Molecular Dynamics Studies of Point Mutations of Cardiac Troponin C and Annexin
(East Carolina University, 2015)Calcium binding proteins are biologically important for their ability to convert changes in calcium ion concentration to functional changes in proteins. All calcium binding proteins use a calcium sensing motif that changes ... -
A Molecular Dynamics Study into Annexin A1 Induced Membrane Binding and Aggregation
(East Carolina University, 2010)Annexins constitute a family of proteins that bind to anionic membranes in a reversible and calcium dependent manner through the unique architecture of their calcium binding sites. In addition, annexins with relatively ... -
Molecular Epidemiology of MRSA Among Patients and Employees in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit
(East Carolina University, 2011)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a pervasive drug resistant human pathogen and has become widespread in hospitals around the world. MRSA infections cause approximately 19,000 deaths among hospitalized ... -
Molecular phylogenetic evidence for a mimetic radiation in Peruvian poison frogs supports a Müllerian mimicry hypothesis.
(East Carolina University, 2001-12-07)Examples of Müllerian mimicry, in which resemblance between unpalatable species confers mutual benefit, are rare in vertebrates. Strong comparative evidence for mimicry is found when the colour and pattern of a single ... -
A Monte Carlo Evaluation of the Application of Variance Partitioning to the Assessment of Construct-related Validity
(East Carolina University, 2012)The present study presents a Monte Carlo evaluation of the application of variance partitioning to the assessment of the construct-related validity of assessment center (AC) post exercise dimension ratings (PEDRs). Data ... -
Morphology, Geologic History and Dynamics of Wimble Shoals, Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Barrier islands around the world protect estuaries and mainland areas, creating important habitat as well as environmentally and economically valuable property. Barrier islands represent 10%, of global shorelines and are ... -
A Mortuary Analysis of the Structure 7 Cemetery at Town Creek, a Mississippian Site in the Piedmont of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2013)Town Creek is a prehistoric Native American site in central North Carolina. The Mississippian period occupation, from about A.D. 1150-1350, saw the most intensive use of the site. The community transformed from a residential ... -

The "Most Accurate, Least Factual" Writer : Hunter S. Thompson, Journalist
(East Carolina University, 2010)New Journalism, as practiced by Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, and other writers, loosened the accepted bounds of journalism in the 1960s. Embracing these unrestricted journalism practices, Hunter S. Thompson adapted the New ... -
Movements of North Carolina Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis, Inferred through Otolith Microchemistry
(East Carolina University, 2014)Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis, is an anadromous, recreationally and commercially important fish species found throughout the U.S. Atlantic east coast, whose migrations have been intensely studied. A review of the relevant ... -
