Transcriptome sequencing of Crucihimalaya himalaica (Brassicaceae) reveals how Arabidopsis close relative adapt to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
(2016-02)
The extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides an ideal natural laboratory for studies on adaptive evolution. Few genome/transcriptome based studies have been conducted on how plants adapt to the ...
FROM WORKAHOLISM TO BURNOUT: AN INCLUSION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-25)
In the current study we sought to examine the relationships among workaholism, psychological capital (PsyCap), and burnout. According to previous research, the incidence of workaholism is increasing in the United States. ...
Using Fluorescent Probes to Study the Location and Interaction of Disaccharides within Lipid Bilayers
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-26)
It is well known that certain organisms, such as the tardigrade, are capable of surviving extreme conditions including dehydration, freezing and / or oxygen deficiency. The tardigrades ability to withstand such extreme ...
Optical Pulling, Optical Deflection, and Optical Trapping of Single Airborne Particles using Negative Photophoresis
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Optical manipulation is the use of light to control the motion of objects. This thesis focuses on the development of optical transportation technology via optical pulling with application to the characterization of single ...
Friends in the Meetinghouse and Masters in the Fields: Seventeenth Century Quakers in the Slave Society of Barbados
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-26)
The Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, are well known for their antislavery philosophy in the United States prior to the Civil War. During the 17th century, however, many Quakers owned plantations in ...
Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation

In this thesis, the author presents analysis of interviews with 7 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) writing center consultants presented through the analytical frameworks of queer and affect theory. ...
Development of a RAD-Seq Based DNA Polymorphism Identification Software, AgroMarker Finder, and Its Application in Rice Marker-Assisted Breeding
(2016-01)
Abstract
Rapid and accurate genome-wide marker detection is essential to the marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics studies. In this work, we developed an integrated software, AgroMarker Finder (AMF: ...
A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
(2016-01)
The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, with a well developed ...
