Conspecific pollen precedence and its contribution to speciation in Triodanis perfoliata
(2015)Speciation is the process by which one species diverges into two distinct species. To fully understand speciation, it is important to understand reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation, the inability of two individuals ... -
Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(East Carolina University, 2012)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ... -
Conspicuous Female Ornamentation and Tests of Male Mate Preference in Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2015-03-25)Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is generally less well understood. One example is the recently ... -
CONTRACT PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES IN NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS: PREVALENCE AND PRACTICE, 2013
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-10)This study is a follow-up to previous research conducted in 2000 that examined the prevalence and practices of contract psychologists in North Carolina as well as school-based psychologists. As with the previous study, ... -
Contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic adjustment in response to salt stress
(2015-09)The mechanism by which plants cope with salt stress remains poorly understood. The goal of this study is to systematically investigate the contribution and distribution of inorganic ions and organic compounds to the osmotic ... -
Controls on Septic System Wastewater Treatment and Shallow Groundwater Quality in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2009)Excess nitrogen and bacteria concentrations in coastal waters of North Carolina have led to eutrophic conditions, fish kills, and the closure of shellfish waters. Regulatory efforts by the state to reduce nitrogen and ... -

THE COROLLA WRECK EXPOSED : HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NORTH CAROLINA'S OLDEST SHIP
(East Carolina University, 2013)Because of the unexpected and spontaneous discovery of the Corolla Wreck in 2008, its relocation in 2009, and its dynamic six-month jaunt up and down the coast, all research questions posed by this thesis were formed in ... -
Corrections to Twenty Years of Banding : The Necessity of Precision
(East Carolina University, 2010)Statistically-based banding is often considered a viable method for minimizing adverse impact in test-based decisions. By utilizing the standard error of the difference (SED), scores are equated based on the assumption ... -
Correlating the Morphological and Light Scattering Properties of Biological Cells
(East Carolina University, 2013)The scattered light pattern from a biological cell is greatly influenced by the internal structure and optical properties of the cell. This research project examines the relationships between the morphological and scattering ... -
Corsairs in Drain Pipes : An Examination of the Submariner Folk Group in the United States Navy During the Second World War
(East Carolina University, 2014)During the Second World War, United States submariners were isolated from the rest of the Navy. Submariners faced a higher level and different type of danger than the rest of the Navy. They developed their own way of ... -
CORTISOL RESPONSE TO PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING INFORMATION AMONG AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN
(East Carolina University, 2012)According to national statistics, African American men have a 60% higher incidence rate, are diagnosed at later stages, and have twice the mortality rate of Caucasian men. The prostate cancer disparity is especially salient ... -
A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
(2016-01)The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, with a well developed ... -
Cotton, Rum, and Reason : Anti-Imperialist Poetry from 19th Century U.S. Newspapers and Post-Colonial Discourse
(East Carolina University, 2013)Though American post-colonial criticism is by no means a field in need of literary material, one particular corpus is missing from the discussion. This thesis situates 19th century anti-imperialist poetry within the larger ... -
