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 ... -
ESTABLISHING LINKAGE BETWEEN GINS COMPLEX SUB-UNIT Sld5 AND CHECKPOINT PROTEIN Chk2 (loki) USING DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER AS MODEL ORGANISM
(East Carolina University, 2012)Eukaryotic DNA replication is controlled by a number of proteins that ensures the process takes place accurately. GINS, a hetero-tetrameric protein complex is known to be essential for the initiation and progression of ... -
Evaluating Land Use Effects On The Stinging Sea Nettle : Chrysaora Quinquecirrha: Are Shoreline Hardening Structures Creating New Habitat For A Nuisance Species?
(East Carolina University, 2015)There is considerable debate as to whether global jellyfish populations are experiencing an overall population growth due to human activities or have been pulsing in a long-term natural rhythm. Empirical data to support ...
