EFFECTS OF A REVERSE OSMOSIS-WATER TREATMENT PLANT BRINY CONCENTRATE DISCHARGED INTO AN ESTUARY.
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plants (RO-WTPs) create potable water and a briny concentrate that must be disposed; often it is discharged into nearby surface waters. Currently, there is no published research to examine ...
Government and Medicine: the evolution of the Chinese health care system
(2011-04-29)
China’s diverse political history offers the unique opportunity to explore how a nation’s government impacts its approach to medicine and public health. The author found a correlation between Chinese government and health. ...
Does history matter? : An experimental assessment of whether dragonfly colonization history affects insect biodiversity within ephemeral ponds
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Current interactions among species could have an important role in controlling biodiversity. Some studies, however, have shown that the particular time a species arrives at a site during the process of community assembly ...
Phylogenetics and Systematics of the Millipede genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae)
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae) belongs to an ancient millipede lineage that has persisted since the Miocene. The group displays a Holarctic distribution with species in the eastern Nearctic, ...
The evolution of coloration and toxicity in the poison frog family (Dendrobatidae)
(East Carolina University, 2001-05-22)
The poison frogs (family Dendrobatidae) are terrestrial anuran
amphibians displaying a wide range of coloration and toxicity.
These frogs generally have been considered to be aposematic, but
relatively little ...
Identification, Characterization, and Abiotic Stress Analysis of microRNAs in Nicotiana tabacum
(East Carolina University, 2010)
microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with short sequences that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional levels by either binding to mRNAs for degradation, or by inhibiting protein translation. ...
Historical Ecology of Striped Bass Stocking in the Southeastern United States
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is the most recreationally and commercially important non-salmonid fish species in the continental United States. As such, it has been exploited to the point of collapse at various points ...
Ecological effects of rising sea level on shorezone
(East Carolina University, 2009)
This study examines the ecological effects of sea-level rise on shorezone in the Neuse River estuary and western Pamlico Sound, NC. Shorezone is defined here in an ecohydrological context as the area of wetland that extends ...
Conspicuous female ornamentation and male mate preference of Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Sexual selection drives the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments (traits showing little function outside social interactions) in many animal species. Female ornamentation is now acknowledged also to be common but is ...
Intron position in RNA polymerase genes and their relationship to eukaryotic phylogenies
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing amount of research devoted to the study of intron evolution and its relationship to eukaryotic phylogeny. Previous studies have shown that a large percentage of ...
