Determination of fluorochemicals in waste-dominated aqueous systems

Creator:: Huset, Carin A.
Abstract:: While fluorochemicals have been detected all over the world and in wastewater treatment plants, the effect of wastewater effluent on the receiving waters has not been evaluated. In the first study, the mass flow of fluorochemicals emanating from wastewater treatment plants along the Glatt River in Switzerland was evaluated. The...

Regression calibration and maximum likelihood inference for measurement error models

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: Regression calibration inference seeks to estimate regression models with measurement error in explanatory variables by replacing the mismeasured variable by its conditional expectation, given a surrogate variable, in an estimation procedure that would have been used if the true variable were available. This study examines the effect of the uncertainty...

Extension and volcanism : tectonic development of the northwestern margin of the Basin and Range Province in southern Oregon

Creator:: Scarberry, Kaleb C.
Abstract:: The northwestern corner of the Basin and Range Province (NWBR) lies in southeast Oregon where extensive Late Miocene, mafic to bimodal basalt-rhyolite volcanism and extensional faults dominate a stark and arid landscape. Near Lake Abert, the Late Miocene volcanic section abuts Early Miocene, dominantly intermediate composition volcanoes at the Coleman...

Epidemiological implications of sporozoite aggregation in malaria vectors

Creator:: Li, Xiaohong, 1963-
Abstract:: This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector, and parasitological...

Chlordecone (CD), a mixed steroid X receptor (SXR) and estrogen receptor alpha(ERα) agonist, altered hepatic cholesterol (CH) homeostasis and lipoprotein metabolism

Creator:: Lee, Junga
Abstract:: Overtly non-toxic doses of organochlorine (OC) insecticides perturb lipid homeostasis in mice and rats. To increase understanding of how chlordecone (CD), an OC insecticide, modulates cholesterol (CH) homeostasis, we determined the effect of CD pretreatment on the tissue and hepatic subcellular distribution of exogenous [¹⁴C]CH. Corn oil alone or CD...

Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

Molecular basis for Clostridium perfringens spore resistance to heat and other environmental stress factors

Creator:: Raju, Deepa
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of both food poisoning (FP) and non food borne gastrointestinal diseases (NFBGID) in both humans and animals. C. perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by isolates carrying the CPE encoding gene (cpe) on the chromosome while the...

Characterization of vaccinia virus A12L protein : its proteolysis and functional analyses in virus replication

Creator:: Yang, Su Jung
Abstract:: In order to produce infectious virus progeny, vaccinia virus (VV) undergoes morphogenic proteolysis to regulate the structural rearrangements of virus particles. Several of the major structural precursor proteins of VV are cleaved at a conserved Ala-Gly-X (where X is any amino acid) motif by the VV I7L core protein proteinase...

Spatial patterns of fuel management activities and their effects on wildfire behavior

Creator:: Kim, Young-Hwan
Abstract:: Fuel management has been used as an effective local strategy to reduce the undesirable consequences of wildfires. Many efforts toward scheduling of fuel management activities across a broader landscape have been proposed, with the hope of achieving larger landscape-scale management effects. However, scheduling of fuel management treatments across the broader...

Multi-scale relationships between aspen and birds in the northern Yellowstone ecosystem

Creator:: Hollenbeck, Jeff P., 1967-
Abstract:: I conducted a multi-scale evaluation of aspen – bird relationships in the northern ungulate winter range of the northern Yellowstone ecosystem during June 2001-03. Questions addressed were: (1) Does bird diversity increase with conifer presence in aspen stands? (2) Given known habitat selection cues, are migrating birds passively intercepted by...
