The Effect of Quadriceps Strength Symmetry and Task Demands on Lower Extremity Biomechanics
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are a common injury in sports with short and long term consequences. Second ACL injury rates, defined as an injury to the contralateral or healthy limb, or a re-graft tear of the ...
Influence of Perivascular Adipose Tissue on Central Arterial Mechanics and Hemodynamics: A Parametric Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical influence of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) on arterial wall mechanics and hemodynamics, which are key regulators in cardiovascular disease progression. Fluid-structure ...
DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION IN THE BRAINS OF BEGGING POISON FROG TADPOLES
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Parents often rely on offspring signals to adequately allocate resources to dependent offspring. The mimic poison frog, Ranitomeya imitator, has evolved elaborate parental care behaviors to raise their young. Their tadpoles ...
Investigating Membrane Protection of Red Blood Cells in the Presence of Mono and Disaccharides at Hypothermic Storage Conditions
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The maximum approved storage time of red blood cells under hypothermic conditions is 42 days when treated with an appropriate additive solution. Here, we investigated the possible protective properties of various mono and ...
THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET AT THE PITT COUNTY HOME
(2020-08-12)
The Pitt County Poor Farm, also known as the Pitt County Home, was established in the early nineteenth century to feed and house the local poor population of Pitt County, North Carolina, prior to the establishment of the ...
GRAVITY SURVEY OF A BURIED TRIASSIC RIFT BASIN, BERTIE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The North American rift margin includes of a series of Triassic rift basins along the eastern seaboard of the United States and Canada. This continent-scale rift basin system is comprised of complex and variable geometries ...
RECONSTRUCTING THE CHILDHOOD DIET OF AN 18TH TO 19TH CENTURY LAND-OWNING FAMILY IN BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Breastfeeding and weaning practices can greatly impact a child's immune system development and nutritional status, later causing long-term health effects. This research explores the relationships between weaning practices, ...
FORAMINIFERAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS OF THE CHESAPEAKE GROUP, CALVERT CLIFFS, MARYLAND, USA
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The long-term impact of climate and sea-level change on marine communities can be documented using the fossil record of well-studied, and widely distributed organisms such as benthic foraminifera. The Calvert and Choptank ...
CRABS & ‘CROBES: THE TRIPARTITE RELATIONSHIP OF A HOST, PARASITE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MICROBIOMES
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Growing evidence suggests that the associated microbiome of organisms (the holobiont) has been shaping the evolutionary pathways of macroorganisms for thousands of years, and that these tiny symbionts can influence species ...
Characterizing the Binding of Ca2+ and Cd2+ to EF-hand Peptide V of Calbindin D28K and EF-hand Peptides III and IV of Human Cardiac Troponin C Using CD, ITC, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
Calcium-binding EF-hand proteins are ubiquitous in the cell and are essential for many biological functions such as muscle contraction and cell signaling. Divalent cadmium, Cd²⁺, and lead, Pb²⁺ are toxic metal ions that ...
