NR5A family member ftz-f1 is necessary to promote oocyte development
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Gamete production in mammals and insects is intimately tied to nutrition status. Conversion of nutritionally-dependent physiological signals to molecular mechanisms underlying control of oogenesis, however, remains largely ... -
Nuclear Progesterone Receptors Are Up-Regulated by Estrogens in Neurons and Radial Glial Progenitors in the Brain of Zebrafish
(2011)Abstract In rodents, there is increasing evidence that nuclear progesterone receptors are transiently expressed in many regions of the developing brain, notably outside the hypothalamus. This suggests that progesterone ... -
Nuclear Progestin Receptor (Pgr) Knockouts in Zebrafish Demonstrate Role for Pgr in Ovulation but Not in Rapid Non-Genomic Steroid Mediated Meiosis Resumption
(2015-03)Progestins, progesterone derivatives, are the most critical signaling steroid for initiating final oocyte maturation (FOM) and ovulation, in order to advance fully-grown immature oocytes to become fertilizable eggs in basal ... -
NUTRIENT AND BACTERIA DYNAMICS OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANTS IN COASTAL CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)Nutrient and bacteria enrichment problems are well documented in the waterways along North Carolina's coast. Surface and subsurface wastewater inputs have been documented as a source of these pollutants in a variety of ... -
Nutrient contributions from septic systems in nutrient-sensitive watersheds: Quantifying nutrient inputs, reduction methods, and economic feasibility
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-30)Eutrophication of surface waters is a global issue threatening aquatic ecosystems and recreational opportunities. Nutrient management strategies exist to reduce nutrient inputs from various sources; however, septic systems ... -
Oak, Steel, and Men: The History of USS Constitution through Artifact Biographies
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)USS Constitution is the oldest warship afloat in the world. After launching on 21 October 1797, the vessel served with distinction in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812. While USS Constitution remains in port as a living ... -
Object-based machine learning correction of LiDAR using RTK-GNSS to model the potential effects of sea-level rise in Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)Coastal wetland systems are a vital habitat that provide many beneficial services; however, the complexity of these habitats makes it difficult for conservation managers to preserve these environments and predict future ... -
Observations on spiny dogfish () captured in late spring in a North Carolina estuary
(2014-10)Five spiny dogfish were captured in early-mid May during gillnet and longline sampling targeting juvenile coastal sharks in inshore North Carolina waters. Dogfish captures were made within Back Sound and Core Sound, North ... -
Occurrence of Escherichia coli (E coli) and Enterococcus in shallow groundwater adjacent to onsite wastewater treatment systems in Washington, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have been identified as a potential source of microbial contamination of groundwater. Microbial indicators, such as E.coli and Enterococcus, are transported from these systems ... -
Oceanic loading of wildfire-derived organic compounds from a small mountainous river
(2008)Small mountainous rivers (SMRs) export substantial amounts of sediment into the world's oceans. The concomitant yield of organic carbon (OC) associated with this class of rivers has also been shown to be significant and ... -
