The first part of this thesis systematically reviews the trend of researches conducted from 2011 to 2018 in terms of challenges and problems regarding developing a recommendation system, areas of application, proposed ...
(Un)Becoming
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-17)
This document provides written support for the thesis exhibition, (Un)Becoming. The body of work uses taxidermy and specimen collection techniques to explore the relationship between the Westward Expansion of the late 19th ...
THE MECHANISTIC TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (mTOR) AND ITS COMPLEX 1 ASSOCIATED PROTEIN RPTOR ARE GERM CELL-AUTONOMOUSLY REQUIRED FOR SPERMATOGONIAL DEVELOPMENT & CHAPTER IV: INVESTIGATING CHANGES IN THE TESTICULAR TRANSCRIPTOME DURING THE PROSPERMATOGONIAL TRANSITION
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-26)
Stem, progenitor, and differentiating spermatogonia are formed in the neonatal mouse testis, and they provide the foundation for spermatogenesis and life-long fertility. Currently, the factors that regulate these varying ...
Metabolic Disease in Subadult Skeletal Remains from Late Ottoman-Era Tell Hisban, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-25)
The site of Tell Hisban in Jordan was seasonally occupied by nomadic agropastoral tribes for over a thousand years. In the latter half of the 1800s, the Ottoman Empire instituted the Tanzimat, a series of reforms intended ...
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 ...
THE EFFECT OF AMP DEAMINASE 3 DEFICIENCY ON POST-MYOCARDIAL INFARCT FUNCTIONAL AND HISTOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN MICE
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-17)
PURPOSE: Humans deficient in the metabolic enzyme AMP deaminase 3 have improved survival and clinical outcomes in cases of revascularization, myocardial infarction, and/or heart failure. Because of the nature of this ...
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 ...
