Markov Chains, Random Walks, and Card Shuffling
(East Carolina University, 2016)A common question in the study of random processes pertains to card shuffling. Whether or not a deck of cards is random can have huge implications on any game being played with those particular cards. This thesis explores ... -
Marsh macrophyte responses to inundation anticipate impacts of sea-level rise and indicate ongoing drowning of North Carolina marshes
(2012-10)In situ persistence of coastal marsh habitat as sea level rises depends on whether macrophytes induce compensatory accretion of the marsh surface. Experimental planters in two North Carolina marshes served to expose two ... -
Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Cornel West, Barack Obama: Giving Voice and Purpose to African American Subalterns
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Cornel West, and Barack Obama are influential figures who advocate for drastic changes, especially for repressed and oppressed African Americans. The texts selected all respective ... -
MATERIALIZING MAKERSPACES: QUEERLY COMPOSING SPACE, TIME, AND (WHAT) MATTERS
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-19)This dissertation project explores makerspaces as non-traditional composing networks where makers work with (and against) unconventional digital and physical materials such as vinyl, cut paper, plastic filament, insects, ... -
Maternal input of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) : Determining a mother's life history from its progeny in coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)Otolith studies have become more prevalent in recent years as use has expanded from ageing to examination of migration patterns and fidelity to natal habitats, and more recently examining otoliths for possible maternal ... -
Mathematical Analysis of Tsunami and Rogue Waves
(East Carolina University, 2012)In this thesis both forced and non-linear wave equations will be studied. Actual data from tsunami and rogue waves will be used and a signal analysis will be performed using wavelets. Main results show that a different ... -
Mathematical Aspects of Image Processing
(East Carolina University, 2014)In this thesis, image processing is explored from a mathematical point of view. After defining a digitized image, techniques for adjusting resolution are discussed. Image transformations defined on a neighborhood centered ... -
Mathematical Modeling of Oxygen Transport, Cell Killing and Cell Decision Making in Photodynamic Therapy of Cancer
(East Carolina University, 2012)In this study we present a model of in vitro cell killing through type II Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for simulation of the molecular interactions leading to cell death in time domain in the presence of oxygen transport ... -
Matters of Steel : Illustrating and Assessing the Deterioration of the World War II Merchant Freighter Caribsea
(East Carolina University, 2015)The purpose of this thesis is to acquire historical and archaeological datasets for the illustration and interpretation of site formation processes affecting a World War II merchant shipwreck, and to use this data to develop ... -
Maturation and fecundity of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Rivers striped bass (morone saxatilis) stocks in coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)The Albemarle/Roanoke stock makes up the largest contingent of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the state; however, other economically important populations exist elsewhere. The Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) ... -
Maturation, Fecundity, and Spawning Frequency of the Albemarle/Roanoke Striped Bass Stock
(East Carolina University, 2011)The principal striped bass, Morone saxatilis population in North Carolina, the Albemarle/Roanoke (A/R) stock has grown tremendously in size and age structure over the last twenty years necessitating an up-to-date maturity ... -
MCM10 Genetic Screen Using Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Genes and the proteins they encode are responsible for virtually every aspect of life. The vast array of biological processes make it difficult to identify genes to study that are relevant to human diseases. MCM10 (short ...
