Conservation and Expression of SNF2 Proteins in Chondrus crispus
(2014)The SNF2 families of ATP-dependent helicases are the central catalytic subunits for chromatin remodeling complexes. The most widely studied is the multisubunit SWI/SNF complex, which has been found in plants, yeast, and ... -
Conservation and Immunogenomics of the Endangered White-winged Duck
(East Carolina University, 2023-05-02)White-winged Wood Ducks (WWD) are an endangered species native to southeast Asia. Efforts to conserve the species via captive breeding have been hindered because captive populations appear to be highly susceptible to avian ... -
Conservation of Archaeological Wood using Non-Reducing sugars
(2015)In the conservation field there are many different thoughts on the best way to conserve waterlogged archaeological wood. The current method uses polyethylene glycol(PEG), a hydrophilic organic compound, to replace water ... -
Considering the Oxygen Effect : Further Development of a Volumetric Model of Tumor Response to Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2014)Mathematical modeling of tumor response to radiation therapy (RT) has great potential for designing therapy plans that are more personalized, more adaptive, and more reliable for outcome predictions. A preexisting model ... -
Conspecific brood parasitism in the tropics: an experimental investigation of host responses in common moorhens and American purple gallinules
(2011-11)Species occupying a broad latitudinal range may show greater phenotypic plasticity in behavior than species with smaller ranges or more specific habitat requirements. This study investigates for the first time the occurrence ... -
Conspecific pollen precedence and its contribution to speciation in Triodanis perfoliata
(2015)Speciation is the process by which one species diverges into two distinct species. To fully understand speciation, it is important to understand reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation, the inability of two individuals ... -
Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(East Carolina University, 2012)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ... -
Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2015-03-25)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently ... -
Constellating Identities and Workplace Genres in Writing Center Discourse
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)This study investigates the ways in which blank, written workplace genres mediate relationships and identities in the writing center. Forms developed for scheduling and recordkeeping are part of everyday practices that ... -
Construct validity of a continuous metabolic syndrome score in children
(East Carolina University, 2010-01-28)Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity of a continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS) in children. The secondary purpose was to identify a cutpoint value(s) for an adverse cMetS ... -
Construction of realistic hybrid computational fetal phantoms from radiological images in three gestational ages for radiation dosimetry applications
(2019-10-10)Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for pregnant patients who undergo radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging procedures. In order to accurately estimate the radiation ... -

A Content Analysis of Psychological Resilience Among First Responders and the General Population
(2017-03)The current study examined how first responders and the general population described the concept of resilience. Categories of resilience were coded a priori using Stemler’s content analysis. For the general population, ...
