  • The accessible Chaucer

    Creator:
    Luepke, Natasha M.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I explore the ways in which twenty-first century Americans have access to Geoffrey Chaucer and his works. I look at issues surrounding Chaucer within the canon debate, high school history and literature textbooks, and Chaucer in popular culture, such as in movies like A Knight's Tale. I...

  • Genetics of tocopherol composition in sunflower seed

    Creator:
    Hass, Catherine G.
    Abstract:
    Tocopherols are plant secondary metabolites that are known collectively as vitamin E. Tocopherol compounds act as potent antioxidants by quenching free radicals and protecting fatty acids from oxidative damage. In humans (in vivo) tocopherols protect membrane lipids from breaking down, while in oils (in vitro) tocopherols protect fatty acids from...

  • Effect of the calpain inhibitor E-64-d on the degradation of α-fodrin in damaged muscle

    Creator:
    Boyd, Jeffrey
    Abstract:
    We hypothesized that calpain activity is elevated in response to muscle damage. To test this hypothesis, we examined the degradation of α-fodrin into its 150 and 145 kDa fragments following either 20 eccentric or isometric contractions. In addition, experiments were performed in the presence or absence of E-64-d, a calpain...

  • Sesame oil increases plasma γ-tocopherol and inhibits γ-tocopherol metabolism in humans

    Creator:
    Lee, Sangeun
    Abstract:
    In rats, sesame lignans increase plasma γ-tocopherol concentrations and inhibit γ-tocopherol degradation to its metabolite γ-carboxyethylhydroxychroman (γ-CEHC). To test if sesame lignan consumption inhibits γ- tocopherol metabolism in humans, muffins prepared with either corn oil (control) or sesame oil and an equimolar mixture of deuterium labeled d6-α- and d2-γ- tocopheryl...

  • Vitamin E with the addition of flaxseed to create designer eggs

    Creator:
    Johnson, Rebecca C.
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of various levels of vitamin E on egg yolk. A diet of corn-flax-soybean meal was fed to layers and α-tocopherol content in eggs, egg production, and egg quality were evaluated. In experiment 2, vitamin E toxicity was also determined. In experiment 1,...

  • FAR : an end-user language to support cottage e-services

    Creator:
    Chekka, Sudheer Kumar
    Abstract:
    E-commerce has begun to evolve beyond simple web pages to more sophisticated ways of conducting e-business transactions, such as through electronic advertising, negotiation, and delivery. However, to participate in these advances requires the skills of professional programmers, and end-user owners of small businesses often cannot justify this expense. In this...

  • A 10 bit algorithmic A/D converter for a biosensor

    Creator:
    Rengachari, Thirumalai
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel algorithmic A/D converter to be used in a biosensor. The converter is capable of a conversion rate of 1.5 bits/phase and hence the required conversion time is reduced. The proposed architecture is analyzed for non-ideal effects and compared with existing algorithmic A/D architectures. The converter...

  • Evaluating downstream channel changes in response to a small dam removal on the Calapooia River, Oregon with respect to measurement errors and prior aerial photo observed changes

    Creator:
    Walter, Cara
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of aerial photos as a substitute for multiple-year pre-removal field data to assess the downstream channel changes associated with a small dam removal. The Brownsville Dam, a 2.1 m tall concrete dam on the Calapooia River, Oregon, was removed in...
