Investigation of possible driving forces on counter-intuitive thermal collapse of intrinsically disordered proteins
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
Intrinsically disordered proteins are an emerging class of proteins that contain no secondary or tertiary structure. Through bioinformatics studies it has been predicted that a third of the human proteome consists of ...
Effect of previous hamstring strain on Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) forces
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are very common in the athletic population. While the hamstring muscles help protect the ACL, hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are also common in sports. After HSI, ...
Optimizing graphene oxide reduction via laser irradiation
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-04)
The present report discusses a single step method to reduce graphene oxide via laser irradiation. A computer numerically controlled laser engraver equipped with a 450nm laser diode was engineered to conduct this research. ...
Semantic Knowledge Use in Different Discourse Types
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Semantic knowledge is an individual’s internal representations of a given object. In turn, semantic memory relates to the general knowledge and memory systems an individual uses for understanding concepts. Concepts are ...
The Binaural Advantage for Speech Recognition in Noise Ability
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Pure tone threshold testing has been considered the “gold standard” for hearing ability in the global sense. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a pure tone threshold average (for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4,000 ...
AN INVESTIGATIVE STUDY OF THE NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF SUBJECTIVE SLEEP QUALITY
(East Carolina University, 2016-12-06)
Background: Disordered sleep is a national health issue affecting an estimated 50-70 million US adults. The documented consequences of disordered sleep include impaired daily function, increased risk for chronic health ...
The mismatch between current statistical practice and doctoral training in ecology
(2016-08-17)
Ecologists are studying increasingly complex and important issues such as climate change and ecosystem services. These topics often involve large data sets and the application of complicated quantitative models. We evaluated ...
Exposure to Heat Stress, Solar Ultraviolet Radiation and Other Occupational Health Hazards Among Groundskeepers at East Carolina University
(2016-09-26)
Groundskeepers work most of the year outdoors, performing physically demanding duties. The amount of time spent working outdoors exposes groundskeepers to various hazards including physical hazards (hot temperatures, cold ...

Relation of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism to behavioral activation, behavioral inhibition, and heart rate variability
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
Background: Recent research has indicated that different subtypes of perfectionism are differentially related to stress, coping, and psychophysiology, with individuals who exhibit higher levels of maladaptive perfectionism ...
