Nearshore mixing and nutrient delivery along the western Antarctic Peninsula
(2017)
The surface waters of the Southern Ocean play a key role in the global climate and carbon cycles by promoting growth of some of the world’s largest phytoplankton blooms. Several studies have emphasized the importance of ...
Characterization of the Bone Marrow Microenvironment During the Development of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Metastases
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype that lacks expression of progesterone and estrogen receptors, and does not over-express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is not responsive to standard ...
HOLOCENE PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNDA SHELF, OFF NORTHEASTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
In order to understand Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the western Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea), two gravity cores TER15-GC10A and TER15-GC9A were collected (2015) 33 and 37 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu ...
Characterizing Interactions of Thioflavin-T with Native Proteins Especially Bovine Serum Albumin
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Thioflavin T is a fluorescent probe used to monitor formation of cross [beta]-sheet rich amyloid fibrils. Involvement of the amyloid fibrils is implicated in more than 50 human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ...
Impact of Vessel Noise on Oyster Toadfish (Opsanus tau) Behavior and Implications for Underwater Noise Management
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Underwater noise and its impacts on marine life are growing management concerns. This dissertation considers both the ecological and social concerns of underwater noise, using the oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau) as a model ...
The Effect of Visual Queues on Social Status Formation and Mauthner Sensitivity in Zebrafish
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-27)
Zebrafish of the TLN strain, a genetic variant of the Tüpfel Long-fin (TL) wild-type zebrafish that does not display the trademark striped scale pattern of wild-type zebrafish, but are instead pale, were tested through a ...
HUMAN T-CELL LEUKEMIA VIRUS TYPE 1-ENCODED PROTEIN HBZ INCREASES VIRAL INFECTION
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-04)
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a complex retrovirus, infecting CD4+ T lymphocytes. About 10 million people worldwide are infected with HTLV-1. HTLV-1 has been linked to adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), a disease ...
ANALYSIS OF THE CULTURAL MODEL OF NUTRITION IN CENTRAL HONDURAS
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Currently present is a lack of cultural competency of the diet, the roles of available food, and preferred food choices of Hondurans. This creates disconnect between the people receiving dietary information and those who ...
The Role of Pre-Replication Complex Proteins in Drosophila Ovarian Stem Cell Maintenance and Proliferation
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) may hold the key to advances in cancer research. Like adult tissue-specific stem cells, CSCs are able to self-renew and last a lifetime. These shared characteristics can thus be used to help learn ...
INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR CONTROL OF ECDYSONE RESPONSE GENE, E74, IN THE DROSOPHILA OVARY.
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-05)
Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from precursor cells in the ovary. This process has been widely studied; however, many of the molecular mechanisms that regulate oocyte development and growth remain unclear. ...
