Biologically Active Secondary Metabolites from Red Sea Cyanobacteria

Creator:: Alhadab, Ali A.
Abstract:: This project describes the investigation of marine cyanobacteria collected from the Red Sea with an emphasis on the identification and prioritization of biologically active fractions for future purification and molecular structure elucidation of medicinally relevant secondary metabolites. Five crude extracts of taxonomically unidentified Red Sea cyanobacteria supplied by Egyptian collaborators...

Homeland Security Aspects of Oregon State’s Wave Energy Project

Creator:: Palmer, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Wave energy has a promising future, especially for the Pacific Northwest, and Oregon, pioneering the way to meet Oregon’s goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025. The project represents a significant ability to harness the untapped potential energy of ocean waves, and maintains the potential to replace standard power sources...

Native bees, honeybees and pollination in Oregon cranberries

Creator:: McKenney, Melissa A.
Abstract:: Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored he danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...

Female Genital Cutting in the Gambia: A Case for Tostan

Creator:: Kopper, Sarah
Abstract:: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines female genital cutting (FGC) as “all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons” (WHO, 2010). This practice has existed in Africa for thousands of years, but over the...

Studies Toward the Synthesis of Natural Product Scaffolds

Creator:: Lusk, Jason S.
Abstract:: Part 1: A Diels-Alder Approach to the Synthesis of Novel Analogues of the Natural Product Siamenol Due to the prevalence of biaryl motifs in natural product synthesis, the Carter research group has been exploring the utility of a Diels-Alder approach to biaryl synthesis. The Diels-Alder approach involves a [4+2] cycloaddition...

Quantification of C60 Particle Characteristics in Environmentally Relevant Aqueous Systems

Creator:: Adlong, Michelle R.
Abstract:: The production of the fullerene C60 and its emerging applications in consumer products imply its ultimate release to the environment. Due to the molecule’s relative novelty, the aqueous characteristics of C60 have not been fully assessed, though it may potentially harm human or ecological health. C60 is highly insoluble in...

College Algebra Students’ Beliefs About Mathematics and Mathematics Classes

Creator:: Hanussak, Debra
Abstract:: For several years researchers have investigated how teachers’ beliefs impact a classroom. Equally important to consider when striving to improve education are the beliefs held by the students. College Algebra is an important class for many collegiate students, and gaining an insight into their beliefs about mathematics and desires for...

Design and Implementation of a Capacitive Touch Children’s Guitar

Creator:: Sullivan, Erin
Abstract:: The Capacitive Touch Children’s Guitar is a fully functional electronic toy demonstrating an application of Cypress Semiconductor’s CapSense touch sensing technology. It was developed as a senior design project by myself and two other engineering students. I was responsible for the guitar’s LED lights, main microcontroller and sound storage and...

Enhanced Delivery of Cryoprotectant Chemicals to Cultured Neurons

Creator:: Wilson, Jenna L.
Abstract:: Due to the many advances in the areas of biotechnology and medicine, the need for long- term storage and stabilization of biological materials is rapidly increasing. The field of biopreservation is attempting to address these issues by finding ways to maintain the integrity and functionality of proteins, cells, and organs...

Digit Span Ratio, Joint Laxity, and Muscular Strength as Predisposing Factors for Female ACL Injuries

Creator:: Cohen, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Females more commonly injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in athletics than do males. Despite many studies researching anatomical, neuromuscular, and hormonal causes, the predisposing risk factors behind this occurrence are currently unknown. This study compared 5 females who had injured their ACL to 15 healthy females concentrating on three...
