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 ...
The Effect Of Conservation Treatments On Organic Residues In Archaeological Ceramics
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Conservation treatments, while focused on preserving the physical form of a ceramic vessel, may inadvertently have a negative impact on other information stored in preserved organic residues that may remain on or in the ...
Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)
There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ...
Using The Morphological Analysis Perspective (MAP) In Software Engineering Project Management
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Corporations require well defined strategies and successful implementation of strategic solutions in order to survive, facilitate growth, and remain competitive. In the current internet enabled economy, software development ...
