An Analysis of Donald Grantham's Baron Cimetière's Mambo and Baron Samedi's Sarabande (and Soft Shoe).
(East Carolina University, 2010)The present analysis summarizes and clarifies the compositional tools and techniques employed in Donald Grantham's Baron Cimetière's Mambo (2004) and Baron Samedi's Sarbande (and Soft Shoe) (2005) in the context of their ... -
Analysis of Electrospun Tβ4 Coated Scaffolds: A Tissue Engineering Study
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-18)Tissue engineering is a field within regenerative medicine that promotes the regeneration/repair of damaged or diseased tissue and organs. This field focuses on three aspects: cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to achieve ... -
Analysis of Infrastructure Damage After Superstorm Sandy : A Case Study of Long Beach, NY
(East Carolina University, 2015)Although much is known about the geomorphology of barrier islands and how barrier islands respond to storm events, no research has considered the implications of dense development on storm damage patterns. This research ... -
Analysis of Myopodin in Hela Cervical Carcinoma Cells
(East Carolina University, 2014)Synaptopodin-2 is a proline-rich, actin-binding protein that exists in many isoforms. Due to its large proline content, synaptopodin-2 exists in a naturally unfolded state and possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. ... -
Analysis of Overwash Sediment Transport in an Experimental Laboratory Setting: Channel Dimension Influence on Washover Deposits
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-13)Artificial dunes and other human-made solutions in coastal areas often result in changes to coastal hydraulics and sediment transport, which can lead to changes in long-term evolution of coastal landforms and places ... -
ANALYSIS OF OXYGENATED POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND THEIR PARENT MOLECULES IN BIOCHAR AND ITS LEACHATES
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Due to the increasing use of biochar as a soil amendment, the amount and composition of contaminants in biochar should be analyzed. Two of those suites of compounds in biochar are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ... -
Analysis of scn5Laa and scn5Lab Gene Function in Danio rerio (Zebrafish) Heart Development through TALENs/CRISPR-CAS9-mediated Gene Knockout
(East Carolina University, 2015)Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular developmental genetic effects of crude oil exposure on vertebrate embryogenesis. Our research has demonstrated that exposure of zebrafish embryos to ... -
Analysis of Sediment Erosion and Deposition Across High Marsh and Tide Channel Sites in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)Bare spots associated with vegetation die-off along a tidal channel and adjacent marsh platform in the "Gut" in Wellfleet, MA area are a direct result of winter storms and increased crab herbivory. Sediment transport from ... -
An Analysis of Sex Differences in Empathy and Forgiveness
(East Carolina University, 2009)The relationships among sex, empathy, and forgiveness were examined. A sample of 108 undergraduates, aged 18 to 35 years, participated in interviews and completed a series of instruments to assess both state and trait ... -
Analysis of Testing Approaches for Web Applications Based on Each Choice and Pairwise Methods
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-25)Time and quality are important factors when determining the proper approach for software testing. A software program can often be used in various environments (different platforms, operating systems, browsers, networks, ... -
Analysis of the hex regulon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2012)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen whose defense mechanisms include biofilm production through carbohydrate metabolism. The activity of the enzymes in the hex regulon are required for catabolism of glucose ... -
Analysis of the Impact of Tags on Stack Overflow Questions
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-26)User queries on Stack Overflow commonly suffer from either inadequate length or inadequate clarity with regards to the languages and/or tools they are meant for. Although the site makes use of a tagging system for classifying ... -
ANALYSIS OF TRANSGENIC MOUSE MODELS TO STUDY MAMMALIAN SPERMATOGONIA
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Spermatogenesis in the mammalian testis results in the daily production of millions of spermatozoa. This developmental process is founded upon the actions of a small population of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). As SSCs ... -
ANALYTICAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER TO INNER SHELL ELECTRONS
(East Carolina University, 2011)The Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA), the most prevalent First Born Approximation (FBA), serves as input into theories well beyond the scope of the PWBA. Using Mathematica's advanced symbolic programming capabilities ... -
