The Relationship Between the Taghanic Unconformity and Marcellus Shale Production in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)
The Marcellus Shale, a geologic unit that extends from New York to West Virginia within the Appalachian region, is the source of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas due to organic-rich properties. The formation of the ...
TRACIT: Comparison of Dietary Self-Monitoring Adherence Using Targeted Vs. Traditional Monitoring in Young Adults
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-22)
Obesity is a growing concern in young adult populations; however, this age group often demonstrates reduced treatment engagement and success as compared to older populations. Previous research has attempted to increase ...

(East Carolina University, 2016-07-11)
College students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at risk for poor outcomes including low academic achievement, difficulties in social functioning, and comorbid anxiety disorders. Treatment research ...
Genome-Wide Identification of R2R3-MYB Genes and Expression Analyses During Abiotic Stress in
(2016-03)
The R2R3-MYB is one of the largest families of transcription factors, which have been implicated in multiple biological processes. There is great diversity in the number of R2R3-MYB genes in different plants. However, there ...
Utilizing Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to Quantify the Thermodynamics of Cadmium Mimicry: A Comparison to Calcium
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a powerful calorimetric method which can determine all thermodynamic parameters (K, [Delta]H, [Delta]G, and [Delta]S) for a binding event in a single experiment. More recently, ITC ...
The Effects of Coal Ash on pH and Microbial Respiration in Neuse River Sediments
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Coal combustion residuals are by-products of energy production resulting from the burning of coal. The coal combustion residuals, or simply coal ash, are then cleaned from the furnaces and added to water to form a thick ...
Suppression of claudin-7 enhances human lung cancer cell survival
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)
Claudin-7 belongs to a group of tight junction membrane proteins that play vital roles in many human diseases including human lung cancer. Lung cancer is noted to be the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women ...
A cotton miRNA is involved in regulation of plant response to salt stress
(2016-01)
The present study functionally identified a new microRNA (microRNA ovual line 5, miRNVL5) with its target gene GhCHR from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). The sequence of miRNVL5 precursor is 104 nt long, with a well developed ...
Duodenal carcinoma at the ligament of Treitz. A molecular and clinical perspective
(2010)
Background
There is very small occurrence of adenocarcinoma in the small bowel. We present a case of primary duodenal adenocarcinoma and discuss the findings of the case diagnostic modalities, current knowledge on the ...
DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF MODERN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE WESTERN SUNDA SHELF (SOUTH CHINA SEA) OFF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-13)
This study investigates, for the first time, the distribution and taxonomy of modern benthic foraminifera from the western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea. The uppermost centimeter of 54 surface sediment samples ...
