Insecticides Alter the Ability of Predator Assemblages to Suppress Prey
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Agrochemicals are often deposited into freshwater bodies via rainfall and snowmelt events and can have consequences for populations and communities. Insecticides in aquatic systems can cause mortality, behavioral, and ... -
Insight Into the Location of DNA Xenobiotic Damage by Mass Spectrometry
(2014)Damage to DNA by a bioactivated xenobiotic typically occurs at specific sites within the genome, called hotspots. An example of this is benzo[a]-pyrene (BP), a xenobiotic that enters the body via cigarette smoking. ... -
INSIGHTS INTO THE HABITAT AND BREEDING BIOLOGY OF THE FEDERALLY ENDANGERED HERBACEOUS PLANT, THALICTRUM COOLEYI, AHLES
(East Carolina University, 2015)Thalictrum cooleyi Ahles (Cooley's meadowrue, Ranunculaceae) is a dioecious species, endemic to fire-dependent, wet pine savannas of the southeastern US. T. cooleyi was listed as federally endangered in 1989; knowledge ... -
Installation of Metal-Binding Functionality at Lysine Residues via Azide-Alkyne "Click Chemistry"
(2015-04-29)A novel non-natural amino acid designed to bind divalent metal ions, dubbed Lys(PYRIT), was prepared in a “click reaction” by treating Fmoc-Lys(N3)-OH with 2-ethynylpyridine and Cu(I). It was incorporated into a 12-residue ... -

Integral Captions and Subtitles: Designing a Space for Embodied Rhetorics and Visual Access
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-28)This dissertation challenges the conventions of adding static captions to the bottom of videos and instead advocates for designing integral captions and integral subtitles that interact with bodies, sound, and other modes ... -
An Integrated Method for Monitoring Material Transport in a Coupled Land-Estuary System Following a Dynamic Storm Event : The Neuse River and Estuary, NC and Hurricane Irene
(East Carolina University, 2013)Coastal aquatic environments are complex and dynamic systems that are influenced by both marine and terrestrial processes such as waves, tides, winds and freshwater discharge. Rivers are conduits that transport freshwater ... -
Integrative multi-omic analyses identify novel biomarkers for recurrent stroke in participants from the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) clinical trial
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Background: Recurrent strokes are deadlier and more disabling than primary strokes and over 185,000 individuals in the US suffer a recurrent event each year. Current diagnostic and at-risk identification tools are inadequate ... -
