Biochemical, molecular and physiological characterization of 1-butanol dehydrogenases of Pseudomonas butanovora in butane and 1-butanol metabolism

Creator:: Vangnai, Alisa S.
Abstract:: Butane-grown Pseudomonas butanovora oxidized butane by a soluble butane monooxygenase through the terminal pathway yielding 1 -butanol as the predominant product. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) involved in butane oxidation in P. butanovora were purified and characterized at the biochemical, genetic and physiological levels. Butane-grown P. butanovora expressed a type I soluble...

Get movin’ in the morning : effects on physical activity levels, parental support, and on-task behavior in elementary school children

Creator:: Senso, Meghan M.
Abstract:: As childhood obesity rises in the United States, so does the need for effective, sustainable physical activity interventions. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of an early morning care program as well as determine the program’s effects on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during the program and...

Estranged Eating

Creator:: Lacy, Amber D.
Abstract:: The “fat-hunger paradox” is a relatively recent phenomenon in the United States in which people of low socioeconomic status are disproportionately overweight or obese, and yet frequently lack access to adequate food and nutrition. Research indicates additional disparities in the prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst most racial and ethnic...

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

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...

VO₂peak and running economy in female collegiate soccer players across a competitive season

Creator:: Olson, Johanna R.
Abstract:: Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course of a training season...

Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

Creator:: Joubert, Lanae Marie
Abstract:: Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

The effects of thinning on forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Larson, David J.
Abstract:: Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...

Effects of thinning on forest-floor vertebrates and analysis of habitat associations along ecological gradients in Oregon coastal Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Suzuki, Nobuya
Abstract:: Thinning has the potential to increase structural diversity of managed forests for wildlife. During 1994-1996, I conducted experimental and observational studies using pitfall trapping to assess short-term and potential long-term effects of thinning on abundance and reproduction of forest-floor vertebrates in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menzeisii) forests of the Oregon Coast Range....

Developing a basis for characterizing precision of estimates produced from non-probability samples on continuous domains

Creator:: Cooper, Cynthia
Abstract:: This research addresses sample process variance estimation on continuous domains and for non-probability samples in particular. The motivation for the research is a scenario in which a program has collected non-probability samples for which there is interest in characterizing how much an extrapolation to the domain would vary given similarly...
