Effects of conjugated linoleic acids on PGE₂, PGF₂α and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells in vitro

Creator:: May, Katherine C. P.
Abstract:: Feeding conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) improves reproductive performance in dairy cows; however, the molecular mechanisms by which CLA improves reproduction are not well understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA altered synthesis of steroidogenic hormones in bovine luteal cells by measuring concentrations...

On the study of WEC prototype advancement with consideration of real-time life extending control

Creator:: Stillinger, Chad J.
Abstract:: Renewable energy is a topic of significant interest and importance in the world today. Ocean wave energy, particularly in areas such as the Oregon Coast, has considerable potential as a renewable resource. However, to rightly evaluate the overall cost of energy for wave energy converters, survivability and maintenance issues must...

A literature review of the functional movement screen as a predictor of injury in the sport of basketball

Creator:: Etzel, Chad E.
Abstract:: Athletic activities have always carried an inherent risk for injuries, and basketball is no exception. Basketball is the second most popular team sport in the United States in which 984,777 high school boys and girls participated during the 2010-2011 season. Athletic trainers and strength and conditioning staff are pressured to...

Classified bodies : disability, identity, and the technological classroom

Creator:: Iwertz, Chad E.
Abstract:: This thesis pursues a flexible understanding and definition of dis/ability as a broadly and liberally applied mark of stigma. It asks questions that develop a deeper understanding of how disability influences mētis, a knowledge or cunning use of the body. Through this framework of mētis, this thesis explores technologies as...

Understanding Public Perceptions of Post-Wildfire Landscape Recovery

Creator:: Kooistra, Chad M.
Abstract:: Forest disturbances, such as wildfires, pine beetle outbreaks, and floods are important features of many landscapes and ecosystems. Many disturbances are increasing in size, frequency, and intensity due to changing climates and land management decisions. The changing ecological and aesthetic conditions following a disturbance can lead to negative short- and...

Co-producing Software for Environmental and Ecological Visualization

Creator:: Zanocco, Chad
Abstract:: Environmental scientists, land managers, and policy actors are increasingly presented with high-stakes high-uncertainty problems stemming from human-ecosystem interactions. To help address these problems, scientists frequently use models that produce enormous geospatial and temporal datasets that are constantly modified and often seek input from communities outside their discipline. To assist scientists—as...

Training and Quality Assurance in Agencies Delivering an Evidence-Based Intervention : A Case Study

Creator:: Harris, Justin H. W.
Abstract:: Background: Training and quality assurance (QA) are important to high fidelity program implementation in practice settings but are rarely the focus of translation research. Thus, it is important to conduct studies that specifically address training and QA. Methods: Using the maximum variation case study method, we examined training and QA...

Risk Assessment of Salmonella in Raw Hazelnuts and use of Propylene Oxide as a Potential Mitigation Strategy

Creator:: Wright, Daniel G.
Abstract:: Multiple outbreaks of foodborne illness (Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7) have been associated with tree nuts and tree nut products since the early 2000s. In response to these outbreaks and many others in fresh produce and peanut butter, Congress created and passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to require...

Autonomous in situ measurements of estuarine surface PCO₂ : instrument development and initial estuarine observations

Creator:: Wall, Colleen McKay
Abstract:: A novel, low-cost instrument capable of measuring surface water PCO₂ was designed for use in dynamic, shallow-water environments. The instrument was tested in the Yaquina River Estuary, a macrotidal estuary known to experience a wide range of conditions ranging from dominance by the coastal ocean during summer upwelling to substantial...

Model Predictive Control for Optimum Algal Growth

Creator:: Juneja, Ankita
Abstract:: Microalgae has been under careful consideration as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuel recently due to its year round production with high energy yields per unit area, reduced need for arable land, water treatment benefits with nutrient cycling, and minimal competition with the food industry. Despite of all these advantages,...
