Mechanistic Strategies of Two-component Flavin-dependent Monooxygenases Involved in Sulfur Acquisition
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-09)
All organisms require sulfur for diverse metabolic and physiological processes. Unlike mammals, bacteria are often deprived of sulfur in their natural habitat. To meet their sulfur needs, bacteria express various proteins ...
THE π-H ELIX IN FMN-DEPENDENT REDUCTASES PROMOTES OLIGOMERIC CHANGES TO COORDINATE THE MECHANISMS OF THE ALKANESULFONATE MONOOXYGENASE SYSTEMS
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-08)
Bacteria two-component flavin-dependent systems are upregulated for sulfur acquisition under sulfur limiting conditions. Two-component flavin-dependent systems are comprised of a reductase (SsuE/MsuE) that catalyzes the ...
The Effect of Volitional Fatigue on Reaction Time and Neural Activity in Concussed Individuals: A Study of Cognitive Changes Post-mTBI
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-11)
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) presents as an important public health concern in the United States, with an estimated 1.7 million people diagnosed annually (Diaz-Arrastia & Vos, 2014) and approximately 50% of all ...
Quantifying the Impact of PFAS Exposure on B Cell Development and Antibody Production
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-07)
Well over 10,000 individual synthetic chemicals have been identified as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Many are used in non-stick cooking ware, medical garments, and food packaging. Numerous PFAS are environmentally ...
MICROBIAL INFLUENCED CORROSION ON ACCOMAC, A FRESHWATER, FERROUS-HULLED SHIPWRECK: EVALUATION OF MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND COMPOSITION
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-09)
Abandoned shipwrecks are sitting at the bottom of oceans and lakes around the world, deteriorating extensively as the years pass by. Over time, however, microbial-comprised biofilm formation on these structures has resulted ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Heat Exchanger in a Solar-Assisted, Supercritical Brayton Cycle for Power Generation
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-19)
Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) has become a popular subject in sustainable energy research due to its low critical properties and enhanced operating conditions compared to previous heat transfer fluids. sCO2 power ...
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CUMULATIVE LIFETIME STRESS, COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SLEEP: THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF RESILIENCE
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-21)
Stress is multidimensional and can be labeled as acute, chronic, or cumulative. Cumulative lifetime stress encompasses the exposure to stressors occurring over the course of the lifetime, instead of focusing on a specific ...
Nature, Heart, Life: The Life and Works of Alma Mahler
(East Carolina University, 2023-06-19)
This thesis examines the early life of Austrian composer Alma Mahler (1879-1964), the conditions of fin-de-siècle Vienna, her perception in academic literature, and her surviving works. Her 1911 set, Fünf Lieder, is studied ...
7th Century Byzantine Leadership: Reevaluating Recent Scholarship on Heraclius
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-25)
This thesis examines the Roman emperor Heraclius, who rules Byzantine Rome from 610 -641CE. It will look at the military, political, and religious decisions that Heraclius made during his civil war with the usurper Phokas ...
