Assessment of the neuropathological consequences of vitamin E deficiency

Creator:: McDougall, Melissa Quin
Abstract:: Cognitive impairment, or cognitive decline, a noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive abilities (e.g. memory and learning) that exceeds those attributed to normal aging, represents an early symptom of neurodegeneration and increased risk for progression to more severe dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the complex etiology of these...

Lipidomics and H₂¹⁸O labeling techniques reveal increased remodeling of DHA-containing membrane phospholipids associated with abnormal locomotor responses in α-tocopherol deficient zebrafish (danio rerio) embryos

Creator:: McDougall, Melissa Q., Choi, Jaewoo, Stevens, Jan F., Truong, Lisa, Tanguay, Robert L., and Traber, Maret G.
Abstract:: We hypothesized that vitamin E (α-tocopherol) is required by the developing embryonic brain to prevent depletion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), the loss of which we predicted would underlie abnormal morphological and behavioral outcomes. Therefore, we fed adult 5D zebrafish (Danio rerio) defined diets without...

The Skeleton in the Closet: An Historic Forensic Case from Scio, Oregon

Creator:: Alapisco, Dawn Marie
Abstract:: In August of 2011, Jenny Minten came across an old coffin, complete with a skeleton, in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Scio lodge. After it was determined that the skeleton did not represent a modern forensic case, the remains were donated to the Oregon State University Anthropology Department....

Making the Shift: Narratives of Transfer from Planned Home Birth to the Hospital in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Houtman, Leah S.
Abstract:: About 1% of U.S. births each year are planned home births (Vital Statistics Reports 2017). Of these, roughly 10% transfer to a higher level of care during labor (Melissa Cheyney et al. 2014), yet their experiences are rarely heard. Storytelling has long been used not only as entertainment, but as...

Characterization of Low Temperature Crystallization Growth Parameters of the Growth-dominated Phase Change Materials: Ge1Sb6Te1 and Ga15Sb85 by Optical Microscopy

Creator:: Winseck, Mark M.
Abstract:: Phase change memory materials are a set of chalcogenide or pnictogenide materials systems currently being researched for use in optical and resistive based memory systems due to their large change in optoelectronic properties between the amorphous and the crystalline states. For these materials systems to be considered as a suitable...

(Re)-conceiving birthing spaces in India : exploring NGO promotion of institutional delivery in Rajasthan, India

Creator:: Price, Sara
Abstract:: In India, globalized flows of bio-medical discourse, practices and technologies are reshaping the field of reproductive healthcare, and the performance of childbirth more specifically. These projects aim to produce institutional delivery rooms that are "safe and modernized" by equating the utilization of westernized, obstetric techniques for managing delivery with better...

Crystallization Rates of AIST and Ge Thin Films by Optical and Electron Microscopy

Creator:: Bird, Victoriea L.
Abstract:: The amorphous to crystalline phase change is of great interest for the production and operation of phase change memory and germanium electronic devices. Phase change memory relies on the ability to differentiate between differences in optical or electrical properties between the amorphous and crystalline phases of a single material. Amorphous...

Protecting the forests and the people : exploring alternative conservation models that include the needs of communities : an Ecuadorian case study

Creator:: Gittelman, Melissa Laurel
Abstract:: This research explores differences in environmental worldviews and connections to the land globally and more specifically in a case study of NGOs working in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest. The aims of this project are to investigate different environmental worldviews expressed between western NGOs and non western local NGOs and to...

Synthesis, characterization, and analysis of nitroaromatic compounds

Creator:: McIntosh, Melissa Luana
Abstract:: Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

How do gear, participation, and dealer selection decisions relate to value? A price analysis of the U.S. West Coast Sablefish

Creator:: Krigbaum, Melissa
Abstract:: Sablefish is a commercially important species with catch allocated across multiple sectors and gear types on the U.S. West Coast. A flexibility provision in the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program sanctions those with trawl permits to target Sablefish with fixed gear, such as longlines or pots, allowing the...
