Dramatic Historicizing of Hawai`i : The Juxtaposition of Indigenous Culture, Colonization/Americanization, and 21st-Century Issues in the Island Plays and Writings of Victoria Nālani Kneubuhl
(East Carolina University, 2014)Victoria Nālani Kneubuhl, a prolific playwright and novelist, has become quite well-known for her works in critical dramatization of Hawai`i's colonial past, most often representing the Hawaiian Islands' cultural-socio-political ... -
Drilling Away the Spirits : A Worldwide Study of Trepanation
(East Carolina University, 2010)Trepanation is a worldwide phenomenon that is most often studied on a case-by-case basis, with few comparisons cross-culturally or through time and with no agreement as to why it was practiced. Earlier theories have ... -
Drivers of disaster planning among African-American households
(2023-10-13)The paper seeks to explore the drivers of disaster planning in African-American households. While the paper is exploratory, we attempt to dialogue with substantial theoretical and applied research around vulnerability and ... -
Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for efficient DNA replication and normal cell cycle progression
(2011)Background Proper coordination of the functions at the DNA replication fork is vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Specifically the precise coordination of helicase and polymerase activity is crucial for efficient ... -
Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for genome stability and normal cell cycle progression
(East Carolina University, 2010)Proper DNA replication and well-timed cell cycle progression are vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Precise coordination between these mechanisms' constituent proteins ensures their processivity while safeguarding ... -
Drosophila Oocytes as a Model for Understanding Meiosis: An Educational Primer to Accompany “Corolla Is a Novel Protein That Contributes to the Architecture of the Synaptonemal Complex of Drosophila”
(2015-01)Achieving a thorough understanding of the events and ramifications of meiosis is a common learning objective for undergraduate introductory biology, genetics, and cell biology courses. Meiosis is also one of the most ... -
Drosophila Ovarian Stem Cell Establishment is Regulated by Nuclear Hormone Receptor ftz-f1
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-28)Stem cells are a fundamental underpinning of tissue biology. Loss of the self-renewing function of stem cells leads to conditions such as infertility and tissue wasting. Stem cells integrate a variety of signals to maintain ... -
Drosophila Psf2 Has a Role In Chromosome Condensation
(East Carolina University, 2012)The condensation state of chromosomes is a critical parameter in multiple processes within the cell. Failures in the maintenance of appropriate condensation states may lead to genomic instability, mis-expression of genes, ... -
The Duff Reaction: Researching A Modification
(2014)Formylation reactions are used to synthesize aldehydes. The Duff reaction is a formylation reaction that uses phenol derivatives, hexamethylenetetramine, acetic acid, and acid to synthesis ortho substituted aromatic ... -
Duodenal carcinoma at the ligament of Treitz. A molecular and clinical perspective
(2010)Background There is very small occurrence of adenocarcinoma in the small bowel. We present a case of primary duodenal adenocarcinoma and discuss the findings of the case diagnostic modalities, current knowledge on the ... -
Dynamic and Thermodynamic Mechanisms for the Onset of the Southeastern United States Convective Season
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)The southeastern United States (SE US) receives ample precipitation year-round. In the winter, precipitation primarily comes from synoptic-scale baroclinic systems and cold fronts. Meanwhile, precipitation in the summer ... -
EARLY LIFE HISTORY OF LARVAL RIVER HERRING IN A COASTAL WATERSHED: ABUNDANCE, GROWTH, AND MORTALITY
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-18)River herring are two closely-related, anadromous fish species, Alewife (Alosa aestivalis) and Blueback Herring (A. pseudoharengus), which have been historically, commercially, and ecologically important along the North ... -
Early Nicotine Exposure Altered Larval Neuromuscular Function and Adult Germline Apoptosis via MiRNA-Dependent Mechanisms
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)MicroRNAs fine tune the expression of target genes needed for homeostasis. Our pilot study showed that nicotine altered 17% miRNAs in C. elegans larvae. Here, we investigated the role of microRNAs in mediating nicotine-induced ... -
Early Predictors of Physical Activity and Academic Achievement in Middle School
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-19)Children and adults spend the majority of their waking time engaged in sedentary activities. These activities may be affecting the child's physical and mental health. Little research exists on the relationship between ... -
