  • Surfacing Behavior of Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina

    Creator:
    Patton, B. Wren
    Abstract:
    Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

    Creator:
    Schneider, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...
