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 ...
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 ...
The Contentnea Creek Granite : Constraints On Late Paleozoic Magmatism And Deformation, Eastern Piedmont Fault System, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Alleghanian orogeny is manifested in eastern North Carolina by dextral transpressional faulting on the Eastern Piedmont Fault system and spatially associated granitic magmatism. The Contentnea Creek granite in Wilson ...
Academic and Behavioral Effects of Self-Regulated Strategy Development on Children with Writing Difficulties and ADHD Symptoms
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Although children of all ability levels underperform in writing proficiency according to national testing, and children with disabilities are perform at very low levels (below basic), the area of effective writing skills ...
Association Between Objectively Measured Physical Activity And Depression Symptoms
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to ...

In the late 1990’s, eastern North Carolina experienced numerous devastating flood events from hurricanes and tropical storms. When Hurricane Floyd made landfall on September 16th, 1999, it caused the most disastrous floods ...
Deletion of LPCAT3 Promotes Enhanced Insulin Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)
Aberrant lipid metabolism has been linked to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The exact identity of the lipid species that promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance among the human population remains unclear. In this ...
MRSL: AUTONOMOUS NEURAL NETWORK-BASED SELF-STABILIZING SYSTEM
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-15)
Stabilizing and localizing the positioning systems autonomously in the areas without GPS accessibility is a difficult task. In this thesis we describe a methodology called Most Reliable Straight Line (MRSL) for stabilizing ...
Exposure To Elevated Prenatal Testosterone Metabolites Induce Autism-Like Behavior In Rats : Evidence For The Extreme Male Brain And Implications For Human Health
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) originate during early brain development and are the result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Disruptions in the prenatal ...
Species And Stage Specific Developmental Toxicity Of Endosulfan Exposure In Hyla Cinerea And Ranitomeya Imitator
(East Carolina University, 2015)
During ontogeny, organisms pass through critical periods of heightened vulnerability to disruptive exogenous agents. In organisms with complex life cycles, these developmental windows result in variable susceptibility ...
