Decision factors that influenced hospital foodservice directors to implement a waste management program

Creator:: Basler, Joann
Abstract:: Economic, environmental, social and political influences made the management of solid waste or garbage an important issue for all foodservice directors, including those in health care facilities. The study objectives were to: (1) identify what components of integrated waste management programs were being used in hospital foodservice facilities in Oregon,...

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Role of a grass riparian zone in controlling the fate of nitrogen in a poorly drained agricultural landscape

Creator:: Davis, Jennifer H.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems, through their unique positions in the agricultural landscape, have the potential to mitigate nutrient loading to streams. This study was conducted to gain a better understanding of N cycling in a poorly drained Grass Riparian Zone (GRZ) and adjacent Perennial Ryegrass seed Field (PRF) in the Willamette Valley,...

Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

Creator:: Apperson, K. Denise
Abstract:: Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...

Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

Creator:: Rattray, Rogan MacKay
Abstract:: There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...

Factors affecting prolactin secretion in the African elephant

Creator:: Bechert, Ursula S.
Abstract:: Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone that is involved in a number of diverse physiologic roles, particularly with respect to reproduction, including: influencing sexual and parental behaviors, onset of puberty, regulation of seasonal reproduction, follicular maturation, ovulation, luteinization and corpus luteum (CL) function, steroidogenesis, mammary gland development and lactation, testicular...

Effects of High-docosahexaenoic Acid Microalgae and Choline in the Hen Diet on Egg Production and Lipid Metabolism

Creator:: Yonke, Joseph A.
Abstract:: The objectives of the current study were to 1) investigate the effect a high-docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3, DHA) microalgae product (MAL), and choline dosage in diets containing MAL, on egg production performance, physical egg quality, and nutritional parameters, and 2) determine whether choline dosage influences hepatic lipid metabolism of...

Explorations Into Who is Doing Freshwater Science and How We are Altering Waterscapes

Creator:: Abernethy, Erin F.
Abstract:: The United States of America and the world are faced with three massive intertwining challenges at this time: COVID-19, racial inequity, and climate change. As a species, humans must come together and collectively address these challenges to preserve our humanity and make our world a more just and livable place...

Role of Plc in the germination of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning isolate SM101

Creator:: Bond, Colton B.
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...

Multiplex real-time PCR in the detection and differentiation of bovine respiratory disease pathogens

Creator:: Zulauf, Brian J.
Abstract:: Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and bovine parainfluenza virus Type 3 (BPI3) are ubiquitous respiratory pathogens of cattle, which contribute to causation of bovine respiratory disease complex. As these respiratory viral pathogens cause very similar clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis of the pathogens is required in one...
