  • 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,...

  • A Java implementation of the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm using NIST curves over GF(p)

    Creator:
    Stadick, Rhea
    Abstract:
    The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a public key cryptosystem used for creation and verification of digital signatures in electronic documents. In this thesis, we created a Java applet that provides the functionality of the ECDSA using all of the NIST elliptic curves over GF(p). This applet was...

  • The Effects of In Ovo Feeding of Fatty Acids and Antioxidants on Broiler Chicken Hatchability and Chick Tissue Lipids

    Creator:
    Schaal, Travis P.
    Abstract:
    Hatchability of broiler eggs has not increased over the last twenty years. Increasing hatchability with in ovo technology may be possible through feeding metabolic modulators to the developing embryo. Exogenous fatty acids and antioxidants provided during incubation may enhance polyunsaturated fatty acid, lipid, and antioxidant status of the chicken embryo....

  • Functionalization of Surfaces with Nisin in a Polyethylene Oxide Brush Layer

    Creator:
    Ryder, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted devices. Another common problem is protein adsorption to the surface of the device and subsequent blood clotting. Methods for combating these...

  • Factorization of Integers

    Creator:
    Simshaw, James
    Abstract:
    Factorization of integers is an important aspect of cryptography since it can be used as an attack against some of the common cryptographic methods being used. There are numerous methods in existence for factoring integers. Some of these are faster than others for general numbers, while others work best on...

  • Effects of phenytoin and carbamazepine on calcium transport in Caco-2 cells and pilot study to compare the role of the Chilean and United States pharmacist from the patient perspective

    Creator:
    von Borstel, Melinda
    Abstract:
    Adverse effects of anti-epileptic (AED) medications on bone density have been reported since the 1960s. Phenytoin and carbamazepine, two commonly prescribed AED, are frequently associated with osteomalacia including fractures and reduced bone formation. The mechanism by which AED induces bone loss is not fully explained. We sought to determine the...

  • Investigating the age-related loss of endoplasmic reticulum stress response

    Creator:
    Fallahi, Anahita
    Abstract:
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle in the cell where protein folding and processing occurs, and conditions that negatively affect ER functions are highly detrimental to the cell. The accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER leads to a condition known as ER Stress. The ER has developed...

  • Activation and Nuclear Translocation of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 by the MAP Kinase Family

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Ngan H.
    Abstract:
    Eukaryotic cells have developed elaborate biochemical processes to counteract oxidative stress, electrophiles, or carcinogens due to environmental insults. One of these important cellular defense mechanisms is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 that have been shown to have decrease activity with age. While the process of which Nrf2 is involved...

  • Flux Balance Analysis of Synechocystis PCC 6803.

    Creator:
    Elder, Robert M.
    Abstract:
    In order to improve photosynthetic hydrogen production, initial work has begun on a flux balance analysis of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, a model H2-producing organism. The mathematical model developed includes reactions relevant to photoautotrophic growth: glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the Calvin cycle, the photosynthetic electron transport chain, the...
