  • The role of CYP2E1 and CYP4A in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

    Creator:
    Hawkins, Jenna M.
    Abstract:
    Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is an emerging form of liver disease associated with obesity, type II diabetes and dyslipidemia. As the prevalence of these metabolic conditions increases, so too has the occurrence of NASH in all sectors of the population. The pathology of this disease is similar to its alcoholic form,...

  • Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

    Creator:
    Dietel, Brian Christopher
    Abstract:
    If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

  • Effect of pharmaceuticals and natural products on multidrug resistance mediatedtransport in Caco-2 and MDCKII-MDR1 drug transport models

    Creator:
    Fan, Ying
    Abstract:
    This thesis details my investigation of some pharmaceuticals and natural products on the transport of drugs which are substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), such as cyclosporin A (CSA) and digoxin by using Caco-2 and MDCKII-MDR1 drug transport models. Three objectives were performed to address this goal. The first objective was to...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • Limiting copper loss from treated wood in or near aquatic environments

    Creator:
    Mitsuhashi Gonzalez, June M.
    Abstract:
    Copper migration from treated wood has created concerns within the environmental community because of the potential effects of this heavy metal on aquatic organisms. Migration can be limited, to some extent, by more controlled treatments and by post-treatment processing, but these actions cannot completely overcome the problem. An alternative approach...

  • The optimization of thin film p-CuO/n-ZnO heterostructures for use in selective gas detection

    Creator:
    Dandeneau, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Since bulk p-CuO/n-ZnO heterocontacts were first proposed for gas detection, rapid development has taken place in improving the overall functionality of these structures. While bulk heterocontacts have been shown to exhibit desirable sensitivity and selectivity characteristics, these devices suffer from innate diffusion and ZnO/CuO connectivity drawbacks that limit their effective...

  • The Forest Field Program : a case study in forest education for Latino youth

    Creator:
    Gonzalez, Emily A.
    Abstract:
    This study involved the development of two bilingual and inquiry-based forest education programs within the Central Willamette Valley of Oregon. The first program used the participatory research (PR) process to engage 7th and 8th grade Latino students as participatory researchers to interview members of their community to learn their perspectives...

  • DNA binding and beyond : an investigation of proteins involved in PAH-induced carcinogesesis

    Creator:
    Hooven, Louisa Ada
    Abstract:
    Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) has been determined to be a risk factor for various forms of human cancer. PAH DNA adducts have been shown to cause mutations, but carcinogenesis is also accompanied by alterations in gene expression. Inhibiting individual cytochrome P450s could clarify the interaction...

    Blanke, Barbara Lynn
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this case study was to examine a third-grade teacher’s effective use of mathematical discourse in the classroom setting. The study offers insights into the following research questions: 1) How does a teacher’s engagement in mathematical discourse communities influence her practice and self-efficacy as a mathematics educator? 2)...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...
