ANALYSIS OF OXYGENATED POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND THEIR PARENT MOLECULES IN BIOCHAR AND ITS LEACHATES
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Due to the increasing use of biochar as a soil amendment, the amount and composition of contaminants in biochar should be analyzed. Two of those suites of compounds in biochar are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ... -
Analysis of scn5Laa and scn5Lab Gene Function in Danio rerio (Zebrafish) Heart Development through TALENs/CRISPR-CAS9-mediated Gene Knockout
(East Carolina University, 2015)Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular developmental genetic effects of crude oil exposure on vertebrate embryogenesis. Our research has demonstrated that exposure of zebrafish embryos to ... -
Analysis of Sediment Erosion and Deposition Across High Marsh and Tide Channel Sites in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)Bare spots associated with vegetation die-off along a tidal channel and adjacent marsh platform in the "Gut" in Wellfleet, MA area are a direct result of winter storms and increased crab herbivory. Sediment transport from ... -
An Analysis of Sex Differences in Empathy and Forgiveness
(East Carolina University, 2009)The relationships among sex, empathy, and forgiveness were examined. A sample of 108 undergraduates, aged 18 to 35 years, participated in interviews and completed a series of instruments to assess both state and trait ... -
ANALYSIS OF THE CULTURAL MODEL OF NUTRITION IN CENTRAL HONDURAS
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)Currently present is a lack of cultural competency of the diet, the roles of available food, and preferred food choices of Hondurans. This creates disconnect between the people receiving dietary information and those who ... -
Analysis of the hex regulon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2012)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen whose defense mechanisms include biofilm production through carbohydrate metabolism. The activity of the enzymes in the hex regulon are required for catabolism of glucose ... -
AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT
(2014)Perhaps no technological innovation in modern history made more of an impact on the course of international relations than the creation of the nuclear bomb. The question of its exact influence on international affairs is ... -
Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence
(2016-01-08)Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male ... -
Analysis of the miR319 target Zmtcptf24 in the maize inflorescence
(2014-12)Maize inflorescences are essential for reproduction and also produce seeds that are consumed as food. To understand the genetics pathways that control normal inflorescence development, we study mutants with abnormal ... -
ANALYTICAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER TO INNER SHELL ELECTRONS
(East Carolina University, 2011)The Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA), the most prevalent First Born Approximation (FBA), serves as input into theories well beyond the scope of the PWBA. Using Mathematica's advanced symbolic programming capabilities ... -
Analyzing Estuarine Shoreline Change in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2009)With continued climate change, sea-level rise, and coastal development, concern about shoreline dynamics has expanded beyond oceanfront areas to encompass more protected coastal water bodies, such as estuaries. Because ... -
Analyzing Resident Place Satisfaction in a Tourist Destination through Auto-Photography : The Case of Southern Shores, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)Resident place satisfaction in tourist destinations lies at the heart of the movement toward more socially sustainable development. Addressing the place-based views and concerns of residents is necessary for maintaining ... -
Ancient gene transfer from algae to animals: Mechanisms and evolutionary significance
(2012)Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is traditionally considered to be rare in multicellular eukaryotes such as animals. Recently, many genes of miscellaneous algal origins were discovered in choanoflagellates. ... -
Ancient Genome Duplications Did Not Structure the Human Hox-Bearing Chromosomes
(East Carolina University, 2001-05)The fact that there are four homeobox (Hox) clusters in most vertebrates but only one in invertebrates is often cited as evidence for the hypothesis that two rounds of genome duplication by polyploidization occurred early ...
