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 ...
EGID: an ensemble algorithm for improved genomic island detection in genomic sequences
(2011)
Genomic islands (GIs) are genomic regions that are originally transferred from other organisms. The detection of genomic islands in genomes can lead to many applications in industrial, medical and environmental contexts. ...
Conspecific brood parasitism in the tropics: an experimental investigation of host responses in common moorhens and American purple gallinules
(2011-11)
Species occupying a broad latitudinal range may show greater phenotypic plasticity in behavior than species with smaller ranges or more specific habitat requirements. This study investigates for the first time the occurrence ...
Evidence for acquisition of virulence effectors in pathogenic chytrids
(2011)
Background
The decline in amphibian populations across the world is frequently linked to the infection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). This is particularly perplexing because Bd was only recently ...
Analyses of the oligopeptide transporter gene family in poplar and grape
(2011)
Background
Oligopeptide transporters (OPTs) are a group of membrane-localized proteins that have a broad range of substrate transport capabilities and that are thought to contribute to many biological processes. The OPT ...
Using Vulnerability and Planning Data to Measure Resilience in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Along the coast of North Carolina, development has put tremendous stress on already delicate natural systems. Consisting almost entirely of barrier islands, this region is highly dynamic and subject to a variety of acute ...
Analyzing Resident Place Satisfaction in a Tourist Destination through Auto-Photography : The Case of Southern Shores, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Resident place satisfaction in tourist destinations lies at the heart of the movement toward more socially sustainable development. Addressing the place-based views and concerns of residents is necessary for maintaining ...
Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology of the Blue Monday Sandstone, Central West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The Upper Mississippian Blue Monday sandstone is a primarily gas producing unit found in several central West Virginia gas fields. The purpose of this study was to characterize the stratigraphy and petroleum geology as ...
Functional and Structural Sediment Connectivity within a Recently Burned Basin
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Human populations have continued their unrelenting expansion into the wildland-urban interface and in locales which are prone to wildfire, the risk of secondary hazards associated with wildfires such as debris flows and ...
A Folkloric Study On Wide Sargasso Sea
(East Carolina University, 2011)
This study aims to offer an alternative approach to analyze and understand literary texts through folklore. I focused on Jean Rhys's famous novel Wide Sargasso Sea, which has often been examined through a postcolonial ...
