Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces

Creator:: Schilke, Karl F.
Abstract:: Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces and surfaces are of fundamental importance for biomaterials, biocatalysis and microreactor applications. Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on poly-DL-tryptophan tethers showed 30x higher specific activity in aqueous and non-aqueous media than the same enzyme adsorbed or covalently bound directly to the surface. An excess...

The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...

New application of crystalline cellulose in rubber composites

Creator:: Bai, Wen
Abstract:: Rubber without reinforcement has limited applications. The strength of reinforced rubber composites can be ten times stronger than that of unreinforced rubbers. Therefore, rubber composites are widely used in various applications ranging from automobile tires to seals, valves, and gaskets because of their excellent mechanical elastic properties. Silica and carbon...

Experimental approach for the determination of lignin modification by manganese peroxidase

Creator:: Goby, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Degradation of lignin to simpler compounds is desirable for removing residual lignin during paper manufacture and accessing biomass carbohydrates for biofuel production, among other purposes. Lignin transformation using enzymes found in white rot fungi, some of nature's most efficient lignin-degrading organisms, offers a more environmentally benign, selective, and possibly less...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of sediment and wood in headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: May, Christine L.
Abstract:: Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...

Educational technology associations as change agents : A case study

Creator:: Stephenson, Christine (Christine Gale)
Abstract:: This research addressed the role of educational technology associations as change agents within education with particular emphasis on issues of advocacy and leadership. Using a poststructural feminist lens and the metaphor of interview and analysis as storytelling, it explored the perspectives of nineteen individuals belonging to a national level educational...

Entomopathogenic nematodes for biological control of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)

Creator:: Armer, Christine Andrea
Abstract:: The Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is the most devastating foliage-feeding pest of potatoes in the United States. Potential biological control agents include the nematodes Heterorhabditis marelatus Liu & Berry and Steinernema riobrave Cabanillas, Poinar & Raulston, which provided nearly 100% CPB control in previous laboratory trials. In...

Citizen-agency interactions : an investigation of postfire environments

Creator:: Olsen, Christine Shaw
Abstract:: Wildfire management has grown increasingly complex in recent years, particularly in the West and in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) where a steady population growth has resulted in greater risk to people and property. Recent trends suggest the process of recovering from large fires (>100,000 acres) will become increasingly important to...

Bone gains in adolescent athletes and non-athletes

Creator:: Rinder, Todd Anthony
Abstract:: Discordance in bone mass between young adult swimmers and soccer players may be a direct result of differences in bone loading patterns that influence bone mineralization during growth. Our aim was to evaluate whether sports participation (soccer and swimming) had an independent effect on bone mass accrual at the hip...

Sex differences in vertebral bone characteristic, loading patterns and the factor of risk in prepubertal children

Creator:: Fuller, Arwen A.
Abstract:: Sex differences in bone mass and size are thought to contribute to the greater incidence of vertebral fractures in women. While these sex differences are widely recognized, the relative contributions of bone mass, bone density, and bone size to the differences in vertebral strength and fracture risk between men and...

The cohomology rings of seven dimensional primitive cohomogeneity one manifolds

Creator:: Ultman, Shari K.
Abstract:: A striking feature in the study of Riemannian manifolds of positive sectional curvature is the narrowness of the collection of known examples. In this thesis, we examine the structure of the cohomology rings of three families of compact simply connected seven dimensional Riemannian manifolds that may contain new examples of...

A prospective study of functional performance balance self-efficacy, and bone mineral density in community-dwelling elderly women

Creator:: Gunter, Katherine B.
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of unintentional death with one of every three people 65 years and older falling each year. Falls account for approximately 95% of hip fractures among older adults and falls to the side predominate hip fracture related falls in this population. However,...

Specific loading protocols to promote bone mineral density in young women

Creator:: LaRiviere, Jane A.
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The aim of this dissertation...

Potential influences of oral contraceptive use and physical activity on bone health : a one-year prospective study in young women

Creator:: Almstedt Shoepe, Hawley Chase
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting 44 million Americans. A primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis is to develop a high peak bone mass in youth. Oral Contraceptives (OCs) alter hormones in women and could affect bone mass development. The interaction between OCs and skeletal mineralization is poorly understood. PURPOSE: Our...
