A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODELS IMPACTING STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
(East Carolina University, 2011)
This study analyzed the impact of professional development on student achievement in eastern North Carolina high schools. The high schools studied were consistent in their student enrollment, teacher staff size, and ...
Oceanic loading of wildfire-derived organic compounds from a small mountainous river
(2008)
Small mountainous rivers (SMRs) export substantial amounts of sediment into the world's oceans. The concomitant yield of organic carbon (OC) associated with this class of rivers has also been shown to be significant and ...
Influence of Thigh Muscle Forces on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Forces during Single-Leg Landing from Three Different Heights
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year amounting to billions of dollars being spent on the ACL annually. While the quadriceps muscle produces an anterior shear force on the tibia that ...
Assessment of Technical Services Workflow in an Academic Library: A Time-and-Path Study
(East Carolina University, 2005-09-02)
In spring 2004, the Technical Services area at East Carolina University's Joyner Library conducted a time-and-path study of materials moving through the area from receipt until they are ready for the shelf. This study ...
Microbial Carbon Assimilation within the Walls of Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Chimneys
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Carbon is one of the most abundant elements on Earth stored in a multitude of reservoirs and constantly cycled through various processes occurring on our planet. Although it represents only a small percentage of the total ...
Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2011)
DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ...
Effect of Versican G1 Domain Overexpression on Hyaluronan, Hyaluronidase-2, and Synovial Joint Formation in the Embryonic Chick
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Versican, an extracellular chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan which binds hyaluronan, has been hypothesized to play a role in synovial joint formation in the chick embryo. Several studies have shown versican to be involved ...
Lateral Gene Transfer between Bacteria and Trichoderma reesei
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) has played an important role in shaping the `tree of life'. It has promoted evolution by generating gene redundancies, which allow for more freedom in terms of allowed mutations in a genome, ...
A New Approach to Communications Management Planning Through 3D Web and Semantic Web Technologies
(2011-09)
Communication management plans are used to determine not only who needs what information but also how that information will be collected and transmitted. Now two evolving technologies are looking to drive project planners ...
Tactical reproductive parasitism via larval cannibalism in Peruvian poison frogs
(East Carolina University, 2009-04-23)
We report an unusual example of reproductive parasitism in amphibians. Dendrobates variabi- lis, an Amazonian poison frog, oviposits at the surface of the water in small pools in plants and deposits tadpoles within the ...
