(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Montefortino helmets quickly became the dominant form of head gear throughout Europe and the Mediterranean once introduced by the Celts. During the First Punic War, it was the helmet in use by much of the Roman forces, ...
A Comprehensive Approach to Identify Reliable Reference Gene Candidates to Investigate the Link between Alcoholism and Endocrinology in Sprague-Dawley Rats
(2014)
Gender and hormonal differences are often correlated with alcohol dependence and related complications like addiction and breast cancer. Estrogen (E2) is an important sex hormone because it serves as a key protein involved ...
Genome-Wide Functional Analysis of the Cotton Transcriptome by Creating an Integrated EST Database
(2011)
A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ...
Evolution of Plant Nucleotide-Sugar Interconversion Enzymes
(2011)
Nucleotide-diphospho-sugars (NDP-sugars) are the building blocks of diverse polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in all organisms. In plants, 11 families of NDP-sugar interconversion enzymes (NSEs) have been identified, ...
Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants
(2014)
Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product ...
Alkaloid defenses of co-mimics in a putative Müllerian mimetic radiation
(2014)
Background
Polytypism in aposematic species is unlikely according to theory, but commonly seen in nature. Ranitomeya imitator is a poison frog species exhibiting polytypic mimicry of three congeneric model species (R. ...
THE SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PHOSPHORESCENT CYCLOMETALATED N^N^C-COORDINATED PLATINUM COMPLEXES
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
Phosphorescent materials based on cyclometalated platinum complexes have attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential in chemical, biological and optoelectronic applications, specifically as emitters in ...
Back-Barrier Sediment and Hydrodynamic Processes: Insights from Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
Barrier islands are found around the world, and their geomorphic evolution is related to ocean and estuarine processes. Processes including sediment mobilization and shoreline evolution on both the ocean and estuarine side ...
Investigating the role of CRL5, an ubiquitin ligase, in ovarian follicle development.
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
During oogenesis, follicle cells surround maturing oocytes, which produce factors necessary for proper oocyte growth and development. Correct encapsulation of the oocyte by follicle cells is therefore essential for ...
The Needs of Military-Connected Students within the North Carolina Public School System
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
The present study assessed how the mental health needs of military-connected students are addressed within public schools in the state of North Carolina, particularly how aware and comfortable school staff are regarding ...
