A Functional Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of endogenous post-transcriptional gene regulators that are typically 20-22 nucleotides in length that do not code for proteins. MiRNAs regulate gene expression by either ... -
Functional and Structural Sediment Connectivity within a Recently Burned Basin
(East Carolina University, 2011)Human populations have continued their unrelenting expansion into the wildland-urban interface and in locales which are prone to wildfire, the risk of secondary hazards associated with wildfires such as debris flows and ... -
Functional Unit of the RNA Polymerase II C-Terminal Domain Lies within Heptapeptide PairsÂ
(East Carolina University, 2004-06)Unlike all other RNA polymerases, the largest subunit (RPB1) of eukaryotic DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) has a C-terminal domain (CTD) comprising tandemly repeated heptapeptides with the consensus sequence ... -
FUNCTIONS OF G-PROTEIN COUPLED ESTROGEN RECEPTOR (GPER) IN FEMALE ZEBRAFISH REPRODUCTION
(East Carolina University, 2019-11-27)Abstract Steroid hormones such as estrogen depend on receptors like Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) and Estrogen Receptor (ERβ) to mediate their slow “genomic” functions, and G-Protein coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) to ... -
Fundamental and Applied Studies on Chromatographic Separation of Cold Drugs and Skincare Creams and Extraction of Salvia miltiorrhiza using Subcritical Water
(East Carolina University, 2014)Subcritical water chromatography (SBWC) and subcritical water extraction (SBWE) are two green techniques that use subcritical water as the sole solvent for separations, thus eliminating the use of toxic and expensive organic ... -
The Fur-like regulator Mur controls the expression of the gene encoding the manganese transporter MntH in Brucella abortus 2308 in response to manganese availability
(East Carolina University, 2011)Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative, [alpha]-proteobacterium that causes bovine brucellosis, a prevalent zoonotic disease in many areas of the world. Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that survives and ... -
Future Flood Risk Perceptions Following Hurricane Matthew: A Study of Eastern North Carolinians
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Floods are one of the most dangerous weather-related hazard events in the world. A flood event can develop quickly and cause catastrophic damage to life and property. Residents adequately preparing for floods can help ... -
Gamma Protocadherin Expression in the Embryonic Chick Nervous System
(East Carolina University, 2007)Protocadherin gamma (pcdh-gamma) family expression was examined in the embryonic chick central nervous system by in situ hybridization. Transcripts were visualized in discrete regions of fore-, mid-, and hindbrain at stages ... -
GENDER AND RACIAL IDENTITY, NORMATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG COLLEGE-AGED AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-08)African American women have a compounded risk for chronic disease development, poorer disease-related quality of life, and chronic disease mortality. While regular engagement in physical activity can reduce these risks, ... -
Gender and Racial Identity, Smoking Norms, and Smoking Behaviors Among College-Aged African American Women
(East Carolina University, 2018-11-27)African American women smoke less than their gender and racial counterparts, yet they face higher risk for smoking-related disease development, disease mortality, and poorer disease related quality of life. Therefore, it ... -
GENDER DIFFERENCES IN OCCUPATIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLES
