MOHSIN HAMID AND THE NOVEL OF GLOBALIZATION
(East Carolina University, 2014)With the rise of globalization, people and cultures are interconnected economically, culturally, and socially like never before. Where nationalism defined much of the modern period, defining how people formed social bonds ... -
Mohsin Hamid, Precarity, and the (Re)Education of Western Audiences in Post-9/11 West Asian Literature
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)This thesis explores the idea that the theory of precarity, as found throughout Judith Butler's post-9/11 essays, makes a useful tool and criticism in analyzing Mohsin Hamid's post-9/11 work to discover that one of the ... -
Molecular and Cellular Biology Animations: Development and Impact on Student Learning
(East Carolina University, 2005)Educators often struggle when teaching cellular and molecular processes because typically they have only two-dimensional tools to teach something that plays out in four dimensions. Learning research has demonstrated that ... -
Molecular chaperone Tetratricopeptide repeat protein 2 (Tpr2) is essential for germline stem cell self-renewal and timely cyst divisions in Drosophila melanogaster oogenesis
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)Steroid hormones influence cell proliferation and cell fate in developing and injured tissues. Although steroid hormone signaling has been well-studied, the precise mechanisms by which cells specifically receive steroid ... -
Molecular Dynamics Studies of Point Mutations of Cardiac Troponin C and Annexin
(East Carolina University, 2015)Calcium binding proteins are biologically important for their ability to convert changes in calcium ion concentration to functional changes in proteins. All calcium binding proteins use a calcium sensing motif that changes ... -
A Molecular Dynamics Study into Annexin A1 Induced Membrane Binding and Aggregation
(East Carolina University, 2010)Annexins constitute a family of proteins that bind to anionic membranes in a reversible and calcium dependent manner through the unique architecture of their calcium binding sites. In addition, annexins with relatively ... -
Molecular Epidemiology of MRSA Among Patients and Employees in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit
(East Carolina University, 2011)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a pervasive drug resistant human pathogen and has become widespread in hospitals around the world. MRSA infections cause approximately 19,000 deaths among hospitalized ... -
Molecular evolution of venom proteins in Ctenidae (Order: Araneae) spiders
(East Carolina University, 2021-01-20)Spiders comprise the largest group of venomous animals and are a pivotal component of the global ecosystem with approximately 50,000 species spread across nearly every habitat on Earth. The family Ctenidae Keyserling, 1877 ... -
Molecular phylogenetic evidence for a mimetic radiation in Peruvian poison frogs supports a Müllerian mimicry hypothesis.
(East Carolina University, 2001-12-07)Examples of Müllerian mimicry, in which resemblance between unpalatable species confers mutual benefit, are rare in vertebrates. Strong comparative evidence for mimicry is found when the colour and pattern of a single ...
