Assessing Morphological Variability in Silversides along the Mid-Atlantic Bight
(2015)
Inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) and Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) are ubiquitous fishes in the estuaries on the east coast of the United States. These species are very similar in appearance and may share ...
Holocene Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Change of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Understanding how coastal systems respond to changes in climate is becoming more important due to the current increased rate of sea-level rise and possible increased hurricane intensity in the future. While coastal ecosystems ...
Responses of Leaf Litter Breakdown Rates and Microbial Enzyme Activity to Salinity in North Carolina Wetlands
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Sea-level rise and human activities are causing the increase of salinity in coastal freshwater wetlands. Increased salinity in some wetlands has been found to accelerate leaf litter decomposition, an important driver of ...
Graviton and photon orbitals surrounding a black hole : Application to the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way galactic center, with NIR observational confirmation.
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Non-relativistic Quantum Theory fairly accurately describes the resonance phenomena around a black hole, even though black holes are thought of as general relativistic (GR) objects. Graphically and numerically we are able ...
Analysis of Myopodin in Hela Cervical Carcinoma Cells
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Synaptopodin-2 is a proline-rich, actin-binding protein that exists in many isoforms. Due to its large proline content, synaptopodin-2 exists in a naturally unfolded state and possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. ...
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
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)
Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary ...
