Entheseal Changes as a Reflection of Activity Patterns at 1st Century BC/AD Petra, Jordan
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Over the past thirty years, biological anthropologists have attempted to reconstruct human behavioral patterns by analyzing entheseal attachments, the areas where tendons and ligaments attach to the bone. Many researchers ... -
Environmental Development of the External Genitalia
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects in the world. The incidence of hypospadias has nearly doubled over the past 50 years and now occurs on average in 1 in 125 male newborns each year. Hypospadias is a ... -
Enzymatic determination of itoic acid, a Bacillus subtilis siderophore, and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
(East Carolina University, 1993-07)A specific enzymatic method to determine the amounts of itoic acid, a Bacillus subtilis siderophore, and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) was devised. A sample was incubated first with hippurate hydrolase andthenwith ... -
Epigenetic Effect of Modified Diet and Exercise on Drosophila Metabolic Phenotype and Cardiovascular Health
(2015-04)Obesity is a growing world-wide epidemic. Overweight populations are prone to a variety of morbid conditions including diabetes type 2, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. The catastrophic increase in obesity rates, which ... -
Establishing a Standard for Peri-operative ICD Education : A Demonstration Project
(East Carolina University, 2012)Introduction: An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) administers a shock to terminate potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. The device saves lives, but presents psychological challenges for patients. ... -
ESTABLISHING LINKAGE BETWEEN GINS COMPLEX SUB-UNIT Sld5 AND CHECKPOINT PROTEIN Chk2 (loki) USING DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER AS MODEL ORGANISM
(East Carolina University, 2012)Eukaryotic DNA replication is controlled by a number of proteins that ensures the process takes place accurately. GINS, a hetero-tetrameric protein complex is known to be essential for the initiation and progression of ... -
Establishing Validity for Measures of Executive Functioning and Behavior in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2013)This study examined the criterion validity of the Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Functioning (BRIEF; Gioia, Isquith, Guy, & Kenworthy, 2000) and the Behavior Assessment System for Children, 2nd Edition (BASC-2; ... -
ESTIMATION OF THE PROBABILITY A BROWNIAN BRIDGE CROSSES A CONCAVE BOUNDARY
(East Carolina University, 2010)This thesis studies a new method to estimate the probability that a Brownian bridge crosses a concave boundary. We show that a Brownian bridge crosses a concave boundary if and only if its least concave majorant crosses ...
