MEASURING GEOSPATIALLY EXPLICIT PERCEPTIONS OF SUDANESE ETHNIC GROUP LOCATIONS : A COMPARISON OF SUBJECT-MATTER-EXPERTS AND ONLINE DATA
(East Carolina University, 2013)The geospatial perceptions of Sudan and South Sudan subject-matter-experts (SMEs) regarding the location of Sudanese ethnic groups were collected and analyzed, in order to determine how to synthesize and gain meaning from ... -
Measuring Importance, Performance, and Frequency of Green Initiatives among North Carolina Bed and Breakfast Operators: A Pilot Study
(East Carolina University, 2013)A bed and breakfast (B&B) is a house or small hotel where someone can rent a room for a price that includes breakfast the next morning (Bed and Breakfast, 2012). According to Tsai (2008), green hotels are lodging facilities ... -
Measuring Individual Muscle Force Using Ultrasound Elastography and Motion Capture
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-04)Human musculature is over-determined so that one muscle could complete a movement that we make using several. For example, the biceps brachii is an agonist muscle for both elbow flexion and supination of the forearm. In ... -
MEASURING LEADERSHIP ROUNDING PERFORMANCE IN A HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT USING REAL TIME LOCATION SYSTEMS
(East Carolina University, 2015)Among the major industries, healthcare accounts for over ten percent of jobs today and is continuing to grow per the surges of baby boomers requiring more care, rising costs in medicine and equipment, and current legislative ... -
MEASURING PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS : ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN A TWO-WAY IMMERSION PROGRAM
(East Carolina University, 2014)School districts across the country are implementing bilingual education models such as two-way immersion, also known as dual language programs. The goals of two-way immersion programs are to assist students to obtain high ... -
Measuring the Ecosystem Impacts of Commercial Shrimp Trawling and Other Fishing Gear in Core Sound, North Carolina Using Ecological Network Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2012)The impacts of commercial trawling are well documented, especially alteration of benthic environments, removal of targeted and by-catch species, and alteration of food webs. I investigated and modeled the impacts of shrimp ... -

(East Carolina University, 2022-05-04)The purpose of this study is to assess the filtration efficiency of different face covering materials in comparison to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-approved N95 respirator. This ... -
Measuring Workplace Discrimination among Sexual and Gender Minority Workers
(2019-11-01)As inequities in health for sexual and gender minority (SGM; eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender [LGBT]) populations become increasingly well documented, it is important to investigate causes of inequities to ... -
Mechanism for Improved Insulin Sensitivity after Gastric Bypass Surgery
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)Context: Surgical treatments of obesity have been shown to induce rapid and prolonged improvements in insulin sensitivity. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of gastric bypass surgery and the ... -
Mechanism of a Metal Catalyzed Reaction from a Computational Quantum Mechanical Perspective
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-02)A recent study reported an innovative approach to the synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug, Clinprost. The authors found that the introduction of a palladium catalyst into the reaction scheme helped reduce the overall ... -
Mechanisms controlling the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by liver stem cells
(East Carolina University, 2007-03-06)The mechanisms underlying stem cell acquisition of a cardiac phenotype are unresolved. We studied early events during the acquisition of a cardiac phenotype by a cloned adult liver stem cell line (WB F344) in a cardiac ... -
Mechanisms for central cannabinoid receptor 1 evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response in conscious rats
(East Carolina University, 2010)The main goal of the current study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms implicated in central cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R)-evoked sympathoexcitation/pressor response. In pursuit of this goal, the candidate first ... -
Mechanisms Involved in the Cerebrovascular Dilator Effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate in Cerebral Cortex
(East Carolina University, 2007-11)Glutamate and its synthetic analogues N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA) are potent dilator agents in the cerebral circulation. The close linkage between ... -
Mechanisms of germ cell development in Drosophila oogenesis.
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Germ cell development requires interplay between factors that control cell fate and division. Early in their development, germ cells are an interconnected group of mitotically dividing cells. Key regulatory events then ...
