Characterization of Extracellular Polymeric Substances from Acidophilic Microbial Biofilms
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)
We examined the chemical composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extracted from two natural microbial pellicle biofilms growing on acid mine drainage (AMD) solutions. The EPS obtained from a mid-developmental-stage ...
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Valentines Iron Formation, Nico Pérez Terrane, Eastern Uruguay, and Significance for the Redox Conditions of Early Earth's Oceans
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Valentines Iron Formation of eastern Uruguay is one of three well-defined rock units that comprise the Valentines Formation, and is commonly interlayered with felsic and intermediate granulites. The iron formations ...
Repair of Clustered DNA Lesions in Double Strand Break Repair Deficient Human Tumor Cells
(East Carolina University, 2010)
DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a holoenzyme of three subunits, Ku70, Ku80, and the DNA-Pk catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). DNA-PK serves a role in non-homologous end joining to repair double stranded breaks, and ...
The Moderating Effects of Academic and Social Success on Delinquency
(East Carolina University, 2015)
This study used longitudinal data taken from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten to examine the moderating effects of academic and social success on the relationship between risk factors and the outcome ...
Molecular Dynamics Studies of Point Mutations of Cardiac Troponin C and Annexin
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Calcium binding proteins are biologically important for their ability to convert changes in calcium ion concentration to functional changes in proteins. All calcium binding proteins use a calcium sensing motif that changes ...
DOES USE OF LIVESCRIBE SMART PEN RELATE TO INCREASED SELF-EFFICACY FOR LEARNING IN COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES?
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Self-efficacy has been shown to influence academic achievement and therefore is an important quality for students with disabilities to possess as this population tends to have lower academic self-efficacy than non-disabled ...
PREDICTING CAREGIVER SATISFACTION WITH PROVIDER COMMUNICATION FROM CARE COORDINATION
(East Carolina University, 2015)
It is unknown whether the presence of care coordination promotes satisfaction of caregivers with communication among doctors and other health care providers of Children with Special Healthcare Needs (CSHCN), according to ...
SCHOOL-BASED UNIVERSAL SCREENING FOR EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL RISK : PREVALENCE AND BARRIERS
(East Carolina University, 2015)
This study examines possible barriers associated with behavior screening implementation in schools. Behavior screenings involve the systematic evaluation of all students to help identify children with possible emotional ...
Synthesis and Reactions of Novel Heteroarylzirconocene Reagents
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The cross-coupling of metallated heteroaromatic species with aryl and heteroaryl halides is a powerful and highly desirable transformation in both the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds as well as materials development. ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE TAPHONOMIC EFFECTS OF ANIMAL SCAVENGING
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Numerous environmental and human-induced variables that affect decomposition can cloud accurate estimations of the postmortem interval (PMI). For instance, scavenging animals can remove soft tissue and disarticulate and ...
