EMPLACEMENT AND GROWTH OF LARGE COMPLEX INTRUSIONS IN THE SHALLOW CRUST, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2011)Details of magma migration paths in the shallow crust are poorly understood, in part because there are few locations with well-preserved contacts of igneous intrusions and surrounding host rock. The exposures in the Henry ... -
Employment of GUPIXWIN Analysis System in Particle-Induced X-Ray (PIXE) Material Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-08)Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) is a multi-elemental material analysis method used for nondestructive analysis of samples. Improvements to the beam line and PIXE chamber in East Carolina University’s particle ... -
End of the Line : The Wright's Creek Commercial Fishing Graveyard, Belhaven, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)A 1994-1995 survey (Babits and Kjorness 1995) discovered the presence of several abandoned vessel complexes in Wright's Creek, a rural area located between the Pamlico and Pungo Rivers in North Carolina. These graveyards, ... -
ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS ALTER STEROID TRANSPORT PROTEINS AND STEROID FREE AND BOUND FRACTIONS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)The effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the development of sexually dimorphic characteristics in vertebrates have been studied extensively for over sixty years. Throughout this time, studies have focused ... -
ENERGY COST OF HEAVY LOAD CARRIAGE AND PROLONGED WALKING IN ROTC COLLEGIATE PARTICIPANTS
(East Carolina University, 2014)The load military service members carry while marching has increased throughout history, and the military routinely uses rucksacks that range in weight from 22-68 kilograms, depending on the type of mission and weather ... -
