Investigation of NADPH-Dependent Thioredoxin Reductase-C (NTRC) In Chloroplast Lipid Metabolism
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)
Redox reactions are ubiquitous within plant metabolism and critical for the sustainment of photosynthesis within thylakoid membranes. Specialized glycerolipids that make up these membranes in turn require redox reactions ...
Investigation of Platinum-Catalyzed Acylation of 2-Aryloxypyridines via C-H Activation and Functionalization
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-12)
Transition metal catalyzed C-H activation and functionalization reactions allow synthetic chemists to break the normally unreactive carbon-hydrogen bond and create a new and useful carbon-oxygen, carbon-nitrogen, carbon-halogen, ...
Gradients In Success: The Impact of Wave Energy, Elevation and Predation on Oyster Reef Restoration
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)
The structure of coastal communities varies spatially and temporally in response to abiotic and biotic stressors. Local environmental conditions can be modified by the presence of a foundation species, whose dominant ...
IMPROVING THE SPEED AND ACCURACY OF THE P300 AUTOMATIC SPELLING SYSTEM THROUGH FACIAL RECOGNITION
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-21)
Locked-in syndrome is a condition where an individual does not have control of their muscles, including facial muscles and vocal cords which control speech. Instead of oral speech, sign language, or writing, other methods ...
Reinforcement Learning based Recommender System using Q-Learning and Deep Q-Learning
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-14)
The first part of this thesis concludes with an overall summary of the publications so far on the recommender system using reinforcement learning. We have performed a systematic review of the research studies published ...
Borrowing ecological principles: Influence of reef placement and habitat complexity on free-living and parasite diversity
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-25)
Environmental factors often shape and regulate the distribution of community assemblages throughout an ecosystem. For example, in the rocky intertidal zones, marine ecologists have identified abiotic forces and biotic ...
Investigating the Effects of Sodium Benzoate on Fat Deposition, Pharyngeal Pumping, and Related Genetic Mechanisms in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-18)
Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative common in many household products due to its antibacterial and antifungal activities. However, many of its side effects other than as a preservative has been under research ...
FACTORS RELATED TO SEX DIFFERENCES IN AGE OF DIAGNOSIS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-19)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by deficits in social communication and the presence of repetitive and restricted patterns of behavior and interests. A rating ...
Determining the role of BRCA1 in skeletal muscle regeneration
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-15)
Skeletal muscle is necessary for movement, breathing, and performance of daily activities. Acute injuries can occur to skeletal muscle, and there are several conditions and diseases that result in impairment of muscle ...
Novel roles for ecdysone receptor in the Drosophila germline
(East Carolina University, 2022-07-01)
Oogenesis, the process by which a viable egg is produced, demands carefully coordinated communication between somatic and germ cell populations, relying on both local and systemic factors such as steroid hormones for ...
