Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants
(2014)
Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product ...
An Analysis of Dietary Habits of Young Adults Seeking Weight Loss and the Feasibility of a Modified Monitoring System Using Mobile Technology in Young Adults
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)
With rates of overweight and obesity at the highest in recorded history, for the first time, it is expected that obese young adults will have a significantly lessened life expectancy compared to their non-obese counterparts ...
Alkaloid defenses of co-mimics in a putative Müllerian mimetic radiation
(2014)
Background
Polytypism in aposematic species is unlikely according to theory, but commonly seen in nature. Ranitomeya imitator is a poison frog species exhibiting polytypic mimicry of three congeneric model species (R. ...
THE SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PHOSPHORESCENT CYCLOMETALATED N^N^C-COORDINATED PLATINUM COMPLEXES
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
Phosphorescent materials based on cyclometalated platinum complexes have attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential in chemical, biological and optoelectronic applications, specifically as emitters in ...
Back-Barrier Sediment and Hydrodynamic Processes: Insights from Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
Barrier islands are found around the world, and their geomorphic evolution is related to ocean and estuarine processes. Processes including sediment mobilization and shoreline evolution on both the ocean and estuarine side ...
Investigating the role of CRL5, an ubiquitin ligase, in ovarian follicle development.
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
During oogenesis, follicle cells surround maturing oocytes, which produce factors necessary for proper oocyte growth and development. Correct encapsulation of the oocyte by follicle cells is therefore essential for ...
Comparing Pecha Kucha and Traditional Methods in Occupational Safety Training
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
Recently, speculation has begun developing amongst researchers in terms of the effectiveness of training program presentations as well as their ability to educate learners. This is due to a number of reasons given from ...
The Needs of Military-Connected Students within the North Carolina Public School System
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
The present study assessed how the mental health needs of military-connected students are addressed within public schools in the state of North Carolina, particularly how aware and comfortable school staff are regarding ...
AN ANALYSIS OF A STONE ARTIFACT CACHE FROM THE SHELOR SITE (31MG2051) IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
Prehistoric artifact cache discoveries are poorly understood archaeological phenomena. A few such occurrences consisting of groups of stone artifacts buried in forgotten underground pits are known in North Carolina. This ...
A NEW ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY SYSTEM FOR MEASURING ELECTRON EMISSION FROM FAST ION INTERACTIONS WITH ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, AND CONDENSED PHASE TARGETS
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
A new electron spectroscopy system has been developed for measuring electron emission from gas and solid targets induced by fast ion impact. This system uses an ultrahigh-vacuum compatible cylindrical deflector analyzer, ...
