Gene Expression and the Evolution of Reduced Sexual Dimorphism in a Threespine Stickleback Color Trait
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-03)Elucidating the processes and mechanisms responsible for sexual dimorphism has been a central task for evolutionary biologists since Darwin first proposed the concept of sexual selection. However, our understanding of the ... -
Gene Expression Divergence Between Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia Guttata) Subspecies And Gene Regulation In Hybrids
(East Carolina University, 2015)Since the publication of Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of Species, birds have been important model organisms for studies regarding evolutionary processes such as sexual selection and speciation. In this study, I will ... -
GENE EXPRESSION IN RESPONSE TO MECHANICAL LOADING ON THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Many tissues in the body, especially bone, have exhibited adaptive responses to lowmagnitude, high frequency mechanical loading. However, the response of ligament to these types of mechanical loads is not well understood. ... -
General And Device-Specific Quality Of Life In Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Patients : The Impact Of Shock And Sex
(East Carolina University, 2015)Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable cardiac condition that weakens the heart and results in frequent and often life-threatening arrhythmias, requiring the placement of an ... -
Generalization of Social Skills Training on Disruptive Classroom Behavior
(East Carolina University, 2013)Children who exhibit problematic levels of disruptive behavior frequently also present with social skills deficits and poor social relationships. The degree to which children establish and maintain interpersonal relationships ... -
Generation of Pseudo-CT using Two Sets of MRI Scans for MRI-only Radiation Therapy
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-16)WWith increasing interests in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiation therapy (RT) and the emergence of MRI system integrated with the linear accelerator, a method substituting the computed tomography (CT) in ... -
Generational Differences and Predictors of Variance in Marital Attitudes among Men
(East Carolina University, 2015)The rise of cohabitation, premarital sex, childbearing outside of marriage, and a higher average age for first marriage allude to changes in the institution of marriage, and perhaps a changing society. According to a 2010 ... -
Generational Struggles and Identity Conflict among 1.5 Generation Vietnamese Americans : Finding a Middle Ground
(East Carolina University, 2012)Many post-war Vietnamese who immigrated to the United States at a young age have recently transitioned into parenthood. With this new position, these Vietnamese have begun to find themselves in the unexpected arrangement ... -
Generators of mammalian vestibular surface responses to head motion
(East Carolina University, 2012)The linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) is thought to be the compound electrical response of peripheral macular neurons and central neural relays, and as such used to directly assess macular function. The ... -
Genetic Algorithm Stream Cipher Key Generation Using NIST Functions
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)Stream ciphers are beneficial because of their efficiency, speed, and low resource utilization. However, stream ciphers are vulnerable to many attacks if they do not use strong keys for encryption and decryption. Thus, one ... -
Genetic and hypoxic effects on germline tumor development in caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)The process of differentiation of stem cells to committed, progenitor specific cell types is well studied but the reverse process of the dedifferentiation of these committed cells back to the undifferentiated state still ... -
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Genetic deletion of skeletal muscle Cox6a2 (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 6a polypeptide 2) delays regeneration in preclinical model of Peripheral Artery Disease
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-04)Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe clinical manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD). There are no current therapeutic options for CLTI outside of surgical intervention and it remains the ... -
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
(East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ... -
