Many Gram-negative bacteria use a type III secretion system (TTSS) to establish a relationship with a host. Pathogens can use the secretion system as a way to deliver proteins known as type III effectors (TTEs) into a host cell and block host defense. The variation and redundancy of the type...
The western spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata
undecimpunctata) and the western striped cucumber beetle (Acalymma trivittatum) are
pests of many crops, including vegetable, fruit, and nursery crops. Pesticides are
commonly used to control this pest. Trap and kill technologies are under development as
use in an alternative control for cucumber...

HafSOx is a dielectric material that also functions as an insulator. It is able to be spin-coated onto a silicon substrate, creating a thin, amorphous film. It is very dense, which helps lead it to a high dielectric constant, making it ideal for electronic devices through the use of lithography....
In the summer of 2010, Oregon State University Libraries underwent librarywide strategic realignment. We sought to transform the Libraries’ structure and create units with renewed and innovative purposes. We wanted to position ourselves to anticipate and address users’ needs and expectations both now and in the future. One unit that...
OVERVIEW OF INTRODUCTION - This is a combined thesis for both disciplines of BioResource Research (BRR)Interdisciplinary and International Degree (ID) Programs OSU. The first chapter encompasses the BRR research, which is a preliminary study utilizing immunohistochemical method to characterize melanomas in bigenic mice with activated Cdk4 protein and Retinoid-X-Receptor α...
Alpha tocopherol plays a critical role in preventing lipid peroxidation within the body. Lipid peroxidation within the brain is hypothesized to be a possible mechanism of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Due to the high amount of DHA, a long chain poly unsaturated fatty acid in the brain,...
