A new assessment model for tumor heterogeneity analysis with [18]F-FDG PET images
(2016-01)
It has been shown that the intratumor heterogeneity can be characterized with quantitative analysis of the [18]F-FDG PET image data. The existing models employ multiple parameters for feature extraction which makes it ...
"Of my own accord" : Milton's Dialogue with the Rabbis in Samson Agonistes
(East Carolina University, 2014)
This thesis examines rabbinic commentaries on the Samson story and the ways in which Milton appropriates or differs from these interpretations. It considers the critical debate over whether Samson's character and violent ...
Species And Stage Specific Developmental Toxicity Of Endosulfan Exposure In Hyla Cinerea And Ranitomeya Imitator
(East Carolina University, 2015)
During ontogeny, organisms pass through critical periods of heightened vulnerability to disruptive exogenous agents. In organisms with complex life cycles, these developmental windows result in variable susceptibility ...
The Effect Of Conservation Treatments On Organic Residues In Archaeological Ceramics
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Conservation treatments, while focused on preserving the physical form of a ceramic vessel, may inadvertently have a negative impact on other information stored in preserved organic residues that may remain on or in the ...
Gene Expression Divergence Between Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia Guttata) Subspecies And Gene Regulation In Hybrids
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Since the publication of Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of Species, birds have been important model organisms for studies regarding evolutionary processes such as sexual selection and speciation. In this study, I will ...
Comparison of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnCl₂ induced germ cell apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2014)
There is inadequate research data available on manufactured ZnO nanoparticles. Manufactured nanoparticles are widely used in various products and production of manufactured nanoparticles is becoming increasingly abundant. ...
