Establishing Validity for Measures of Executive Functioning and Behavior in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2013)
This study examined the criterion validity of the Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Functioning (BRIEF; Gioia, Isquith, Guy, & Kenworthy, 2000) and the Behavior Assessment System for Children, 2nd Edition (BASC-2; ...
Bioinformatic exploration of Hoxa2, Hoxb2, Hoxa11, and Hoxd11 in vertebrate evolution
(2015)
The purpose of this bioinformatic project was to develop an understanding of how gene evolution shaped morphological complexity within the vertebrate lineage by evaluating protein sequence variations within hoxa2, hoxb2, ...
Markov Chains, Random Walks, and Card Shuffling
(East Carolina University, 2016)
A common question in the study of random processes pertains to card shuffling. Whether or not a deck of cards is random can have huge implications on any game being played with those particular cards. This thesis explores ...
