Effects of temperature, flow, and climate factors on inter-annual variation of larval fish assemblages in a coastal watershed
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-13)Predicting how populations will respond to future climate scenarios is of interest to ecologists and resource managers. Recent interest in the effect large-scale climate patterns have on local environmental conditions has ... -
Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on the Pharyngeal Pumping and Neurological Behavior of C. elegans
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-02)Cogent data regarding the effects of manufactured zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on human health and other organisms is limited. With the prominence of manufactured ZnO - NPs increasing rapidly in recent years, the ... -
EGID: an ensemble algorithm for improved genomic island detection in genomic sequences
(2011)Genomic islands (GIs) are genomic regions that are originally transferred from other organisms. The detection of genomic islands in genomes can lead to many applications in industrial, medical and environmental contexts. ... -
Elucidating Gene Function with the use of Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS)
(East Carolina University, 2015)DNA replication and cell proliferation are intensely studied subjects. There have been countless experiments and hours put into better understanding how DNA is replicated and compacted, and how cells are able to proliferate ... -
Elucidating the mechanisms of Nickel as an animal mutagen
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)Nickel is an essential metal for many organisms. Nickel occurs naturally from volcanism and weathering of stone. Recently production of nickel from anthropogenic sources has overtaken natural production. Combustion of ... -
EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT, SEED BANK POTENTIAL AND GERMINATION OF THE FEDERALLY ENDANGERED HERB OF PINE SAVANNAS, THALICTRUM
(East Carolina University, 2016-06-03)Plant conservation efforts strongly rely on knowledge of species seed biology and viability for further propagation. Virtually nothing is known about the seed biology of the federally endangered Thalictrum cooleyi Ahles ... -
ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS ALTER STEROID TRANSPORT PROTEINS AND STEROID FREE AND BOUND FRACTIONS
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)The effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the development of sexually dimorphic characteristics in vertebrates have been studied extensively for over sixty years. Throughout this time, studies have focused ... -
Environmental Development of the External Genitalia
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects in the world. The incidence of hypospadias has nearly doubled over the past 50 years and now occurs on average in 1 in 125 male newborns each year. Hypospadias is a ... -
Enzymatic determination of itoic acid, a Bacillus subtilis siderophore, and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
(East Carolina University, 1993-07)A specific enzymatic method to determine the amounts of itoic acid, a Bacillus subtilis siderophore, and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) was devised. A sample was incubated first with hippurate hydrolase andthenwith ... -
Epigenetic Effect of Modified Diet and Exercise on Drosophila Metabolic Phenotype and Cardiovascular Health
(2015-04)Obesity is a growing world-wide epidemic. Overweight populations are prone to a variety of morbid conditions including diabetes type 2, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. The catastrophic increase in obesity rates, which ...
