Nickel as a mutagen and as an enabler of EMS genotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2016-01-15)Nickel is found naturally and vital for survival of some organisms. Nickel occurs as a metal as insoluble compounds and soluble compounds. Nickel exposure has increased due to urbanization from various sources including ... -
Nicotine Controlof Germline Cell Fate in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2015-05)Nicotine dependence is the single largest cause of preventable death in the world, claiming 480,000 lives each year in the US alone, including those caused by secondhand smoke. In this study, we investigated the biological ... -
Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ... -
Nicotine exposure caused significant transgenerational heritable behavioral changes in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2013-09)Passive and active exposure to tobacco smoking among youth is directly associated with immediate as well as long-term health deterioration. Despite all public health policies and efforts, the percentage of teenage smokers ... -
NMR characterizations of an amyloidogenic conformational ensemble of the PI3K SH3 domain
(East Carolina University, 2006-11)Amyloid formation is associated with structural changes of native polypeptides to monomeric intermediate states and their self-assembly into insoluble aggregates. Characterizations of the amyloidogenic intermediate state ... -
NMR Studies into the Potential Interactions of Fullerene C[subscript]60, with Tetraphenylporphyrin, H[subscript]2[TPP] and Some of its Derivatives
(East Carolina University, 2011)The curved [pi] surface of fullerene, C[subscript]60, shows a tendency to interact with other molecules, making it an interesting target for building supramolecular arrays. The interaction can be relative strong and may ... -
No Thaw This Spring: The Competing Values of Lyndon Johnson and Alexander Dubcek
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)American scholars have shown considerable interest in the geopolitical consequences of the Czechoslovak reform movement now known as the Prague Spring. Research has focused on the Soviet decision to put a stop to the ... -
Non-Linear Interactions between Consumers and Flow Determine the Probability of Plant Community Dominance on Maine Rocky Shores
(2013)Although consumers can strongly influence community recovery from disturbance, few studies have explored the effects of consumer identity and density and how they may vary across abiotic gradients. On rocky shores in Maine, ... -
Nonconsumptive effects in a multiple predator system reduce the foraging efficiency of a keystone predator
(2013-09)Many studies have demonstrated that the nonconsumptive effect (NCE) of predators on prey traits can alter prey demographics in ways that are just as strong as the consumptive effect (CE) of predators. Less well studied, ...
