ANDROGEN AND PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS KNOCKOUTS IN ZEBRAFISH AFFECT AGGRESSION AND SOCIAL DOMINANCE
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)
ABSTRACT - There is circumstantial evidence that steroids, such as androgens and progesterone, play roles in aggression and social behaviors in vertebrates. However, the genetic basis for these behaviors needs to be further ...
MITOCHONDRIAL DNA VARIATION IN THE PITCHER PLANT FLY SARCOPHAGA SARRACENIAE: EXPLORING POSSIBLE INFLUENCES OF HOST SPECIFICITY AND GEOGRAPHIC STRUCTURING
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)
North American pitcher plants (Sarracenia) are a recently evolved (~3 my) assemblage of 11 carnivorous species. Sarracenia pitchers also provide resources (food, shelter) for certain arthropods, including two genera of ...
Elucidation of allosteric behavior and enzyme-effector complexes of human 15-lipoxygenase-2 through hydrogen-detuerium exchange mass spectrometry
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-03)
The enzymatic activity of human 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15-LOX-2) has been implicated in human inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis. 15-LOX-2 ...
DOCUMENTING A RETURN TO HISTORICAL JAZZ THROUGH MUSICAL RESEARCH AND CREATION.
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)
In 1985, Bill Hubbard, a prolific big band jazz arranger, died and left behind a horde of musical charts, as well as musical protégés in sons Glenn and Curt Hubbard and their friend Matt Vance. Much of the music Hubbard ...
