EFFECTS OF MEDIA USE ON BEHAVIORAL INHIBITION IN PRESCHOOLERS
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Previous research suggests that there is a link between children's media use and their executive function. The present study aimed to assess preschool-aged children's media use and to determine if different levels of media ... -
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. ... -
The Effects of Moral Self-Reflective Priming on Faking in Personality Testing
(East Carolina University, 2014)Personality testing has received considerable criticism due to validity coefficients being weakened by intentional response distortion. The current study investigates whether priming an individual with a moral self-reflective ... -
Effects of Nicotine on Caenorhabditis elegans survival, reproduction, and gene expressions : Development of an Invertebrate Animal Model for Drugs of Abuse
(East Carolina University, 2011)Although much is known about the addictive effects of nicotine, the molecular mechanisms of nicotine-induced effects remain largely unclear. Specifically, little is known about the effects of nicotine on gene expression, ... -
Effects of nutrient addition on plant community composition: a functional trait analysis in a long-term experiment
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-19)The effects of nutrient availability on plant community composition and diversity have been well-documented, but the mechanisms behind the community response remain unclear. Plant species interact with variation in the ... -
Effects Of Nutrient Availability And Disturbance On The Composition And Diversity Of Soil Microorganisms
(East Carolina University, 2015)Determining how factors such as disturbance and nutrient availability affect species diversity in a community has been a major goal of community ecology. The purpose of this study was to look at how species diversity and ... -
Effects of ovarian denervation on compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in hypophysectomized rats

THE EFFECTS OF PRENATAL COCAINE EXPOSURE ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING IN ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2011)Executive functioning refers to higher-order cognitive skills (e.g., inhibition, shifting and sequencing), which improve with frontal lobe maturation from childhood through early adulthood. Research on executive functioning ... -
THE EFFECTS OF PRENATAL LEAD EXPOSURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOMARKERS OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
(2015-04)While often well known for its adverse effects on memory, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is also noteworthy for being the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 5.2 million Americans had the disease as ... -
EFFECTS OF SODIUM BENOZATE ON FAT DEPOSITION AND GROWTH IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-11)Clinical observation has proposed the linkage between the occurrence of obesity and slow weight loss with daily exposure to common food additives such as sodium benzoate. However, well-controlled laboratory experiments on ... -
The effects of sodium butyrate on Hox gene expression in a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT29.
(East Carolina University, 2013)Hox genes are a subgroup of the large family of homeobox containing genes, known to pattern anterior/posterior and proximal/distal axes during embryonic development. More recently Hox gene research has focused on the role ... -
Effects of temperature, flow, and climate factors on inter-annual variation of larval fish assemblages in a coastal watershed
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Predicting how populations will respond to future climate scenarios is of interest to ecologists and resource managers. Recent interest in the effect large-scale climate patterns have on local environmental conditions has ... -
Effects of Urbanization on Stream-Riparian Zone Connection along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible ...
