  • Evaluation of body composition assessments for a high school wrestling weight certification program

    Creator:
    Oja, Kristen M.
    Abstract:
    Background: The Oregon Wrestling Weight Monitoring Program establishes the athlete’s minimum wrestling weight (MW) for the season. This program specifies the wrestler’s maximum weight loss rate and was implemented in order to reduce unhealthy weight-cutting behaviors commonly practiced by wrestlers. Aims: (1) To compare differences in percent body fat (%BF)...

  • Investigating the Quality Dynamics of American Aroma Hops Intended for Dry-Hopping Beer

    Creator:
    Lafontaine, Scott R.
    Abstract:
    Historically, brewers have used dry-hopping (a cold extraction of nonvolatile and volatile chemicals from hops into fermenting or finished beer) to increase the microbial stability and shelf life of their beer. As hoppy beer styles have gained in popularity over the last decade (2007-2017), the objective of dry-hopping has turned...

  • Low-Dose X-Ray Radiation Effects On the Proteomic Profiles of Hippocampus, Cortex, and Cerebellum of Contextual Fear Conditioning and Novel Object Recognition Trained Mice

    Creator:
    Koluda, Rony
    Abstract:
    Radiation exposure to the brain can occur from a variety of events, including space missions, nuclear accidents, and clinical treatments. The effects of high dose radiation are well studied, but those of lower dosage are more elusive. Decline of memory and cognition is observed in patients exposed to low dose...

  • Polymeric submicron optical ion-selective sensors

    Creator:
    Bychkova, Valeriya
    Abstract:
    Ion-selective polymeric optical sensors – ion optodes – are a promising alternative to ion-selective electrodes and fluorescent dyes for analytical and biological applications, e.g. extra- and intracellular measurements. They are non-toxic, highly selective robust probes for ionic fluxes monitoring. A large-scale fabrication of ion optodes using a solvent displacement method...

  • The chemistry of acetohydroxamic acid related to nuclear fuel reprocessing

    Creator:
    Matteson, Brent Searle
    Abstract:
    Used Nuclear Fuel (UNF) contains transuranic (TRU) elements and numerous fission products as a result of the uranium fission process and neutron activation that occur in commercial light water power reactors. Recent environmental and nuclear proliferation concerns have spawned the development of advanced reprocessing techniques to close the nuclear fuel...

  • Probing the Biophysical interactions of Anti-Microbial Peptide WLBU2 Using Model Membrane Systems

    Creator:
    Golbek, Thaddeus W.
    Abstract:
    WLBU2 is an engineered cationic amphiphilic peptide that targets Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and envelopes endotoxin while avoiding other cell types. The exact mechanism of how WLBU2 targets, binds, and disrupts bacterial cell membranes is still not completely known. Thus, the overall goal of this investigation is to determine the...

  • Model Predictive Control for Optimum Algal Growth

    Creator:
    Juneja, Ankita
    Abstract:
    Microalgae has been under careful consideration as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuel recently due to its year round production with high energy yields per unit area, reduced need for arable land, water treatment benefits with nutrient cycling, and minimal competition with the food industry. Despite of all these advantages,...

  • Characterization of phenolics in Marion and Evergreen blackberries

    Creator:
    Siriwoharn, Thanyaporn
    Abstract:
    Frozen Marion (Rubus sp. hyb) and Evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus) (whole berries, berries without seeds, and seeds alone) were acetone/ chloroform extracted. Phenolics were isolated using C₁₈ cartridges and polyamide resins, then characterized and measured by reversed-phase HPLC/diode array spectral techniques. The Polyamide isolated fractions of Marion berries contained four...

  • Electrochemical Advancement of Solid State Ion Selective Electrodes

    Creator:
    Bahro, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The general theme of this dissertation is the development of new analytical sensors to quantitatively study biological and environmental samples in aqueous and non-aqueous environments. A platinum ultramicroelectrode (UME) and a unique carbon-based pH microprobe were used to design a new SECM-based electrochemical bioassay. The Pt UME was used to...

    Jayathilake, Nadeeshani M.
    Abstract:
    Dental plaque is one of the well-characterized biofilms in the human body. Oral bacterial species play vital roles in maintaining healthy bacterial homeostasis as well as causing oral infections. Many of the oral diseases are caused by opportunistic pathogens, and therefore, the bacterial metabolic activities become important in dictating their...
