Generational Differences and Predictors of Variance in Marital Attitudes among Men
(East Carolina University, 2015)The rise of cohabitation, premarital sex, childbearing outside of marriage, and a higher average age for first marriage allude to changes in the institution of marriage, and perhaps a changing society. According to a 2010 ... -
Generational Struggles and Identity Conflict among 1.5 Generation Vietnamese Americans : Finding a Middle Ground
(East Carolina University, 2012)Many post-war Vietnamese who immigrated to the United States at a young age have recently transitioned into parenthood. With this new position, these Vietnamese have begun to find themselves in the unexpected arrangement ... -
Genetic Algorithm Stream Cipher Key Generation Using NIST Functions
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)Stream ciphers are beneficial because of their efficiency, speed, and low resource utilization. However, stream ciphers are vulnerable to many attacks if they do not use strong keys for encryption and decryption. Thus, one ... -
Genetic and hypoxic effects on germline tumor development in caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)The process of differentiation of stem cells to committed, progenitor specific cell types is well studied but the reverse process of the dedifferentiation of these committed cells back to the undifferentiated state still ... -
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Genetic deletion of skeletal muscle Cox6a2 (Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 6a polypeptide 2) delays regeneration in preclinical model of Peripheral Artery Disease
(East Carolina University, 2023-12-04)Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the most severe clinical manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD). There are no current therapeutic options for CLTI outside of surgical intervention and it remains the ... -
Genome wide identification of ARF transcription factor gene family and their expression analysis in sweet potato
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-15)Auxin response factors (ARFs) are a family of transcription factors that play an important role of auxin regulation through their binding with auxin response elements. ARF genes are represented by a large multigene family ... -
Genome-Wide Identification And Expression Analysis Of TCP Transcription Factors In Cotton
(East Carolina University, 2015)TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors known to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ... -
Geochemistry and Genesis of Late Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations and Metamorphosed Chemical Precipitates Spatially Associated with Pb-Zn Broken Hill-type Mineralization near the Broken Hill Deposit, Curnamona Province, Australia
(East Carolina University, 2014)Banded and massive iron formations (IFs) and garnet- and gahnite-quartz rocks are spatially associated with the giant, late Paleoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-Ag Broken Hill sulfide deposit and hundreds of minor Broken Hill-type ... -
Geographic Differences in Emergency Management Decision-Making : A Case Study of Severe Weather in the Midwest
(East Carolina University, 2014)Tornadoes are one of the most dangerous meteorological hazards on a local scale. While tornadoes can occur virtually anywhere, response--and the processes that lead to it--can vary based on location. It is the task of an ... -
GEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION PARTICIPATION AND BMI PERCENTILES : HAVE LEGAL MANDATES MADE A DIFFERENCE?
(East Carolina University, 2010)Childhood obesity in the United States of America has become a widespread epidemic. Over 30% of children ages 2 to 19 are overweight as classified by their Body Mass Indexes (BMI) (Ogden, Carroll, & Flegal, 2008). Prevention ...
