  • Of mice and bunnies : Walt Disney, Hugh Hefner, and the age of consensus

    Creator:
    Allen-Spencer, Patricia C.
    Abstract:
    Post World War II victory culture and its fallout-the consensus ideology-led to the creation of a middle class willing to conform to a prescribed set of ideals, safely removed from all danger, and enjoying the material benefits of a growing middle-class income bracket. Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner, two seemingly...

  • "It was on the tip of everyone's tongue, Tyler and I just gave it a name" : Fight Club's representation of consumer culture

    Creator:
    Wicks, James Anthony
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the representation of consumer culture in Fight Club within the context of Frederic Jameson's theory of postmodernism. I propose that the film represents consumer culture as a totalizing system. This representation is evident in the setting of the film and in the Narrator's attempt to escape from...

  • Process segmentation and modelling applied to time series featuring the response of biological materials to toxic agents

    Creator:
    Teng, Angela
    Abstract:
    The detection of biological and chemical toxins has become one of the main concerns in environmental and military fields. In this framework, the department of Microbiology and Biochemistry at Oregon State University has discovered that fish living cells are promising indicators of the presence of a wide range of toxins....

  • Glutenin macropolymer in salted and alkaline noodles and its relation with dough properties and cooked noodle texture

    Creator:
    Ong, Yee-Ling
    Abstract:
    Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...

  • Mass spectrometric analysis of bovine neurofilament proteins NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H : peptide mapping, phosphorylation and alkylation site identification

    Creator:
    Mixon, April E.
    Abstract:
    Neurofilament proteins are intermediate filaments found in the neuronal cytoskeleton. Phosphorylation of these proteins is considered important for the assembly and stability of the filaments. Accurate molecular weights have been difficult to measure, largely because the high degree of phosphorylation results in M[subscript r]'S that are significantly greater than dictated...

  • Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

    Creator:
    Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

  • Human bitterness detection thresholds of hop acids in beer and honey

    Creator:
    Kolpin, Kathryn M.
    Abstract:
    Alpha acids are found in the lupulin glands of hops cones. These acids have no bitterness of their own, but can be isomerized and subsequently hydrogenated to form bitter iso-α-acids and tetrahydroiso-α-acids respectively. Current literature values for the detection thresholds of iso-α-acid and tetrahydroiso-α-acid in lager beer have been reported...

  • Adolescent out-of-school programs and negative outcomes : a longitudinal analysis

    Creator:
    Luckey, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    This study examined associations between participation in voluntary out-of-school programs (e.g., scouting, Boys' and Girls' Clubs, 4-H, YMCA/YWCA) in adolescence and four negative outcomes: school dropout, early sexual activity, delinquency, and drug use. A prospective longitudinal design had collected four waves of interview data on a national sample of 15,000...

  • Multimedia streaming using multiple TCP connections

    Creator:
    Tullimalli, Sunand
    Abstract:
    Packet loss, delay and time-varying bandwidth are three main problems facing multimedia streaming applications over the Internet. Existing techniques such as Media-aware network protocol, network adaptive source and channel coding, etc. have been proposed to either overcome or alleviate these drawbacks of the Internet. But these techniques either need specialized...
