Electron Emission from Foils and Biological Materials after Proton Impact
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)
Electron emission spectra from thin metal foils with thin layers of water frozen on them (amorphous solid water) after fast proton impact have been measured and have been simulated in liquid water using the event-by-event ...
The North Carolina Outer Banks Barrier Islands: A Field Trip Guide to the Geology, Geomorphology, and Processes
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Quantifying Double-Strand Breaks and Clustered Damages in DNA by Single-Molecule Laser Fluorescence Sizing
(East Carolina University, 2003-02)
Fluorescence from a single DNA molecule passing through a laser beam is proportional to the size (contour length) of the molecule, and molecules of different sizes can be counted with equal efficiencies. Single-molecule ...
Levels of Ca2+-Dipicolinic Acid in Individual Bacillus Spores Determined Using Microfluidic Raman Tweezers
(East Carolina University, 2007-07)
Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid [DPA]) in a 1:1 chelate with calcium ion (Ca-DPA) comprises 5 to 15% of the dry weight of spores of Bacillus species. Ca-DPA is important in spore resistance to many ...
Variables That May Enhance Medical Students' Perceived Preparedness for Computer-based Testing
(East Carolina University, 2000-09)
Objective: To identify variables that may enhance medical student’s
preparedness for computer-based administration of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Design: A cross-sectional survey of 301 medical ...
Interaction cross sections needed for simulation of secondary electron emission spectra from thin metal foils after fast proton impact
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Monte Carlo simulations of secondary electron emission from thin metal foils after fast proton impact require reliable interaction cross sections with the target under consideration. Total and energy differential inelastic ...
Teager-Kaiser Operator improves the accuracy of EMG onset detection independent of signal-to-noise ratio
(East Carolina University, 2008)
A temporal analysis of electromyographic (EMG) activity has widely been used for non-invasive study of muscle activation patterns. Such an analysis requires robust methods to accurately detect EMG onset. We examined whether ...
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 ...
Family Interactions Among African American Prostate Cancer Survivors
(East Carolina University, 2008-07)
Prostate cancer affects African Americans at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in the United States. Prostate cancer does not only affect the man with the disease but also affects those individuals who are closest ...
Comparative Analysis of Cask Material from Late Sixteenth Through Early Nineteenth Century Shipwrecks
(East Carolina University, 2009)
This thesis examined cask material, including cask staves, heads, hoops, bungs and other components that casks consist of, recovered from 13 eighteenth century, three nineteenth century, one seventeenth, and two sixteenth ...
