Creator:: Pautsch, Lindsay
Abstract:: In order to reduce the cost of lignocellulosic ethanol production, a model was previously developed to predict the amount of fermentable sugar released based on parameters concerning both biomass and enzymes. To validate this model, enzymatic hydrolysis must be carried out using individual purified cellulase enzymes. Endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase I (EG I),...

Creator:: Raymundo, Wilfrido E.
Abstract:: Testing the many potential chemoprevention agents from dietary sources in animal or human models is expensive and takes a long time. In vitro models can be useful for screening the right compounds to use in larger studies. We tested the MatTek™ EpiIntestinal™ small intestine epithelial 3D cell culture model for...

Creator:: Potapchuk, Angelica
Abstract:: Energy production and consumption is a major environmental and economic concern in the world today. Biofuel produced from lignocellulosic biomass is being explored as an alternative energy source to petroleum. Lignocellulosic biomass is comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. To produce biofuels, lignocellulosic biomass must be broken down to expose...

Creator:: Trummel, Danielle K.
Abstract:: Mammary tumors are the third most common tumor in cats after cutaneous neoplasia and lymphosarcoma. More than 80% of feline mammary tumors are adenocarcinomas, which are similar to human mammary adenocarcinomas in their biologic behavior and histologic characteristics. Despite treatment with radical mastectomy, feline mammary adenocarcinoma is associated with a...

Creator:: Sanchez, Karina M.
Abstract:: Acetaminophen (APAP) is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic drug that can cause liver injury, liver necrosis, and liver failure. APAP-induced liver failure (AILF) is associated with depletion of glutathione and the increased formation of APAP protein adducts from the toxic NAPQI metabolite. There is a hypothesized detoxifying pathway where...

Creator:: Villanueva, Brenda
Abstract:: Succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) inhibitor fungicides, such as boscalid, are effective for the management of gray mold caused by the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Unfortunately, resistance to boscalid was common among isolates of the pathogen from small fruits grown in Oregon. Boscalid-resistance is commonly associated with mutations in Sdh, especially in...

Creator:: Ruiz-Orozco, Gloria
Abstract:: Anaerobic digestion is a common terminal step in wastewater treatment systems and produces valuable by-products such as biogas, a combination of carbon dioxide and methane. Biogas can be used to off-set energy costs, and along with the anaerobic co-digestion of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) has been found to increase...
