The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate contextual factors that affect food allergic children's development of anxiety. It was hypothesized that parent stress, anxiety, family functioning, and child attitudes ...
LAKE PHELPS DUGOUT LOG CANOES: CONSERVATION, RETREATMENT, AND PUBLIC DISPLAY
(East Carolina University, 2016-03-17)
During the latter part of the 1980s, nearly thirty prehistoric dugout log canoes were discovered at Lake Phelps, in eastern North Carolina. Of those reported, four of these canoes were retrieved and conserved with a sugar ...
Holocene Sedimentary Record from the Sunda Shelf off Peninsular Malaysia: Insights from Elemental, Isotopic and Bulk Sediment Magnetic Susceptibility Analyses
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-19)
Post-Last Glacial Maximum (since ca. 20,000 cal yr BP) sediments of the Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea) are generally thin, with the exception of incised valleys where thicker accumulations tend to occur. These ...

Proteome quantification of cotton xylem sap suggests the mechanisms of potassium-deficiency-induced changes in plant resistance to environmental stresses
(2016-02)
Proteomics was employed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of apoplastic response to potassium(K)-deficiency in cotton. Low K (LK) treatment significantly decreased the K and protein contents of xylem sap. Totally, ...
Genome Analysis of Planctomycetes Inhabiting Blades of the Red Alga
(2016-03)
Porphyra is a macrophytic red alga of the Bangiales that is important ecologically and economically. We describe the genomes of three bacteria in the phylum Planctomycetes (designated P1, P2 and P3) that were isolated from ...
Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function
(2016-01)
Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular ...
