CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRACTURE PATTERNS IN DOMED SEDIMENTARY STRATA, PULPIT ARCH, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-10)
Fractures in sedimentary rock can be an important factor in influencing fluid migration in the subsurface. In high-porosity sandstones in the upper crust, deformation such as folding typically results in the production of ...
FITNESS NON-RESPONSE FOLLOWING AEROBIC EXERCISE TRAINING IN OBESE AFRICAN AMERICANS
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-07)
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. An inverse relationship between CRF, and CVD and all-cause mortality has been well-established. To ...
ACTING "WHITE": THE UNSPOKEN, UNDERSTOOD HIERARCHY OF BLACKNESS
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-09)
This thesis will examine how a variety of extenuating factors serve to complicate a black person's self-identity, as well as determine acceptance or exclusion from the black community in the United States. The introductory ...
HOW CAN WE REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS ON THE PLACENTA?
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)
Prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals can lead to birth defects and adult disease. While it is impossible to avoid pollutant exposure, development of a prenatal supplement that augments natural protective ...
