Investigations into the Oldest Standing Structure in North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)In 2010, Steven and Linda Lane purchased 304 East Queen Street, Edenton, North Carolina. While renovating the structure they discovered that it was much older than previously thought. The results of a dendrochronology ... -
Investigations into the roles of bacteroides fragilis thioredoxins during the oxidative stress response
(East Carolina University, 2011)The Gram-negative Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequently isolated bacterium from anaerobic infections. Native to the human intestinal tract, it serves a symbiotic role breaking down complex polysaccharides and ... -
Investigations of the Brevard Fault zone and Tugaloo Terrane adjacent to the Grandfather Mountain Window, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-24)The Brevard Fault Zone adjacent to the Grandfather Mountain window, NC is interpreted to be a terrane boundary between Laurentian margin rocks and accreted rocks of the Tugaloo Terrane. Structural, geochemical, and ... -
The involvement of cap-independent mRNA translation in cell fate decisions
(East Carolina University, 2014)During cell stress many biochemical processes are shut down. For example, global mRNA translation initiation is inhibited due to the disruption of the cap-dependent mRNA recruitment mechanism. One specific example of ... -
Ion Traffic Across Cellular Membranes
(East Carolina University, 2010)The cell membrane protects the delicate internal machinery of the cell and hosts a complex transport system for ion exchange with the environment. Energy is continually expended to maintain a transmembrane electrical ... -
Ionian Revolt, Reconsidered
(East Carolina University, 2010)In the scope of historical events recorded by Herodotus, no event has been more pivotal in capturing the relationship between the mainland and Ionian Greeks and their enemy, and at times supporter, Persian Empire than the ... -
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 ... -
The iron response regulator Irr controls iron homoeostasis in Brucella
(East Carolina University, 2014)Members of the genus Brucella are small, Gram-negative intracellular bacterial pathogens that are capable of infecting a wide range of mammalian hosts including humans. Brucella primarily reside inside of host macrophages. ... -
Irredundant and Mixed Ramsey Numbers
(East Carolina University, 2013)The irredundant Ramsey number, s(m,n), is the smallest p such that in every two-coloring of the edges of K[subscript]p using colors red (R) and blue (B), either the blue subgraph contains an m-element irredundant set or ... -
IS PREDATION BY TURTLES SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO AFFECT BIODIVERSITY WITHIN FISHLESS PONDS?
(East Carolina University, 2011)Ecologists have long known that predation can have a strong effect on the diversity and abundance of prey in ecological communities. Much evidence on the importance of predation in aquatic systems has stemmed from studies ... -
Is the whole story of coastal change being told by 2D shoreline erosion rates?
(East Carolina University, 2022-08-18)Shoreline location has often been gathered from orthoimagery to assess the 2D planimetric erosion or accretion and thereby is used as proxy for coastal evolution and to manage coastal environments. Missing in the 2D measures ... -

Is there a solution to climate change?
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)This document supports my Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition consisting of two digital prints, ten lithographs, vinyl text corresponding to each print and 5 stickers with listed references, in the SOAD gallery. The ... -
Is this Ship Covered?: The Intersection of Law, Geography, and Management of Sunken Military Craft
(East Carolina University, 2019-12-10)The legal framework protecting historic shipwrecks and other underwater cultural heritage in the United States is largely fragmented and not always effective. Factors that may influence the legal protection afforded a ...
