EFFICACY OF EXERCISE MODALITIES IN OLDER AND ADULT MICE
(East Carolina University, 2021-05-28)As you age it is inevitable that a decrease in muscle mass will occur. This loss of muscle results in loss of functionality and strength 8. As people’s bodies become weaker, independence is lost resulting in need for ... -
The Efficacy of the Rapid Form Cervical Vacuum Immobilizer in Cervical Spine Immobilization of the Equipped Football Player
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the Rapid Form Cervical Vacuum Immobilizer in controlling the cervical spine movements of a football player wearing shoulder pads and a helmet. Design and Setting: We used a ... -
Efficiency Analysis of Women's Collegiate Athletics
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Allegations of lack of institutional control, unethical conduct and out-of-control spending by university athletic departments have prompted the necessity to investigate the efficiency of collegiate sports programs. This ... -
EGID: an ensemble algorithm for improved genomic island detection in genomic sequences
(2011)Genomic islands (GIs) are genomic regions that are originally transferred from other organisms. The detection of genomic islands in genomes can lead to many applications in industrial, medical and environmental contexts. ... -
EHR and Cost: Is "Meaningful Use" Meaningfully Reducing Health Care Costs?
(2015)The United States of America is one of the top spenders on health care per capita in the world; in 2013, we spent twice as much as France, a country known for having quality health care for its citizens (OECD, 2013). As a ... -
Eigenvalues for Sums of Hermitian Matrices
(East Carolina University, 2015)In this thesis we explore how the eigenvalues of nxn Hermitian matrices A,B relate to the eigenvalues of their sum C=A+B. We mainly focus on inequalities bounding sums of r eigenvalues for C by sums of r eigenvalues for A ... -

(2016-04)Presented at the 52nd Annual International Conference of the Associated Schools of Construction in April 2016 at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. -
Eight Years Superb Performance of a Motorcycles Race Track Pavement – A Design and Construction Review
(2016)The primary purposes of this paper are to review the special pavement design and construction activities employed in construction of the Calabogie race track after a visual conduction survey to the surface conditions and ... -
El registro geológico de la transformación ambiental de la ría de Bilbao durante el Holoceno y el Antropoceno
(San Sebastian, Spain : Sociedad de ciencias aranzadi zientzi elkartea, 2009)The northeastern coast of Spain is characterized by Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary rocks forming high cliffs interrupted by short, narrow estuaries that are separated from the open sea by sandbars, beaches and dune deposits. ... -
Elastic and inelastic light scattering from single bacterial spores in an optical trap allows the monitoring of spore germination dynamics
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)Raman scattering spectroscopy and elastic light scattering intensity (ESLI) were used to simultaneously measure levels of Ca-dipicolinic acid (CaDPA) and changes in spore morphology and refractive index during germination ... -
Electrochemical Detection of Anti-Biofilm Activity Using Unnatural Amino Acid-Containing Antimicrobial Peptides
(East Carolina University, 2015)Bacterial infections are a significant health problem that can be detrimental to the human population. It is estimated that bacterial infections are responsible for billions of dollars’ worth of damages in the health care ... -
ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF BENZO[A]PYRENE METABOLITE DNA DAMAGE : IMPLICATIONS OF NUCLEOBASE SEQUENCE AND ADDUCT STEREOCHEMISTRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)Xenobiotics are chemical compounds introduced to living organisms that originate outside the body. A well-studied xenobiotic is benzo[a]pyrene (BP), a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) primarily introduced into the body via ... -
Electrochemical Detection of Benzo[a]Pyrene-Induced DNA Damage at TP53 Oligomers : Impact of 5'-Methyl Cytosine and Bioactivation on the Genotoxicity Process
(East Carolina University, 2014)DNA houses the blueprint that dictates how an organism will develop. However, DNA features numerous reactive sites that can be attacked by chemicals and radiation, resulting in DNA damage and possibly mutations. Chemical ... -
Electrochemical Detection of DNA Methylation and Implications for Detection of Cancer Onset Resulting from Hypermethylation
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Epigenetics refers to the process by which genetic material is modified without changing the base coding sequence1. One such epigenetic process is DNA methylation, employed by cells to regulate gene expression, often by ... -
Electroencephalographic (EEG) and Personality Correlates of Anger, Hostility, and Aggression
(East Carolina University, 2014)Background: Anger, Hostility, and Aggression have been thought of as major influencing factors of numerous negative health behaviors. To date, research has focused on identifying various personality types in effort to ... -
