Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for efficient DNA replication and normal cell cycle progression
(2011)
Background
Proper coordination of the functions at the DNA replication fork is vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Specifically the precise coordination of helicase and polymerase activity is crucial for efficient ...
Making Land With Pirates
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Privateer and pirate islands required four basic components to make them successful. First, the islands needed to lack economic potential for the imperial powers. The lack of economic potential led to governmental neglect ...
Vernacular in Curves: The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
The "whaleback" type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the ...
Quinone Formation via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-03)
Quinones are cyclohexadiendiones that have a variety of uses ranging from medical applications to synthetic building blocks. Medicinal applications stem from the potent biological activity (e.g. antitumor and antibiotic) ...
The Endless Pursuit for Self-Validation through Attainment: An Examination of Self-Esteem as a Moderator in the Relationship between Workaholism and Work Stress
(East Carolina University, 2016-05-04)
In the current study, we sought to investigate the relationship between workaholism and work stress in the context of self-esteem. Previous research has examined the link between workaholism and self-esteem. However, ...
The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-25)
The Spectral Theorem for Self-Adjoint Operators allows one to define what it means to evaluate a function on the operator for a large class of functions defined on the spectrum of the operator. This is done by developing ...
Genome-wide and molecular evolution analysis of the subtilase gene family in
(2014-12)
Background
Vitis vinifera (grape) is one of the most economically significant fruit crops in the world. The availability of the recently released grape genome sequence offers an opportunity to identify and analyze some ...
Boron Stress Responsive MicroRNAs and Their Targets in Barley
(2013)
Boron stress is an environmental factor affecting plant development and production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be involved in several plant processes such as growth regulation and stress responses. In ...
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate
(2013-10)
Background
It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms ...
Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land
(2012-10)
In complex multicellular eukaryotes such as animals and plants, horizontal gene transfer is commonly considered rare with very limited evolutionary significance. Here we show that horizontal gene transfer is a dynamic ...
