Identifying microRNAs by automated phylogenetic and structural analysis

Smith, Daniel P. (2007-10-29)

Motivation: It can take considerable amounts of time and effort to use existing computational tools to analyze a small RNA sequence for the purpose of determining if it is characteristic of microRNA. It is similarly tedi ...

OVERVIEW OF INTRODUCTION - This is a combined thesis for both disciplines of BioResource Research (BRR)Interdisciplinary and International Degree (ID) Programs OSU. The first chapter encompasses the BRR research, which i ...
Immunohistochemical localization of cytochrome P450s IA, 2K6, 2K7, 3A65 and 3C1 and expression of P4501A in tumor sensitive and resistant lines of juvenile zebrafish

Taylor, Amber (2005-06-03)

Five new anti-zebrafish cytochrome P450 (CYP) antipeptide polyclonal antibodies were tested for tissue specificity using immunohistochemistry. The antibodies are for the zebrafish CYPs IA, 2K6, 2K7, 3A65 and 3C1. Three o ...
Immunohistochemistry Studies of Tumor Necrosis Factor Αlpha and Interferon Gamma Expression in Pseudocapillaria tomentosa Infected and Uninfected Zebrafish

Lo, Lalee C. (2009-11-24)

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) and interferon gamma (IFN γ) were initially recognized as inflammatory mediators produced by immune cells in response to infectious agents or foreign material. (1,5) However, over the ...
In search of ecological advantages : mycorrhizal facilitation of big huckleberry Vaccinium membranaceum (Doug.)

Stocking, Peter (2006-09-25)

Temperate evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest support big huckleberries (Vaccinium membranaceum) despite their nutrient impoverished soils. Acquisition of nitrogen and phosphorous are the major nutrients limiting ...
In vitro mechanisms of chlorophyllin antimutagenesis against dibenzo[[alpha],l]pyrene

Barth, Marita C. (1998-06-03)
Incorporation of aerodynamic and boundary layer resistances in determining initial evaporation rates of pesticides from turf grass

Conway, Michael (1999-06-14)

Evaporative loss rates of pesticides, following application to turfgrass, were measured using the Backward-Time Lagrangian stochastic Dispersion model (Flesch, Wilson, Journal of Applied Meteorology, 34, pp. 1320-1332. A ...
Indole-3-carbinol and related compound effects on biochemical parameters with respect to trout tumorigenesis

Hall, Kelly P. (2000-05-26)

Indole-3-carbinol (13C), a metabolite of glucobrassicin, is found in cruciferous vegetables. It is able to act as an inhibitor or promoter of carcinogenesis depending on the species, the carcinogen and when it is given i ...
Inhibition of α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase by Bioflavonoids

Griffith, Anneke M. (Tucker) (2012-06-19)

Various flavonoid-rich plant extracts have shown efficacy in the treatment of diabetes. Although it is often assumed that dietary flavonoids exert biological antioxidant effects, it is possible that the observed effects ...
Integration of embryonic zebrafish and passive sampling device extracts to explore effects of pesticide mixtures

Corvi, Margaret (2009-09-15)

Pesticides are ubiquitous, with more than one billion tons of pesticide products used in the United States annually. These compounds are characterized by their toxic effects to the target organism; however, pesticides ar ...
Investigating a Role for Mismatch Repair in Activating a Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide-Induced S-phase Checkpoint

Coburn, Jacki L. (2012-12-17)

Genetic and environmental factors influence individual cancer risk. Mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes increase colon cancer risk. Exposure to carcinogens, including the ubiquitous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarb ...
Investigation of microbial extracts as a source of neurological agents

Malmo, Jay (2010-06-15)

This study tested natural products from cyanobacteria from the Red Sea in Egypt and marine tunicates from the Algoa Bay in South Africa. Products from marine organisms have been used as lead compounds for the synthesis o ...
Laboratory studies of growth conditions of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) with international considerations to shellfish-associated illnesses in South Korea

Lee, Jeehye (2009-04-02)

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a naturally occurring halophilic pathogen, is seasonally abundant in marine and estuarine environments. It is also the leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans world-wide. Numerous outbreak inc ...
Lexicon development of appearance and texture descriptors for melted cheddar cheese using microwave and oven heating

Asato, Karisa (2003-06-05)

A lexicon to define the sensory properties of melted Cheddar cheese was created using a trained descriptive panel. The lexicon characterized appearance (surface rupture, meltedness, oiliness, and edge browning) and tex ...
Localization of the CB1 receptor in the brain of Taricha granulosa

Aubert, Jolene E. (2002-12-04)

The psychoactive component of marijuana, A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is known to have effects in humans that are mediated by the cannabinoid receptor (CB 1). Although a great deal of research has been done to confirm ...
