Investigation of possible driving forces on counter-intuitive thermal collapse of intrinsically disordered proteins
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)Intrinsically disordered proteins are an emerging class of proteins that contain no secondary or tertiary structure. Through bioinformatics studies it has been predicted that a third of the human proteome consists of ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE TAPHONOMIC EFFECTS OF ANIMAL SCAVENGING
(East Carolina University, 2014)Numerous environmental and human-induced variables that affect decomposition can cloud accurate estimations of the postmortem interval (PMI). For instance, scavenging animals can remove soft tissue and disarticulate and ... -
Investigation of the Zinc binding region of Prothymosin-alpha : A spectroscopic and thermodynamic approach to study metal binding in Intrinsically disordered proteins
(East Carolina University, 2014)The goal of this study is to provide a deeper insight into how metals bind intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) by taking zinc binding to prothymosin-alpha as a case study. The involvement of metals in several diseases ... -
Investigations into the Oldest Standing Structure in North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)In 2010, Steven and Linda Lane purchased 304 East Queen Street, Edenton, North Carolina. While renovating the structure they discovered that it was much older than previously thought. The results of a dendrochronology ... -
Ion Traffic Across Cellular Membranes
(East Carolina University, 2010)The cell membrane protects the delicate internal machinery of the cell and hosts a complex transport system for ion exchange with the environment. Energy is continually expended to maintain a transmembrane electrical ... -
Ionian Revolt, Reconsidered
(East Carolina University, 2010)In the scope of historical events recorded by Herodotus, no event has been more pivotal in capturing the relationship between the mainland and Ionian Greeks and their enemy, and at times supporter, Persian Empire than the ... -
IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF BULK ROCKS AND Fe-Ti OXIDES FROM THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, SE GREENLAND
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-23)Small, but significant fractionation of Fe isotopes occurs in high-temperature igneous rocks. Despite increasing study, the exact causes of this fractionation are still debated. Therefore, a systematic study of a complete ... -

Irredundant and Mixed Ramsey Numbers
(East Carolina University, 2013)The irredundant Ramsey number, s(m,n), is the smallest p such that in every two-coloring of the edges of K[subscript]p using colors red (R) and blue (B), either the blue subgraph contains an m-element irredundant set or ... -
IS PREDATION BY TURTLES SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO AFFECT BIODIVERSITY WITHIN FISHLESS PONDS?
(East Carolina University, 2011)Ecologists have long known that predation can have a strong effect on the diversity and abundance of prey in ecological communities. Much evidence on the importance of predation in aquatic systems has stemmed from studies ...
