Teaching Ethics for Construction Management Majored Students: Standalone or Micro-insert? – Globalization and Sustainability Considerations
(2016-06)
Ethical decision-making is central to the practice of construction management. This is no more
evident than in the twenty-first century, when the construction industry must function in very
diverse organizational contexts. ...
Rooftop Gardens and Solar Energy
(2016-04)
Green roofs are a form of green architecture used to provide a natural insulation for a residential or commercial building. The green roof replaces the traditional roofing shingles. The roof is composed of soil and vegetation. ...
Using Recycled Concrete Aggregate in Non-Structural Concrete on NCDOT Projects in Eastern NC
(2016-04)
These items are part of a grant project between Dr. Wang, Department of Construction Management, East Carolina University, and The North Carolina Department of Transportation. The grant project will run from August 1, ...
An Endeavor in Integrated Innovation: "Green Building Interact"
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-28)
Through the use of immersive technologies, specifically augmented and virtual reality, I have designed a mobile application that allows the user to step inside the design process of green buildings. My intention with this ...
The Short-Term Effect of Weight Loss Surgery on Volumetric Breast Density and Fibroglandular Volume
(2016-10-26)
Purpose:
Obesity and breast density are both associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and are potentially modifiable. Weight loss surgery (WLS) causes a significant reduction in the amount of body fat and a ...
Can Steel Slag Be Used as an Aggregate in Concrete and How? A Technical Approach by and Testing and Theoretical Molding
(2016-05)
Steel slag is the molten byproduct from steelmaking operations that is subsequently air-cooled for use. It has been used in cement manufacture and as unbound granular materials in construction. While numerous studies have ...
Generational differences in practice site selection criteria amongst primary care physicians.
(2016)
Background and Objectives: Generational differences are often viewed as shaping the overall attitudes and actions of different age cohorts. It is essential to understand the motivations and generational differences in ...
Functional and Comparative Genomics of Hoxa2 Gene cis-Regulatory Elements: Evidence for Evolutionary Modification of Ancestral Core Element Activity
(2016-03-26)
Hoxa2 is an evolutionarily conserved developmental regulatory gene that functions to specify rhombomere (r) and pharyngeal arch (PA) identities throughout the Osteichthyes. Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) hoxa2a, like ...
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for craniofacial microsomia
(2016-02-08)
Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a rare congenital anomaly that involves immature derivatives from the first and second pharyngeal arches. The genetic pathogenesis of CFM is still unclear. Here we interrogate 0.9 million ...
Genetic Architecture of Conspicuous Red Ornaments in Female Threespine Stickleback
(2016-03)
Explaining the presence of conspicuous female ornaments that take the form of male-typical traits has been a longstanding challenge in evolutionary biology. Such female ornaments have been proposed to evolve via both ...
