Characterization of Wet-Heat Inactivation of Single Spores of Bacillus Species by Dual-Trap Raman Spectroscopy and Elastic Light Scattering
(2010-03)
Dual-trap laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) and elastic light scattering (ELS) were used to investigate dynamic processes during high-temperature treatment of individual spores of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, ...
Comparative Study of the Roles of AhpC and KatE as Respiratory Antioxidants in Brucella abortus 2308
(2010-10)
Brucella strains are exposed to potentially toxic levels of H2O2 both as a consequence of their aerobic metabolism and through the respiratory burst of host phagocytes. To evaluate the relative contributions of the sole ...
Chlorpromazine reduces avoidance performance deficit in rats with dorsomedial thalamic lesions
(2013-11-08)
Rats with bilateral lesions of the dorsomedial area of the thalamus were shown to have a significant performance deficit on the acquisition of a one-way active shock-avoidance task relative to sham-operated controls. ...
Developing Concept Enriched Models for Big Data Processing Within the Medical Domain
(2020-07)
Within the past few years, the medical domain has endeavored to incorporate artificial intelligence, including cognitive computing tools, to develop enriched models for processing and synthesizing knowledge from Big Data. ...
Combination of Raman tweezers and quantitative differential interference contrast microscopy for measurement of dynamics and heterogeneity during the germination of individual bacterial spores
(2010-09-01)
Raman tweezers and quantitative differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy are combined to monitor the dynamic germination of individual bacterial spores of Bacillus species, as well as the heterogeneity in this ...
A Study of Travelers' Foodie Activity Dimensions, Demographic Characteristics, and Trip Behaviors
(East Carolina University, 2013)
People who identify themselves as foodies may do so for vastly different reasons. From interests in sustainable agriculture to gardening, they differ in their lifestyles and behaviors. These interests can be grouped into ...
Educational engagement and the environment: Investigating service learning in the nonhuman sciences
(2014)
Classic definitions outline service learning as engaging students in experiential education where learning goals are reached when service activities are combined with reflective assignments. In an effort to integrate ...
An ethnographic exploration of a student subculture of sustained civic engagement
(2011-09)
The purpose of this study is to describe how students understand their own participation in civic engagement activities, particularly as members of a supportive community. Research questions include: How do students ...
Making Art Responsibly
(East Carolina University, 2010)
This essay is a written defense for the body of work titled, "How Does Your Garden Grow?" as well as an examination of how art can behave responsibly in regards to the social process.
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 ...
