A practical guide and power analysis for GLMMs: detecting among treatment variation in random effects
(2015-09)
In ecology and evolution generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are becoming increasingly used to test for differences in variation by treatment at multiple hierarchical levels. Yet, the specific sampling schemes that ...
A Comprehensive Approach to Identify Reliable Reference Gene Candidates to Investigate the Link between Alcoholism and Endocrinology in Sprague-Dawley Rats
(2014)
Gender and hormonal differences are often correlated with alcohol dependence and related complications like addiction and breast cancer. Estrogen (E2) is an important sex hormone because it serves as a key protein involved ...
Genome-Wide Functional Analysis of the Cotton Transcriptome by Creating an Integrated EST Database
(2011)
A total of 28,432 unique contigs (25,371 in consensus contigs and 3,061 as singletons) were assembled from all 268,786 cotton ESTs currently available. Several in silico approaches [comparative genomics, Blast, Gene Ontology ...
Evolution of Plant Nucleotide-Sugar Interconversion Enzymes
(2011)
Nucleotide-diphospho-sugars (NDP-sugars) are the building blocks of diverse polysaccharides and glycoconjugates in all organisms. In plants, 11 families of NDP-sugar interconversion enzymes (NSEs) have been identified, ...
Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants
(2014)
Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product ...
Alkaloid defenses of co-mimics in a putative Müllerian mimetic radiation
(2014)
Background
Polytypism in aposematic species is unlikely according to theory, but commonly seen in nature. Ranitomeya imitator is a poison frog species exhibiting polytypic mimicry of three congeneric model species (R. ...
THE SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PHOSPHORESCENT CYCLOMETALATED N^N^C-COORDINATED PLATINUM COMPLEXES
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
Phosphorescent materials based on cyclometalated platinum complexes have attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential in chemical, biological and optoelectronic applications, specifically as emitters in ...
AN EVALUATION OF DEFERRED TIME-OUT TO TREAT NONCOMPLIANCE IN THE CLASSROOM SETTING
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-07)
Time-out (TO) is a widely recommended behavioral management strategy that has been minimally researched in regards to its components and applications or training procedures for teachers (Ryan et al., 2007; Sterling-Turner ...

Iris Jones, a recent college graduate and intern at the Museum of History in Wilmington, North Carolina, discovers a reference to a German U-Boat off the coast of Wilmington during WWII while sorting through donations to ...
Seasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
(2016-12-22)
A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across ...
