Conception to contraception : an ethnographic study among the Meo in north India

Creator:: Akhtar, Md. Faiyaz
Abstract:: This ethnographic study was conducted among the Meo community of north India to understand cultural norms, prescriptive behaviors, and practices associated with conceptions and contraception among Meo women and men living in five neighboring villages in the region of Mewat. The study goals were to collect ethnographic data on fertility-related...

Living between two cultures : an ethnographic study of American women converts to Islam

Creator:: Fisher, Dianna M.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the reasons for conversion to Islam for ten well-educated, Caucasian, American born women of European descent in a small, relatively affluent college town in Oregon, United States. It follows their process of constructing a new identity with their families, with friends, within the Muslim community and within...

Bridging differences : Saudi Arabian students reflect on their educational experiences and share success strategies

Creator:: Shaw, Donna L. (Donna Laible)
Abstract:: This study examines the U.S. educational experiences of Saudi Arabian students. Using qualitative case study and photo-elicitation research methods, this study conducted multiple interviews with 25 Saudi students and explored their perceptions of their American learning environment, how it differed from Saudi Arabia, and the strategies they developed to successfully...

Delivering oxytetracycline to first-feeding zebrafish Danio rerio (Hamilton) and goby Asterropteryx semipunctata (Rüppell) larvae using lipid spray beads

Creator:: Temple, Ephraim E.
Abstract:: Effective treatment of larval bacterial diseases is a difficult problem when culturing ornamental fish. Oral administration of antibiotics using existing microparticle types is not effective due to high leakage rates; furthermore, injection of larvae is not practical. Treatment is currently limited to use of antibiotic baths, . In this study,...

Identification of an aerotaxis transducer in Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Boin, Markus A.
Abstract:: The ability to move towards favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the V. cholerae genome designated VCAer-1 (VC0512) VCAer-2 (VCA0658), and VCAer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion analyses indicated that only...

Barriers to exercise: Kuwaiti individuals with and without physical disabilities

Creator:: Arab, Maryam
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the stages of exercise change, the levels of physical activity, and barriers to exercise among Kuwaiti individuals with and without disabilities. This study was conducted on 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) aged from 18 to 55 years. Stage of exercise...

A novel lattice Boltzmann method for treatment of multicomponent convection, diffusion, and reaction phenomena in multiphase systems

Creator:: Parker, James Muirhead
Abstract:: In this work, a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model is developed for the simulation of multiphase mixing, reactions, and separations processes. This model is unique in that diffusive mass transfer of a component in the model is driven by gradients of chemical potential. This fundamentally correct description of diffusion accurately captures...

Development of a heat transfer coefficient for a single mist nozzle impinging on a heated thin sheet of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel using infrared thermography

Creator:: Cadell, Seth R.
Abstract:: A purpose built facility was designed, built and operated at the Advanced Thermal Hydraulic Research Laboratory, which is located at Oregon State University. This facility was used to heat a plate of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel to 800 °C and then cool the plate using a fine mist of water...

Simple sequence repeat marker development and use in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Gürcan, Kahraman
Abstract:: New highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). were developed from several sources. The markers were characterized, and segregation in a mapping population allowed to assign them to linkage groups. Their transferability across genera and species in the Betulaceae family was investigated. SSR markers...

Application of toxicogenomics to determine mechanism of tumor modulation by dietary indole phytochemicals in hepatocellular carcinoma

Creator:: Tilton, Susan C.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a primary I3C derivative in vivo, are known chemopreventive agents available as dietary supplements. I3C was found to suppress or enhance tumors in several animal models. Chemoprotection is attributed to the ability of indoles to alter carcinogen metabolism effectively blocking initiation. However, mechanisms for enhancement...
