Hydrogeomorphology and Horizontal Movement of Juncus roemerianus
(East Carolina University, 2015)Juncus roemerianus, black needlerush, is common in high marshes and occasionally in low marshes along the Mid-Atlantic and southern USA. Previous work found that J. roemerianus patches remained relatively stable in the ... -
Hydrologic Dynamics in Response to Natural and Anthropogenic Stresses on a Barrier Island: Saltwater Intrusion and Inundation.
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)The impacts of climate change and sea-level rise on groundwater systems on barrier islands are not well documented in the literature. Globally, there is high competition for useable land in coastal regions because large ... -
Hypoxia and Serum Deprivation in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells, and the Protective Role of Thymosin [Beta]-4
(East Carolina University, 2011)Background: Current literature suggests nutrient deprivation and hypoxia affect human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) survival after cell transplantation. Wound-healing protein Thymosin [beta]-4 (T[beta]-4) has been shown ... -
I Might Be Wrong ; and, As If It Was Made of Glass
(East Carolina University, 2012)These two stories of exceptional length feature narrators whose idiosyncratic moral dilemmas are indicative of larger social ills. Instead of the traditional epiphany so prevalent in 20th Century short stories, the characters ... -
Idempotents in Cyclic Codes
(East Carolina University, 2012)Cyclic codes give us the most probable method by which we may detect and correct data transmission errors. These codes depend on the development of advanced mathematical concepts. It is shown that cyclic codes, when viewed ... -
Identification and mapping of two divergent, unlinked major histocompatibility complex class II B genes in Xiphophorus fishes.
(East Carolina University, 1998-08)We have isolated two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B genes from the inbred fish strain Xiphophorus maculatus Jp 163 A. We mapped one of these genes, designated here as DXB, to linkage group III, linked ... -
Identification of a Potential RNAzyme in Brucella abortus with Heme-Dependent Peroxidase Activity
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)Bovine brucellosis is of significant concern to the U.S. cattle industry and has not been controlled by vaccination in some areas of the world. The inability to control this pathogen is currently a serious public health ... -
Identification of Damaged DNA Adducts from Exposure to Benzo[a]pyrene in the TP53 Gene
(2015)Benzo[a]pyrene is a carcinogen associated with tobacco smoke that can damage DNA after it is metabolized into highly reactive forms. Identifying the resulting DNA adducts can give greater insight into the mutations that ... -
IDENTIFICATION OF GEOCHEMICAL TRACERS WITHIN BIOMINERALS OF JUVENILE AND LARVAL MERCENARIA MERCENARIA : IMPLICATIONS FOR MODELING LARVAL DISPERSAL
(East Carolina University, 2013)This study was designed to investigate the application of geochemical signals within biominerals to identify site fidelity and natal origin of the commercially valuable bivalve Mercenaria mercenaria. My first study ...
