Investigation of Platinum-Catalyzed Acylation of 2-Aryloxypyridines via C-H Activation and Functionalization
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-12)
Transition metal catalyzed C-H activation and functionalization reactions allow synthetic chemists to break the normally unreactive carbon-hydrogen bond and create a new and useful carbon-oxygen, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-halogen, ...
Investigation of NADPH-Dependent Thioredoxin Reductase-C (NTRC) In Chloroplast Lipid Metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)
Redox reactions are ubiquitous within plant metabolism and critical for the sustainment of photosynthesis within thylakoid membranes. Specialized glycerolipids that make up these membranes in turn require redox reactions ...
Borrowing ecological principles: Influence of reef placement and habitat complexity on free-living and parasite diversity
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-25)
Environmental factors often shape and regulate the distribution of community assemblages throughout an ecosystem. For example, in the rocky intertidal zones, marine ecologists have identified abiotic forces and biotic ...
Traditional vs Multisensory: Assessing the Impact of Writing Tools on Letter Formation Mastery Through Direct Instruction
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-08)
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of direct instruction paired with multisensory tools on letter formation mastery, in comparison with direction instruction paired with traditional writing tools (paper ...
Novel roles for ecdysone receptor in the Drosophila germline
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)
Oogenesis, the process by which a viable egg is produced, demands carefully coordinated communication between somatic and germ cell populations, relying on both local and systemic factors such as steroid hormones for ...
Enhancing GNSS RTK Solutions with Random Sample Consensus
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-12)
Precise positioning with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can be achieved by using the real-time kinematic (RTK) solution. A GNSS RTK solution was improved using an innovative approach based on Random Sample ...
QA4R: A QUESTION ANSWERING SYSTEM FOR R PACKAGES
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-26)
There is a massive amount of data from various sources available today, and querying meaningful information from those datasets would be valuable. Question Answering Systems (QAS) implement information retrieval (IR) and ...
NORMAN AND GRECIAN: A COMPARATIVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE FORMATION ANALYSIS OF TWO STEEL-HULLED GREAT LAKES BULK CARRIERS IN LAKE HURON
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)
Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary (TBNMS) in Alpena, Michigan contains the remains of approximately 200 shipwrecks. Located within the sanctuary are two vessels, Norman (1890-1895) and Grecian (1891-1906). Both built ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSTRUMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND NATURALISTIC DRIVING PERFORMANCE: INDICATIONS FOR MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT DETECTION
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-05)
Rationale: A large body of literature has explored the ability of various assessment tools to determine the cognitive status of older adults, as well as the relationships between cognition and driving skills. However, few ...
MORTUARY ARCHEOLOGY OF A 19TH -20TH CENTURY FAMILY TOMB IN NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-06)
The excavation and study of 19th and 20th century cemeteries in North America have not only illuminated shifts in mortuary behavior but also highlighted the lives of those invisible in the documentary sources, particularly ...
