Building a Staff Development Program for Nursing Assistants in Long-Term Care
(2022-07-27)Nursing assistant (NA) turnover was 88.9% for four long-term care facilities combined within the project organization. A staff development program was designed for NAs across all four facilities within the organization ... -
Business-Driven/People-Focused: A Case Study on Valuing Library Staff and Improving Service to Users
(2020-03-09)Laupus Health Sciences Library has 3 floors hosting 25 staff and a satellite department, The Country Doctor Museum, with 3 additional staff. If it were not for staff development activities, the departments would not normally ... -
Butyl Rubber Stoppers Increase the Shelf Life of Prereduced, Anaerobically Sterilized Media
(East Carolina University, 1977-05)Butyl rubber stoppers as compared with neoprene or black rubber stoppers significantly increased the shelf life of prereduced, anaerobically sterilized media for growth of obligately anaerobic bacteria. Originally published ... -
Ca2+ and Ionic Strength Dependencies of S1-ADP Binding to Actin-Tropomyosin-Troponin: Regulatory Implications
(East Carolina University, 2004-09)Skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction are inhibited by the actin-associated complex of tropomyosin-troponin. Binding of Ca21 to troponin or binding of ATP-free myosin to actin reverses this inhibition. Ca21 and ATP-free ... -
CAFFEINE INTAKE AMONG LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PARTICIPATING IN SHIFT WORK
(East Carolina University, 2013)Objective: To investigate caffeine consumption among law enforcement officers during day shifts (DAY) and night shifts (NIGHT); to assess the types of caffeine-containing products and the frequency of product intake during ... -
Calcium Dependent CAMTA1 in Adult Stem Cell Commitment to a Myocardial Lineage
(2012)The phenotype of somatic cells has recently been found to be reversible. Direct reprogramming of one cell type into another has been achieved with transduction and over expression of exogenous defined transcription factors ... -
Calponin interaction with alpha-actinin-actin: evidence for a structural role for calponin.
(East Carolina University, 1999-12)The purpose of this study was to address the paradox of calponin localization with a-actinin and filamin, two proteins with tandem calponin homology (CH) domains, by determining the effect of these proteins on the binding ... -
Can Factors Related to Self-regulated Learning and Epistemological Beliefs Predict Learning Achievement in Undergraduate Asynchronous Web-based Courses?
(East Carolina University, 2006-08-30)This study examined the effects of self-regulated learning (SRL) and epistemological beliefs (EB) on individual learner levels of academic achievement in Web-based learning environments while holding constant the effect ... -

Cancer mortality in Native Americans in North Carolina.
(East Carolina University, 1990-08)his paper describes age-adjusted mortality from malignant neoplasms for Native Americans in North Carolina for 1968-72 and 1978-82. Sex-specific standardized mortality ratios were calculated from death certificate data, ... -
Cannabinoid exposure during zebra finch sensorimotor vocal learning persistently alters expression of endocannabinoid signaling elements and acute agonist responsiveness
(2011)Background Previously we have found that cannabinoid treatment of zebra finches during sensorimotor stages of vocal development alters song patterns produced in adulthood. Such persistently altered behavior must be ... -
Cannabinoid receptor 1 signaling in cardiovascular regulating nuclei in the brainstem: A review
(2013-04)Cannabinoids elicit complex hemodynamic responses in experimental animals that involve both peripheral and central sites. Centrally administered cannabinoids have been shown to predominantly cause pressor response. However, ... -
Capture of heat-killed Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin by intelectin-1deposited on cell surfaces
(East Carolina University, 2009-05)Intelectin is an extracellular animal lectin found in chordata. Although human and mouse intelectin-1 recognize galactofuranosyl residues included in cell walls of various microorganisms, the physiological function of ... -
Carbon Nanotube-Induced Pulmonary Granulomatous Disease: 1 and Alveolar Macrophage M1 Activation
(2013-12)Sarcoidosis, a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown cause, has been linked to several environmental risk factors, among which are some that may favor carbon nanotube formation. Using gene array data, we initially ... -
