An Initial Calibration of a Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) Material Analysis System Using GUPIXWin
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-17)Proton induced x-ray emission (PIXE) technology has been used extensively over the last few decades to perform highly accurate multi-elemental trace element analyses with much success. The recent implementation of a new ... -
AN INITIAL STUDY OF THE EXAMINATION OF PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE OF SYMPTOMS AND SEQUELAE OF MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
(East Carolina University, 2021-11-15)Almost 3 million Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are reported in the United States annually, however this number is believed to be a significant underestimation of the true occurrence of TBIs. Although TBIs occur frequently, ... -
An investigation of alkaloid sequestration by the poison frog Dendrobates auratus when fed the fire ant Solenopsis invicta
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Poison frogs are known for their bright coloration, parental care, and defensive toxins. Over 850 different alkaloids have been discovered in the skin of poison frogs. The alkaloid defenses are acquired from a specialized ... -

(East Carolina University, 2014)North Carolina both historically and currently maintains one of the most productive fishery resource basins in the nation. However, fish stocks are spatially and temporally variable in abundance and distribution in estuarine ... -
Analysis of Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 2012)Circular Dichroism (CD) and Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopies measure the difference in absorption between left and right circularly polarized light and parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized light as a function ... -
Analysis of Complex DNA Damage Associated with Tumor Growth
(East Carolina University, 2012)The innate response of a fully functioning immune system's ability to recognize and react to the growth of a tumor by releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) may lead to chronic inflammation in many cases. This chronic ... -
Analysis of Infrastructure Damage After Superstorm Sandy : A Case Study of Long Beach, NY
(East Carolina University, 2015)Although much is known about the geomorphology of barrier islands and how barrier islands respond to storm events, no research has considered the implications of dense development on storm damage patterns. This research ...
