EQUITY WARRIORS: BUILDING PRINCIPAL CAPACITY TO ENACT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP
(East Carolina University, 2023-04-21)
The purpose of this participatory action research (PAR) study was to examine the extent to which elementary school leaders enacted culturally responsive school leadership (CRSL) practices with the ultimate goal of serving ...
STRUCTURE-FUNCTION ANALYSIS OF A FAMILY OF BORRELIAL C1r INHIBITORS FROM LYME DISEASE AND RELAPSING FEVER SPIROCHETES
(East Carolina University, 2023-06-01)
The complement system is an ancient part of the innate immune system consisting of fluid-phase proteins that contribute to inflammation, homeostasis, and pathogen clearance. A group of vector-borne spirochetal pathogens ...
REGULATORY LINKAGE AND COORDINATED EXPRESSION OF THE CHKB AND CPT1B GENES: IMPLICATIONS FOR AN ELEVATED METABOLIC CAPACITY AND THE ORIGIN OF BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-18)
The emergence of endothermy was an important event in the evolution of vertebrates.
Specifically, the acquisition of BAT was a key achievement for the radiation and diversification
of eutherian (placental) mammals. ...
Semianalytical and Numerical Studies of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
(East Carolina University, 2023-06-12)
The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) has been produced by relativistic heavy ion collisions, and understanding its properties is a primary goal in the field of nuclear physics. This research first elucidates recent semianalytical ...
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 ...
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 ...
SPATIAL AND PLANAR DYSREGULATION OF RHOGTPASES IN HUMAN AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE MOUSE MODEL
(East Carolina University, 2023-11-27)
Rho proteins belong to the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. In humans, the Rho family of GTPases contains 20 members out of which the most studied Rho proteins are RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42.
Rho signaling is known to regulate ...
ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER’S SELF-DEFINED ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOR, AND EXPERIENCE REGARDING INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION
(East Carolina University, 2023-11-30)
Evidence suggests that the role of community health workers (CHWs) continues to evolve in support of the demand to address social determinants of health, prevention, cost, and population health. The aim of this mixed-methods ...
DEVELOPING AN ECOLOGY OF CO-TEACHING: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF A CO-TEACHING PARTNERSHIP
(East Carolina University, 2023-11-27)
In this qualitative ethnographic and autoethnographic study, I examined a co-teaching partnership between a general education teacher and special education teacher in an international school. The school inclusion policy, ...
