NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPING FOR POLLINATORS ON EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SOLAR FARMS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Solar panel farms (SPFs) may be a part of a sustainable solution to pollinator decline and the loss of ecosystem services they provide. Some SPFs are seeking to landscape with diverse native seed mixes, which has the ...
Computational Investigation of Calcium Binding Proteins Annexin A1 and Cardiac Troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Calcium binding proteins are vital for many biological functions. Many undergo calcium induced conformation changes through sensing motifs, resulting in functional changes for the proteins. In this study computational ...
Impact of Inductive and Deductive Teaching Strategies in Art Classes
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Abstract: The purpose of this small teacher action research study was to determine if incorporating an inductive teaching strategy (concept attainment) into the teaching of art concepts affects student performance on depth ...
THE EFFECT OF AMP DEAMINASE 3 DEFICIENCY ON POST-MYOCARDIAL INFARCT FUNCTIONAL AND HISTOLOGICAL OUTCOMES IN MICE
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-17)
PURPOSE: Humans deficient in the metabolic enzyme AMP deaminase 3 have improved survival and clinical outcomes in cases of revascularization, myocardial infarction, and/or heart failure. Because of the nature of this ...
NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ...
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Deficiency Promotes a T Lymphocyte Response in a Murine Model of Chronic Pulmonary Sarcoidosis
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-03)
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Previous studies from our lab have shown a deficiency of the nuclear transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR[gamma]) ...
Cloning and Characterization of the Classical Maize Mutant, Polytypic1
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)
Polytypic1 (Pt1) is a semi-dominant mutant in maize that affects inflorescence development. To understand how Pt1 functions in development, I examined the phenotype of Pt1 mutants in multiple inbred backgrounds. Pt1 defects ...
EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)
Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ...

(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)
This thesis examines the representations of Queen Victoria's agency through films and miniseries. For the selection of the films and miniseries had to be released in the twentieth century and present Queen Victoria in a ...
An Historical and Ethnographic Study of Cultural Change and Continuity in the Construction and Use of Vernacular Watercraft in the Tanga Region, Tanzania
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-23)
As global technology and corresponding security risks ever expand, traditional lifeways and archaic maritime landscapes are placed in ever greater danger of extinction. Within the Tanga region of Tanzania, numerous maritime ...
