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, ... -
A SYSTEMATIC REIVEW [sic] AND META-ANALYSIS OF CRITERION-RELATED VALIDITY IN EARLY MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM-BASED MEASUREMENT
(East Carolina University, 2010)Research interest in early mathematics curriculum-based measurement (EM-CBM) has increased substantially throughout the course of the past decade. There has been a significant increase in the number of published studies ... -
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LITERATURE USING TWITTER AS A TOOL
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Twitter has over 330 million active monthly users producing roughly 500 million Tweets per day, or 200 billion Tweets a year. Making this one of the largest human-generated opinion data collections. In addition to this ... -
Tactile Demographics: Predicting Demographic Information Using Touch Data from Mobile Devices
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-20)The research conducted in this thesis was to serve as a baseline on which human demographics are most likely to be able to be predicted through touch screen interactions. In addition, it served as a way of finding which ... -
Tactile self monitoring of attention to decrease off-task behavior of adolescents with intellectual disabilities and autism
(East Carolina University, 2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tactile self monitoring of attention on off task behavior by students with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism in the self contained setting during independent ... -
Tadpole Begging Behavior And Parent-Offspring Interactions In The Mimic Poison Frog
(East Carolina University, 2015)Studies on offspring begging behavior have focused on whether the behavior communicates offspring need and guides parental food provisioning in the context of honest signaling theory. However, despite the plethora of ... -
