Modern Sedimentation And Estuarine Shoreline Change Around Roanoke Island, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)Croatan and Roanoke sounds in North Carolina (NC) are regions constantly undergoing geomorphic changes associated with sea-level rise, storm events, and anthropogenic modification. These estuaries are part of the larger ... -
Modifiable risk factors associated with disposal of unused prescription drugs by parents of adolescents
(2020-12)The safe disposal of unused medications is one primary prevention strategy to reduce nonmedical prescription drug use among adolescents. We sought to identify modifiable risk factors associated with disposal of unused ... -
MODIFICATION OF CELL SURVIVAL RATES BY CERIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES FOR EXPOSURE TO PROTON RADIATION
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Radiation therapy is a well-established and widely used treatment for a variety of malignancies in the human body. Current radiotherapy methods most frequently use x-rays to deliver a lethal dose to tumors with sufficient ... -
MODULATING MMP-9 SUBSTRATE PREFERENCE TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION POST-MI
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-08)Worldwide, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is escalating, with myocardial infarction (MI) significantly contributing to the heightened rates of morbidity and mortality. Notably, one in every four MI patients ... -
Modulation of experimental autoimmune myocarditis with cytokine-myosin fusion proteins and novel cardiac peptides
(2016-05-16)Infectious agents that induce cross-reactive myocarditic T cell responses may cause autoimmune inflammation of the heart, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and heart failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ... -
Modulation of H Reflex in Response to Voluntary Contraction of the Homologous Muscle in the Contralateral Limb
(East Carolina University, 2010)Several studies reported that exercising one limb produces gains in motor output in the same muscle of the un-exercised, contralateral limb. This phenomenon is called cross education. There are also data to suggest that ... -
Modulation of IKKβ with AMPK Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2008-11)Activation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 is necessary for proper transduction of the insulin signal. IRS-1 serine312(human)/307(rodent) phosphorylation, however, results in disruption of this signal and subsequent ... -
MOHSIN HAMID AND THE NOVEL OF GLOBALIZATION
(East Carolina University, 2014)With the rise of globalization, people and cultures are interconnected economically, culturally, and socially like never before. Where nationalism defined much of the modern period, defining how people formed social bonds ... -
Mohsin Hamid, Precarity, and the (Re)Education of Western Audiences in Post-9/11 West Asian Literature
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)This thesis explores the idea that the theory of precarity, as found throughout Judith Butler's post-9/11 essays, makes a useful tool and criticism in analyzing Mohsin Hamid's post-9/11 work to discover that one of the ... -
Molecular and Cellular Biology Animations: Development and Impact on Student Learning
(East Carolina University, 2005)Educators often struggle when teaching cellular and molecular processes because typically they have only two-dimensional tools to teach something that plays out in four dimensions. Learning research has demonstrated that ... -
Molecular and genetic analysis of the Bacteroides uniformis cephalosporinase gene, cblA, encoding the species-specific beta-lactamase.
(East Carolina University, 1994-08)The gene, cbl, encoding the species-specific, clavulanate-susceptible, endogenous cephalosporinase was cloned from Bacteroides uniforinis WAL-7088. The nucleotide sequence was determined, and the cbl structural gene was ... -
Molecular basis for the immunosuppressive action of stearic acid on T cells.
(East Carolina University, 1990-07)Studies were performed to determine the mechanism by which stearic acid (18: 0) selectively inhibits T-dependent immune responses in vitro. Incubation of mitogen-activated B and T cells with 18:0 resulted in dissimilar ... -
Molecular chaperone Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 2 (Tpr2) is essential for germline stem cell self-renewal and timely cyst divisions in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Steroid hormones influence cell proliferation and cell fate in developing and injured tissues. Although steroid hormone signaling has been well-studied, the precise mechanisms by which cells specifically receive steroid ... -
Molecular characterization of the activation domain of the HTLV-1 HBZ protein and its interaction with the KIX domain of the cellular transcriptional coactivators p300 and CBP
(East Carolina University, 2010)The complex retrovirus human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Deregulation of cellular transcription is thought to be a key event in virally-mediated T-cell ...
