Deep sequencing identifies novel and conserved microRNAs in peanuts (L.)
(2010)
Background
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small, endogenous RNAs that play a regulatory role in the cell by negatively affecting gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs have been shown to control ...
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 ...
Nonconsumptive effects in a multiple predator system reduce the foraging efficiency of a keystone predator
(2013-09)
Many studies have demonstrated that the nonconsumptive effect (NCE) of predators on prey traits can alter prey demographics in ways that are just as strong as the consumptive effect (CE) of predators. Less well studied, ...
Male Choice in the Stream-Anadromous Stickleback Complex
(2012)
Studies of mating preferences and pre-mating reproductive isolation have often focused on females, but the potential importance of male preferences is increasingly appreciated. We investigated male behavior in the context ...
The Students' Voices in Developmental Education
(East Carolina University, 2014)
This dissertation explores community college students' perceptions and assumptions about developmental education in writing classrooms. The study focuses on students who have taken at least one developmental writing class ...
Three Generations, One Future: A Systematic Analysis on Nicotine's Effect across generations in C. elegans.
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Tobacco smoking is a worldwide epidemic that is responsible for diseases and death rates that surpass those attributed to a combination of other causes (e.g. cancer, HIV, accidents). A major mediator of tobacco-smoke related ...
College View Historic District : A case Study of Historic Preservation in Greenville, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)
During the period of urban renewal, especially during the 1970s and 1980s, Greenville, N.C. was losing much of its historic built environment. Concerned citizens joined together to establish the Historic Properties ...
SALINITY DISTRIBUTION IN A CHANNELIZED WETLAND AT EMILY AND RICHARDSON PREYER BUCKRIDGE COASTAL RESERVE, TYRRELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve is a low-lying, peatland-dominated freshwater wetland located in the southern Albemarle Estuarine System. The construction of an extensive canal network that ...
MOHSIN HAMID AND THE NOVEL OF GLOBALIZATION
(East Carolina University, 2014)
With the rise of globalization, people and cultures are interconnected economically, culturally, and socially like never before. Where nationalism defined much of the modern period, defining how people formed social bonds ...
Step It Up ECU : Comparing a 10,000 Step a Day Goal to a Small, Relative Step Goal in a Pedometer-Based Physical Activity Intervention
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Pedometers have been shown to be valid and effective tools for increasing physical activity, which is associated with improved overall health. While most research encourages participants to achieve 10,000 steps per day, ...
