ARE ALL FISH NURSERIES EQUAL? DETERMINING HOW FOOD WEB DYNAMICS AFFECT FISH NURSERY HABITAT
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-23)
The fish nursery habitat concept has been used to define important habitat for larval and juvenile fish throughout coastal and estuarine areas. Nursery habitat has been defined as an area that produces more fish biomass, ...
Defining the Great Lakes Passenger Freight Propeller: A Statistical, and Historical Study
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-06)
Passenger freight propellers were integral to the Great Lakes economy for nearly 100 years. A unique vessel type created for a unique need, shipbuilders combined different new technologies to create faster, more efficient, ...
Control of maize development by microRNA and auxin regulated pathways
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)
Plant architecture and inflorescence architecture, in particular, are major determinates of yield. Plant architecture is dependent upon the activity of meristems. Meristems are vital to plant development because they not ...

(2012-10-09)
As the popularity of sport continues to grow, more community developers, planners, and leaders are recognizing the ability for sport to foster community. Similar to other community contexts, understanding the structure and ...
uantitative characterization of turbidity by radiative transfer based reflectance imaging
(2018-04-04)
A new and noncontact approach of multispectral reflectance imaging has been developed to inversely determine the absorption coefficient of μ a , the scattering coefficient of μs and the anisotropy factor g of a turbid ...
Purifying Scorpion Antarease from E. coli
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
Vesicular trafficking is a system of intracellular transport that allows for the distribution and secretion of molecules. In the pancreas, normal secretory processes have been found to be interrupted by Antarease, a ...
Heavy Metal Concentrations in Biofluid Samples and their Correlation to Metabolic Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)
The goal of this project was to determine if toxic metals such as Cr, Mn, As, Ni, Cd, and Pb are stored in the adipose tissue of farm animals, in particular swine. To detect these trace elements, a method of extraction and ...
THE ROLE OF HNRNPS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF GERMLINE STEM CELLS IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)
An organism’s ability to grow and regulate tissue repair relies on the stimulation of stem cells in response to changes in physiological state, such as cell damage, sexual maturation and growth. Tissue-resident stem cells ...
