-linear wave equations will be studied. Actual data from tsunami and rogue waves will be used and a signal analysis will be performed using wavelets. Main results show that a different ... -
Mathematical Aspects of Image Processing
(East Carolina University, 2014)In this thesis, image processing is explored from a mathematical point of view. After defining a digitized image, techniques for adjusting resolution are discussed. Image transformations defined on a neighborhood centered ... -
A Mathematical Model of Tumor Volume Changes during Radiotherapy
(2013)Purpose. To develop a clinically viable mathematical model that quantitatively predicts tumor volume change during radiotherapy in order to provide treatment response assessment for prognosis, treatment plan optimization, ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Oxygen Transport, Cell Killing and Cell Decision Making in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2012)In this study we present a model of in vitro cell killing through type II Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for simulation of the molecular interactions leading to cell death in time domain in the presence of oxygen transport ... -
Mathematical Techniques for the Analysis of Partial Differential Equations
(East Carolina University, 2018-04-25)This thesis explores various solution methods for partial differential equations. The heat equation, wave equation and Laplace equation are analyzed using techniques from functional analysis, Fourier series, and Fourier ... -
Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 is Critical for Granuloma Formation in the Murine Model of Granulomatous disease
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-16)Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) is a protein produced primarily by alveolar macrophages that degrades elastin in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and enables infiltration of immune cells that participate in the inflammatory ... -

(East Carolina University, 2015)The purpose of this thesis is to acquire historical and archaeological datasets for the illustration and interpretation of site formation processes affecting a World War II merchant shipwreck, and to use this data to develop ... -
Maturation and fecundity of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Rivers striped bass (morone saxatilis) stocks in coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)The Albemarle/Roanoke stock makes up the largest contingent of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the state; however, other economically important populations exist elsewhere. The Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) ... -
Maturation, Fecundity, and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle/Roanoke Striped Bass Stock
(East Carolina University, 2011)The principal striped bass, Morone saxatilis population in North Carolina, the Albemarle/Roanoke (A/R) stock has grown tremendously in size and age structure over the last twenty years necessitating an up-to-date maturity ... -
"May I Buy a Pack of Marlboros, Please?" A Systematic Review of Evidence to Improve the Validity and Impact of Youth Undercover Buy Inspections
(2016-04-06)Most smokers become addicted to tobacco products before they are legally able to pur- chase these products. We systematically reviewed the literature on protocols to assess underage purchase and their ecological validity. ... -
MC/DC COVERAGE FOR REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-02)In the early 1990s, the Modi ed Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC) criterion was suggested as a structural white-box testing approach, but it can also be used for blackbox speci cation-based testing. Practical application ... -
MCF-7 breast cancer cells transfected with protein kinase C-alpha exhibit altered expression of other protein kinase C isoforms and display a more aggressive neoplastic phenotype.
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)Increased protein kinase C (PKC) activity in malignant breast tissue and positive correlations between PKC activity and expression of a more aggressive phenotype in breast cancer cell lines suggest a role for this signal ... -
