MICROBIAL INFLUENCED CORROSION ON ACCOMAC, A FRESHWATER, FERROUS-HULLED SHIPWRECK: EVALUATION OF MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND COMPOSITION
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-09)
Abandoned shipwrecks are sitting at the bottom of oceans and lakes around the world, deteriorating extensively as the years pass by. Over time, however, microbial-comprised biofilm formation on these structures has resulted ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Heat Exchanger in a Solar-Assisted, Supercritical Brayton Cycle for Power Generation
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-19)
Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) has become a popular subject in sustainable energy research due to its low critical properties and enhanced operating conditions compared to previous heat transfer fluids. sCO2 power ...
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CUMULATIVE LIFETIME STRESS, COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SLEEP: THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF RESILIENCE
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-21)
Stress is multidimensional and can be labeled as acute, chronic, or cumulative. Cumulative lifetime stress encompasses the exposure to stressors occurring over the course of the lifetime, instead of focusing on a specific ...
Nature, Heart, Life: The Life and Works of Alma Mahler

This thesis examines the early life of Austrian composer Alma Mahler (1879-1964), the conditions of fin-de-siècle Vienna, her perception in academic literature, and her surviving works. Her 1911 set, Fünf Lieder, is studied ...
7th Century Byzantine Leadership: Reevaluating Recent Scholarship on Heraclius
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-25)
This thesis examines the Roman emperor Heraclius, who rules Byzantine Rome from 610 -641CE. It will look at the military, political, and religious decisions that Heraclius made during his civil war with the usurper Phokas ...
Theoretical studies on the Annexin A1-S100A11 Heterotetramer and Platinum-Mediated C-H Activation Pathways
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-13)
Computational chemistry is a powerful tool for characterizing chemical phenomena when they are difficult to observe in laboratory settings or simply elusive. By employing the fundamental equations of nature, computational ...
REDOX EFFECTS ON WETLAND MICROBIAL METABOLIC COMPOSITION
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-12)
Wetlands provide valuable ecosystem functions including nutrient recycling, carbon storage, flood mitigation, and habitat in support of biodiversity. However, land use change and climate change stressors continue to threaten ...
Myocardial Implications in Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone-Regulated Hypertension
(East Carolina University, 2023-08-08)
Hypertension is a prevalent and potentially deadly disease that affects approximately 116 million (47%) adults diagnosed in the U.S. as reported by the CDC in 2017. Understanding mechanisms responsible for high blood ...
Determination of the Role of Tyrosine-319 on the Efficiency of Photoinduced Radical Pairs in Avian Cryptochrome Photoreceptor Proteins Related to Magnetoreception
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-17)
Cryptochromes (CRYs) are flavin-containing blue light photoreceptors which are involved in circadian rhythms and magnetoreception. CRYs are structurally related to DNA photolyases. While photolyases use light-driven FAD ...
Characterization of rat models of type two diabetes and metabolic syndrome and the evaluation of SDF-1 mRNA as a treatment for erectile dysfunction
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-24)
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) affects a considerable population of men and can have a profound negative impact on their quality of life and well-being. ED is often a consequence of age and diseases that affect the microvasculature ...
