Quinone Formation via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Quinones are cyclohexadiendiones that have a variety of uses ranging from medical applications to synthetic building blocks. Medicinal applications stem from the potent biological activity (e.g. antitumor and antibiotic) ...
The Endless Pursuit for Self-Validation through Attainment: An Examination of Self-Esteem as a Moderator in the Relationship between Workaholism and Work Stress
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)
In the current study, we sought to investigate the relationship between workaholism and work stress in the context of self-esteem. Previous research has examined the link between workaholism and self-esteem. However, ...
The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-25)
The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators allows one to define what it means to evaluate a function on the operator for a large class of functions defined on the spectrum of the operator. This is done by developing ...
Racial Differences in Cardiorespiratory Fitness between Blacks and Whites: A Meta-Analysis
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
PURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. Some researchers have speculated that Blacks have lower levels of CRF when compared ...
The Effect of Exercise Training on Cardiovascular Mortality Risk
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Clinicians use risk calculators in primary prevention to estimate CVD mortality. A potential limitation of available risk calculators are they generally estimate risk based on traditional risk factors, which is problematic ...
The Industrial Image: Preserving a Deteriorating Identity
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-27)
Reclamation is essential in preserving the history and changing identity of America's Rust Belt. This body of work uses photography and historic events as material that can be repurposed. Imagery is preserved when fired ...
GENE EXPRESSION IN RESPONSE TO MECHANICAL LOADING ON THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Many tissues in the body, especially bone, have exhibited adaptive responses to lowmagnitude, high frequency mechanical loading. However, the response of ligament to these types of mechanical loads is not well understood. ...

(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Rationale: Sedentary behavior is characterized by too much sitting. It is estimated that 4 out of every 10 Americans never engage in physically active behaviors, and that approximately 60% of an adult's non-sleeping hours ...
Geometry and Construction of Upper Crustal Intrusions; Sawtooth Ridge, Henry Mountains, Southern Utah.
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The plumbing systems of volcanos are commonly constructed by interconnected, upper crustal sheet intrusions (i.e. dikes and sills). Active systems and the processes that contribute to their construction are difficult to ...
