A Constraint-Based Method For Flow-Sensitive Static Type Analysis Of PHP Using The Rascal Meta-Programming Platform
(East Carolina University, 2015)
PHP is a dynamically typed language, and is very popular among developers for building websites. The dynamic features of PHP allow for many kinds of type related errors to be made by developers. Since PHP does not feature ...
Characterization Of 'Fuzzy Tassel' Male Sterility Defects Implicates Novel MiRNA-Regulated Pathways In Maize Stamen Development
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The maize 'fuzzy tassel' ('fzt') mutant is caused by a mutation in 'dicer-like1' and has broad developmental defects. 'dicer-like1' encodes a key enzyme for microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and many miRNAs are reduced in 'fzt' ...
Methods for Handling Missing Data for Multiple-Item Questionnaires
(East Carolina University, 2017-09-27)
Missing data is a common problem, especially in the social and behavioral sciences. Modern missing data methods are underutilized in the industrial/organizational psychology and human resource management literature. ...
Method Development and Validation for the Rapid Detection of Organophosphates in Blood Plasma from Obese, Obese-Diabetic, and Lean Patients from Eastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-13)
The incidence of diabetes and rate of obesity is on the rise, along with the use of organophosphorus insecticides in the United States. Organophosphates (OP), a specific class of pesticide that is biodegradable and readily ...
Structural and functional analysis of the Vaccinia virus O1 virulence protein
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)
Poxviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses capable of causing disfiguring and deadly disease in a wide range of hosts, from insects to mammals. Orthopoxviruses (OPXV) encode many proteins that are not essential for viral ...
A Paleodemographic Study of Mortality in 1st century BC/AD Petra, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)
The 1st century BC to 1st century AD population of Petra appears to have rarely suffered from infectious diseases based on the low frequency of pathological bone lesions in skeletons recovered from tombs on the site's North ...
Development of a Heart Motion Tracking System using Non-invasive Imaging Data
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Cardiac motion can be monitored non-invasively for the assessment of cardiovascular function by using medical imaging systems and motion tracking algorithms. Existing tracking approaches require a priori understanding of ...
A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Two gravity cores were collected from 43 km and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment ...
Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)
Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ...
