AlienG2 - An Automated Analysis Tool for Genome-scale Prediction of Horizontal Gene Transfer
(East Carolina University, 2013)This thesis will present a method for predicting Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events through the creation of a web-based application called AlienG2. HGT is the process of genetic exchange between distantly related ... -
Alteration of In Vivo Cellulose Ribbon Assembly by Carboxymethylcellulose and Other Polysaccharides
(East Carolina University, 1982)In vivo cellulose ribbon assembly by the Gram-negative bacterium Acetobacter xylinum can be altered by incubation in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a negatively charged water-soluble cellulose derivative, and also by ... -
AMPK regulates basal skeletal muscle capillarization and VEGF expression, but is not necessary for the angiogenic response to exercise
(East Carolina UniversityEast Carolina University, 2008-12-15)5 -AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)is a metabolic fuel sensor that monitors cellular energy charge, while the vasculature is important for maintaining cellular energy homeostasis. Mice with muscle-specific inactive AMPK ... -
Analyses of domains and domain fusions in human proto-oncogenes
(East Carolina University, 2009-03-17)Background: Understanding the constituent domains of oncogenes, their origins and their fusions may shed new light about the initiation and the development of cancers. Results: We have developed a computational pipeline ... -

(East Carolina University, 2010)The present analysis summarizes and clarifies the compositional tools and techniques employed in Donald Grantham's Baron Cimetière's Mambo (2004) and Baron Samedi's Sarbande (and Soft Shoe) (2005) in the context of their ... -
ANALYTICAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER TO INNER SHELL ELECTRONS
(East Carolina University, 2011)The Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA), the most prevalent First Born Approximation (FBA), serves as input into theories well beyond the scope of the PWBA. Using Mathematica's advanced symbolic programming capabilities ... -
Ancient Genome Duplications Did Not Structure the Human Hox-Bearing Chromosomes
(East Carolina University, 2001-05)The fact that there are four homeobox (Hox) clusters in most vertebrates but only one in invertebrates is often cited as evidence for the hypothesis that two rounds of genome duplication by polyploidization occurred early ... -
The Angel in the Garden : Recovering Elizabeth von Arnim's The Pastor's Wife
(East Carolina University, 2012)This thesis aims to examine Elizabeth von Arnim's The Pastor's Wife for two major purposes: 1) to work toward recovering von Arnim's work, which I believe to be important and worthy of critical attention, and 2) to examine ... -
