Gender Differences in Aerobic and Work Capacity During Plantar Flexion Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is lower in females compared to males during traditional whole body, systemic exercise. These differences in VO2max between men and women are still present even after correcting for ...
Libraries and Print Culture in Early North Carolina
(2005-07)
Print culture in colonial North Carolina was more robust than most people think. Early North Carolinians soon built up their private collections into sometimes substantial libraries. Studying print through the agency of ...
Design Considerations for Virtual Classroom and Laboratory Environments
(2009-06)
With the ever-increasing demand for distance education one of the key challenges facing faculty is not only delivering effective instruction through both lecture-style and laboratory means, but also giving students an ...

(East Carolina University, 2006-01)
Good Medicine and Good Music: The Virtual Life of Mrs. Joe Person at East Carolina University
(East Carolina University, 2004)
Tells about a digital exhibit celebrating the life of North Carolina patent medicine entrepreneur and folk musician Alice Person.
Convergent evolution of bright coloration and toxicity in frogs

An Extensive New Literature Concerning Low-Dose Effects of Bisphenol A Shows the Need for a New Risk Assessment
(East Carolina University, 2005-08)
Bisphenol A (BPA) is the monomer used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic, the resin lining of cans, and other products, with global capacity in excess of 6.4 billion lb/year. Because the ester bonds in these BPA-based ...
Effect of Acute Exercise or Fasting on Mitochondrial Function and High Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance
(East Carolina University, 2009)
A high-fat diet leads to an accumulation of lipid in skeletal muscle, and the development of both mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. Recently, our lab reported that lipid overload leads to elevated ...
Muscles do more positive than negative work in human locomotion
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)
Muscle work during level walking and ascent and descent ramp and stairway walking was assessed in order to explore the proposition that muscles perform more positive than negative work during these locomotion tasks. Thirty ...
How do low horizontal forces produce disproportionately high torques in human locomotion?
(East Carolina University, 2008)
Although horizontal ground forces are only ~15% of vertical forces, they account for 47% and 33% of the metabolic cost in walking and running. To explain these disproportionately high metabolic costs we hypothesized that ...
