THE SWEDISH SAILOR'S TABLE : A Study of Vasa's Wooden Tableware
(East Carolina University, 2014)On 10 August 1628, Swedish warship Vasa sailed out of port on its maiden voyage, and in a light gust, quickly sank to the bottom of Stockholm Harbor. For more than three centuries, what should have been the pride of the ... -
Sweetpotatoes in a Globalizing World : The Effects of Globalization on North Carolina's Sweetpotato Industry
(East Carolina University, 2012)This study examines the form and effects of globalization on North Carolina's sweetpotato industry. A commodity chain analysis was conducted by constructing North Carolina's sweetpotato commodity chain (SPCC) through the ... -
Sylvia Townsend Warner's Modernist Ekphrasis And Synesthesia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)The presence of music and sound is crucially important in the writing of Sylvia Townsend Warner (1873-1978). A noticeably acoustic writer, music, and noise in general, are major tools Warner employed to convey the vacillation ... -
Symbolism in Messiaen's Oratorio : La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jesus-Christ
(East Carolina University, 2014)This thesis will focus on the unity of rich numeric symbolism, religious text, and historical context of La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ by Olivier Messiaen. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was known for ... -
SYMPHONY NO. 2 “SYMPHONY OF CHORALES” BY LUKAS FOSS: A STUDY IN COLLAGE AND MUSICAL BORROWING
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)In his second symphony, the Symphony of Chorales (1958), Foss seems to be struggling to merge two identities, his Stravinskian Neoclassicism and his improvisation-influenced experimentalism. The mature Foss is first able ... -
SYNAPTOPODIN-2 ISOFORM A AND D EXPRESSION IN HT-29 HUMAN COLON ADENOCARCINOMA CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2013)Synaptopodin-2 is a largely unfolded actin-binding protein that also possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. Synaptopodin-2 has other known binding partners such as filamin and [alpha]-actinin (Weins, et al. 2001 ... -
Synchronizing Automata and the Černý Conjecture
(East Carolina University, 2012)We provide a survey of research surrounding the Černý conjecture. This conjecture concerns finite-state automata that have the property of being "synchronizing." A synchronizing automaton is one for which there exists ... -
SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS OF FLUORESCENT ANTIFREEZE GLYCOPROTEIN MIMIC PEPTIDES FOR DETERMINATION OF THE ICE BINDING MECHANISM
(East Carolina University, 2021-09-13)Properties of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are well known; however, it is unclear which molecular components of the proteins are directly responsible for binding to the ice surface. Previous molecular dynamics studies ... -
SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TRIDENTATE C^N*N PLATINUM (II) COMPLEXES and, INVESTIGATION OF SELECTIVITY IN C-H BOND ACTIVATION BY PLATINUM
(East Carolina University, 2012)The synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of a series of novel, highly luminescent tridentate platinum complexes with general coordination geometry of (C^N*N)-PtL are reported, where "C^N" denotes a coordination ... -
Synthesis and Reactions of Novel Heteroarylzirconocene Reagents
(East Carolina University, 2012)The cross-coupling of metallated heteroaromatic species with aryl and heteroaryl halides is a powerful and highly desirable transformation in both the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds as well as materials development. ... -
SYNTHESIS AND SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF BOC- PROTECTED FLUORESCENT ARGININE
(East Carolina University, 2017-08-21)Small peptides capable of penetrating or spanning the hydrophobic core of lipid bilayers have many potential uses in medicine and in biochemical research. As the most basic of the amino acids that can comprise such peptides, ... -
Synthesis Of Non-Natural Fmoc-Protected Amino Acids To Provide Novel Fluorescent Anion Probes And Their Incorporation Into Synthetic Peptides
(East Carolina University, 2015)Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR serves to control the gradient of chloride and bicarbonate ions across the cellular ... -
A Synthesis of Red Drum Feeding Ecology and Diets from North Carolina and South Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)The trophic interactions of the red drum Sciaenops ocellatus have been previously researched. However diet data on the largest adults (>750mm TL) are very limited. As fisheries management moves towards a goal of multi-species ... -
A Synthesis of the Prehistoric Archaeological Investigations of Lake Phelps, Washington County, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2010)During the mid-1980s, visitors and staff at Pettigrew State Park in Washington County, North Carolina discovered a series of prehistoric dugout canoes and associated artifacts in and around Lake Phelps. Beginning in 1985, ... -
