Self-Checked Metamorphic Testing of Monte Carlo Simulation
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Photon propagation in biological tissues can be modeled with Monte Carlo simulations numerically. However, testing a such program is difficult due to the unknown character of the test oracles. Although approaches based on ...
Migrating Legacy Software Applications to Cloud Computing Environments : A Software Architect's Approach
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Cloud computing has garnered a great deal of interest in the past few years. The availability of on-demand computational power is presumed to provide substantial IT infrastructure cost-savings, partially through the ...

(East Carolina University, 2013)
Some predators are limited in the size prey item that they can catch and consume, and this is referred to as "gape limited". Prey found with these predators may have the ability to respond by growing rapidly to reach a ...
Cardiac and Mitochondrial Adaptations in Response to Aging and Doxorubicin in Rats Bred for Divergent Aerobic Capacities
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Doxorubicin (DOX) remains as one of the most widely prescribed and effective anticancer agents. A major limitation of the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug is the occurrence of irreversible, progressive, dose-dependent ...
Effects of Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara Expressing Mesothelin and the Poxvirus Immunoregulatory A35R gene in the Treatment of Murine Pancreatic Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Pancreatic tumors over-express the protein mesothelin, and therefore, it is used as a tumor target antigen for vaccine development. ...

Rhythm is a basic principle of art, taught to beginners and explored by master artists. However, rhythm is a difficult concept to understand and apply visually. The basic definition of rhythm is defined, and the use of ...
Muscle Work Discrepancy during Incline and Decline Running at Three Speeds
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Introduction: Previous research has explored muscle function during gait and this work has shown that more positive mechanical muscle work is produced in gait tasks that primarily raise the center of mass (incline gait ...
Gender Differences in Aerobic and Work Capacity During Plantar Flexion Exercise
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is lower in females compared to males during traditional whole body, systemic exercise. These differences in VO2max between men and women are still present even after correcting for ...
