Development of a Heart Motion Tracking System using Non-invasive Imaging Data
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Cardiac motion can be monitored non-invasively for the assessment of cardiovascular function by using medical imaging systems and motion tracking algorithms. Existing tracking approaches require a priori understanding of ... -
Development of a Human IFN-β Expression System using Chinese Hamster Ovarian Cells
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Two human IFN-β expression systems were derived based on the pIRES2-AcGFP1 plasmid backbone. One expression plasmid encoded human IFN-β fused to a C-terminal linker and an 8-histidine affinity chromatography tag. A second ... -
Development of a Meal Creation Tool to Assess Knowledge and Preference among Preschool Children
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Knowledge and preference towards healthful foods can help researchers better understand developing health behaviors; however, few validated tools are available to evaluate these constructs among young children. The purpose ... -
Development of a Method for the Determination of Bisphenol A in Vervet Monkey Hair using LC-MS/MS and LC-UV/Vis
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)No methods for estimating levels of anthropogenic disturbance on non-human primate (NHP) populations were identified within the literature. Such a method would allow for the assessment of human impact on NHP populations. ... -
Development of a multi-purpose proton microbeam system: irradiation of tumor cells by energetic protons at the Bragg peak
(East Carolina University, 2021-08-11)Employing ionization radiation to serve our communities has various applications in agricultural, industrial, and medical fields. The application of physics to medicine deals mainly with ionizing radiation in diagnosis and ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR FULL CHARACTERIZATION OF TURBIDITY
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)Characterization of turbid materials by determining their inherent optical properties have attracted strong research interest for potentially wide applications in fields such as material analysis and biomedical optics. The ... -

Development of a RAD-Seq Based DNA Polymorphism Identification Software, AgroMarker Finder, and Its Application in Rice Marker-Assisted Breeding
(2016-01)Abstract Rapid and accurate genome-wide marker detection is essential to the marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics studies. In this work, we developed an integrated software, AgroMarker Finder (AMF: ... -
Development of An Instrument to Assess Decision Making Among Persons With and Without Traumatic Brain Injuries
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-17)This dissertation discusses existing tools for the assessment of decision making in adolescents and young adults who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and limitations of these tools. To address these limitations, ... -
Development of an Optogenetic Tool for Targeted Sensory Hair Cell Ablation in Zebrafish
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-28)Mechanosensory hair cells convert mechanical information into neuronal signals. Mutations in the genes required for hair cell function cause deafness and lead to the degeneration of sensory hair cells. Mammals are unable ... -
Development of Computational Tools and Resources for Cotton microRNA Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2014)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs which regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional levels. miRNAs target genes for mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition based on the complementary ... -
The Development of Confederate Ship Construction : An Archaeological and Historical Investigation of Confederate Ironclads Neuse and Jackson
(East Carolina University, 2009)Southern shipbuilding in 1861 was comparable to construction throughout the United States. Confederate ships early in the war show continuity of these traditions, but beginning in 1862, wartime stimuli created a distinct ... -
Development of Fed and Starved Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) Larvae from the Roanoke River, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1986-07)Fed and unfed striped bass larvae were reared in a laboratory using ambient Roanoke River water to determine differences in growth and development. These differences were used to histologically determine the nutritional ... -
Development of Green Subcritical Water Separation Technology
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-19)Theoretically speaking, water under temperature and pressure conditions below its critical point is called subcritical water. However, the term “subcritical water” normally refers to hot water up to 374 C and pressure up ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF INTERPROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES FOLLOWING A SIMULATED HOME VISIT: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF STUDENTS’ WRITTEN REFLECTIONS
(East Carolina University, 2022-05-05)Background: Simulated learning can prepare interprofessional student teams for collaborative clinical practice through the demonstration of skills and competencies in a realistic, controlled clinical setting. The home as ... -
Development of the Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Quality Of Life Registry
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-08)Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a relatively rare form of heart failure that develops in young women in the third trimester of pregnancy or during the postpartum period. Despite its potentially devastating impact on ...
