NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPING FOR POLLINATORS ON EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SOLAR FARMS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Solar panel farms (SPFs) may be a part of a sustainable solution to pollinator decline and the loss of ecosystem services they provide. Some SPFs are seeking to landscape with diverse native seed mixes, which has the ...
Computational Investigation of Calcium Binding Proteins Annexin A1 and Cardiac Troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Calcium binding proteins are vital for many biological functions. Many undergo calcium induced conformation changes through sensing motifs, resulting in functional changes for the proteins. In this study computational ...
Impact of Inductive and Deductive Teaching Strategies in Art Classes
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Abstract: The purpose of this small teacher action research study was to determine if incorporating an inductive teaching strategy (concept attainment) into the teaching of art concepts affects student performance on depth ...
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Classical Maize Mutant, Polytypic1
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Polytypic1 (Pt1) is a semi-dominant mutant in maize that affects inflorescence development. To understand how Pt1 functions in development, I examined the phenotype of Pt1 mutants in multiple inbred backgrounds. Pt1 defects ...
EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)
Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ...
Cruising for Plants and Progress: Marian and David Fairchild and the Allison V. Armour Expeditions, 1925-1933
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-23)
This thesis examines the Allison V. Armour Expeditions that took place between 1925 and 1933 aboard research vessel Utowana. Led by American botanist David G. Fairchild and sponsored by philanthropist Allison V. Armour, ...
IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF BULK ROCKS AND Fe-Ti OXIDES FROM THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, SE GREENLAND
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-23)
Small, but significant fractionation of Fe isotopes occurs in high-temperature igneous rocks. Despite increasing study, the exact causes of this fractionation are still debated. Therefore, a systematic study of a complete ...
Emotional Evidence of Change: Highlanders Experiences with Glacial Retreat in Peru
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-26)
Global climate change is a phenomenon studied by some, but experienced by many. Communities in various places across the globe live with the physical and social effects of that phenomenon each day, with the most highly ...
Software Technology Maturation and Software Security
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-05)
Software technology maturation, also referred to as technology transfer, is as difficult as it is rare, mostly because of the time scale involved. Software maturation is defined as the process of taking a piece of technology ...
