Analysis of Chemical Leaching from Common Consumer Plastic Bottles Under High Stress Conditions

Creator:: Dornath, Paul John
Abstract:: There has been much controversy in recent years over the leaching of chemicals from plastic water bottles. In this study, two of the most common plastics used in water bottles, polyethylene terphthalate (PETE) and polycarbonate (PC) were studied. The leaching of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) from polycarbonate (Nalgene ™, Camelback...

Metabolic Analysis of Bovine Nucleus Pulposus Cells with Constant and Variable Glucose Supply

Creator:: Rosene, Rees Alan
Abstract:: There is no standardized method for culture of intervertebral disc (IVD) cells when monitoring metabolic processes. We hypothesize that the metabolic rates of cells that are crucial to experiment designs depend on the cell culture method used. The glycolytic pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are the pathways through...

Evaporation of an ammonia chloride stream to produce aqueous ammonia and 40 wt % calcium chloride

Creator:: Ivey, Thadeus J.
Abstract:: Production of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and aqueous ammonia (NH4 +) from the ammonia chloride (NH4Cl) stream in the Solvay process was studied using an Ammonia Recovery Tower to produce 29 wt % aqueous ammonia and 40 wt % CaCl2 from the process feed stream or the tower bottoms stream. OLI,...

Enhanced Delivery of Cryoprotectant Chemicals to Cultured Neurons

Creator:: Wilson, Jenna L.
Abstract:: Due to the many advances in the areas of biotechnology and medicine, the need for long- term storage and stabilization of biological materials is rapidly increasing. The field of biopreservation is attempting to address these issues by finding ways to maintain the integrity and functionality of proteins, cells, and organs...

The effects of single and multiple pathogen and parasite infections on juvenile chinook and coho salmon during early marine residency

Creator:: Sandell, Todd A.
Abstract:: Nearly 3000 juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon captured in nearshore waters off the coasts of Washington and Oregon from 1999-2004 were tested for infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum, Nanophyetus salmincola, and skin metacercariae. First, three quantitative PCR primer/probe sets were compared for detection of R. salmoninarum; amplification...

Development of Practical Accelerated Testing Protocols for the Performance Evaluation of Concrete against Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete

Creator:: Erbektas, Ali Riza
Abstract:: Sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems are vital for civilizations to protect public health. Most of the structural elements of wastewater infrastructure are constructed using concrete owing to its versatility, low cost, and durability. Concrete structures that are exposed to wastewater can experience Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC), which is a...

Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

Creator:: McKinney, Madison J.
Abstract:: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:: Germano, Francesca
Abstract:: Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

Evaluation of feedstocks for cellulosic ethanol and bioproducts production in the Northwest

Creator:: Miller, Wesley C. (Wesley Clair)
Abstract:: Cellulosic ethanol production for transportation fuel is one source to help satisfy the increasing worldwide demand for energy and depletion of the fossil fuel supply. Evaluating potential production from plants and waste in Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the purpose of this study. Reed Canary grass, Annual Ryegrass, wheat straw,...

Biosynthesis and modification of the antibiotic enduracidin

Creator:: Goebel, Neal C.
Abstract:: The continued propagation of antibiotic resistance requires the development of new therapeutics. The lipopeptide antibiotic enduracidin has demonstrated high activity against Gram-positive pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to a lack of cross-resistance with existing antibiotic classes, enduracidin has no known transferrable resistance mechanism. The development of enduracidin as...
