Bichir HoxA Cluster Sequence Reveals Surprising Trends in Ray-Finned Fish Genomic Evolution
(East Carolina University, 2004-01)
The study of Hox clusters and genes provides insights into the evolution of genomic regulation of development. Derived ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii, Teleostei) such as zebrafish and pufferfish possess duplicated Hox ...
The AraC-Like Transcriptional Regulator DhbR Is Required for Maximum Expression of the 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Brucella abortus 2308 in Response to Iron Deprivation
(East Carolina University, 2008-03)
Phenotypic evaluation of isogenic mutants derived from Brucella abortus 2308 indicates that the AlcR homolog DhbR (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid [2,3-DHBA] biosynthesis regulator) modulates the expression of the genes involved ...
Physical Activity, Academic Performance, and Physical Self-Description in Adolescent Females
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Despite the many health benefits of being physically active, nearly a quarter of U.S. adults and adolescents report no participation in leisure-time physical activity. It is recommended that children and adolescents ...
The Questions of High School Students with Learning Disabilities About Attending College
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Students with learning disabilities currently comprise the largest number of students with disabilities in the public schools. Despite this, very few of them go on to attend a four-year postsecondary institution. Because ...
Research and Practice in Academic Libraries: A Case Study
(2001)
In recent decades, as academic librarians have achieved tenure-track or even special faculty status, a growing professional consensus has emerged that they should uphold this status by actively engaging in research and ...
Recurrence and Plasticity in Evolved Neural Controllers
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Among the more important applications of evolutionary neurocontrollers is the development of systems that are able to dynamically adapt to a changing environment. While traditional approaches to control system design demand ...
Comparison of the exoS Gene and Protein Expression in Soil and Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2001-04)
Exoenzyme S (ExoS) is translocated into eukaryotic cells by the type III secretory process and has been hypothesized to function in conjunction with other virulence factors in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ...
Comparative genomics of cyclin-dependent kinases suggest co-evolution of the RNAP II C-terminal domain and CTD-directed CDKs
(East Carolina University, 2004-09-20)
Background: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a large family of proteins that function in a variety of key regulatory pathways in eukaryotic cells, including control over the cell cycle and gene transcription. Among the ...
Chronic low-frequency rTMS of primary motor cortex diminishes exercise training-induced gains in maximal voluntary force in humans
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Although there is consensus that the central nervous system mediates the increases in maximal voluntary force (maximal voluntary contraction, MVC) produced by resistance exercise, the involvement of the primary motor cortex ...
Changes in muscle strength, muscle fibre size and myofibrillar gene expression after immobilization and retraining in humans
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)
1. Changes in muscle strength, vastus lateralis fibre characteristics and myosin heavychain (MyoHC) gene expression were examined in 48 men and women following 3 weeks of knee immobilization and after 12 weeks of retraining ...
