Baby Monitor consists of twelve essays and nine journal entries about my new experience of motherhood and the first year and half of my first child, Benjamin's life. The essays and journal entries range from a mother's ...
Analysis of Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Circular Dichroism (CD) and Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopies measure the difference in absorption between left and right circularly polarized light and parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized light as a function ...
The Effect of Teacher Modeling on Reading Behaviors, Fluency and Comprehension
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an intervention aimed at increasing time on task during silent sustained reading periods, teacher modeling, on reading fluency and comprehension scores in fifth grade ...
Interaction cross sections needed for simulation of secondary electron emission spectra from thin metal foils after fast proton impact
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Monte Carlo simulations of secondary electron emission from thin metal foils after fast proton impact require reliable interaction cross sections with the target under consideration. Total and energy differential inelastic ...
Diophantine Generation, Galois Theory, and Hilbert's Tenth Problem
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Hilbert's Tenth Problem was a question concerning existence of an algorithm to determine if there were integer solutions to arbitrary polynomial equations over the integers. Building on the work by Martin Davis, Hilary ...
WAVES OF CARNAGE : A HISTORICAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL, AND GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC IN NORTH CAROLINA WATERS
(East Carolina University, 2010)
By the end of World War II, the waters of North Carolina were littered with the hulks of merchant vessels and German U-boats as well as the bodies of sailors from many different nationalities. This wreckage and loss of ...
Crucial Factors for the Recovery and Conservation of an Archaeological Ship
(East Carolina University, 2012)
What factors determine the successful recovery and concentration of a full archaeological ship? While an article by G.D. van der Heide provides guidelines for recovery, he offers no analysis to explain why his issues are ...
FLOATING FORTRESS, FLOATING CITY, FLOATING MONUMENT: A COMPARITIVE [sic] STUDY OF THREE AMERICAN WARSHIP MUSEUMS
(East Carolina University, 2011)
This thesis presents three warship museums within the United States as case studies to examine the needs and practices of a unique subset of museum organizations. A museum warship is simultaneously an exhibit, artifact, ...
Perfluorooctanoic acid-induced developmental cardiotoxicity in an avian model
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical used in polyfluormer production. It is a widespread environmental contaminant and is known to induce developmental toxicity in rodent models. As several related compounds ...
Structural aging of the utricular macula in mice
(East Carolina University, 2012)
CBA/CaJ is a mouse strain that has no known genetic mutations affecting the inner ear, thereby serving as a control model for auditory and vestibular aging. C57BL/6J and CE/J mouse strains carry the genetic mutation ...
