Using Vulnerability and Planning Data to Measure Resilience in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)Along the coast of North Carolina, development has put tremendous stress on already delicate natural systems. Consisting almost entirely of barrier islands, this region is highly dynamic and subject to a variety of acute ... -
Using Water Chemistry and Otolith Chemistry to Determine Strategic Habitat Areas for Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Albemarle Estuarine System of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important anadromous species that provides valuable ecological and economic benefits to North Carolina. Habitat degradation, alteration and destruction are ongoing, and agencies are ... -
The Utility of Digital Globe's WorldView-2 Satellite Data in Mapping Seagrass in North Carolina Estuaries
(East Carolina University, 2011)Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) is a valuable natural resource in North Carolina estuaries. The State's Coastal Habitat Protection Plan (CHPP) has stated a need to monitor SAV coverage over time. Thus, the Albemarle-Pamlico ... -
Utilizing Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to Quantify the Thermodynamics of Cadmium Mimicry: A Comparison to Calcium
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a powerful calorimetric method which can determine all thermodynamic parameters (K, [Delta]H, [Delta]G, and [Delta]S) for a binding event in a single experiment. More recently, ITC ... -
Vada Volaterrana: A Comparison of Roman Harbors and their Place Within Mediterranean Connectivity
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)This thesis focuses on the site of Vada Volaterrana in modern day Tuscany in the context of its Mediterranean connectivity. In this study, Mediterranean connectivity in the ancient Roman world addresses how harbor sites ... -
A validated protocol to quantify severity of male urogenital feminization using the MOUSE (Mouse objective urethral severity evaluation)
(2016-06-13)Background Congenital abnormalities vary in presentation, yet studies using model organisms tend to focus on occurrence rather than severity of the defect. Scoring severity of abnormalities in model systems allows explicit ... -
A Validation Assessment of the Hazards of Place Model of Vulnerability for Northeastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)As societal development continues to increase in floodplains, it is important to quantify the vulnerabilities associated with flooding. Using northeastern North Carolina as the study area, this thesis estimates the hazards ... -
VALIDATION OF CANDIDATE GENES IN RESPONSE TO VERSICAN MANIPULATION IN DEVELOPING SYNOVIAL JOINTS
(East Carolina University, 2012)Little is understood about the complex process of synovial joint formation in early limb development. It has been shown that versican is highly expressed in the extracellular matrix of these joints (Snow et al., 2005; ... -
The Value of Maritime Archaeological Heritage : An Exploratory Study of the Cultural Capital of Shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic
(East Carolina University, 2014)Off the coast of North Carolina's Outer Banks are the remains of ships spanning hundreds of years of history, architecture, technology, industry, and maritime culture. Potentially more than 2,000 ships have been lost in ...
