Climate Change Alters Trophic Interactions in Coastal Ecosystems
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)Understanding the effects of multiple anthropogenic changes on local ecosystems is important for understanding community interactions. Because they lie at the interface between the land and sea coastal ecosystems are often ... -
Climate Change and the Sea Breeze in the North Carolina Coast
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)Forecasting SB genesis and evolution is often a difficult task for coastal meteorologists. This is especially the case when attempting to forecast SB-induced precipitation, as not every SB front induces rainfall. The two ... -
Climate change effects on precipitation organization : a summertime case study in the southeast United States
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)The delivery of precipitation through large and small scale precipitation features plays a key role in the hydrological cycle. Therefore, it is important to understand how the organization of precipitation will change as ... -
A Climatology of the Structure, Frequency, and Propagation of Midlatitude Cyclones that Affect North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2013)The seasonal and interannual variability of midlatitude cyclone structure, frequency, and propagation was studied based on composites of precipitation over North Carolina. This analysis showed significant changes in the ... -
Clogging information flow in ALS
(2014-09-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes a progressive loss of motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death typically within 2 to 5 ... -
Cloning and Characterization of the Classical Maize Mutant, Polytypic1
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-15)Polytypic1 (Pt1) is a semi-dominant mutant in maize that affects inflorescence development. To understand how Pt1 functions in development, I examined the phenotype of Pt1 mutants in multiple inbred backgrounds. Pt1 defects ... -
Cloning, expression, and characterization of a membrane progestin receptor and evidence it is an intermediary in meiotic maturation of fish oocytes
(East Carolina University, 2003-03-04)The structures of membrane receptors mediating rapid, nongenomic actions of steroids have not been identified. We describe the cloning of a cDNA from spotted seatrout ovaries encoding a protein that satisfies the following ... -
Co-occurring ADHD and Substance Abuse : Substance Use Patterns, Motives and Executive Functioning
(East Carolina University, 2014)Objective: This study examined potential differences between patients in outpatient treatment for substance use disorders with ADHD and those without ADHD. Previous research has indicated that there is a higher prevalence ...
