Determination of Total Nucleotides, Nitrogenous Bases and Degradation By-Products with Respect to Various Processing and Preservation Techniques for Alaska Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) and Yellowfin Sole (Limanada aspera)

Creator:: Nelson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this research was to determine the concentration and composition of nucleotides, as nucleoside monophosphates and nucleobases, in the underutilized reproductive organs (milt and roe) of Alaska pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) and yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera). Changes in concentrations of these nucleotides and nucleotide analogs were observed with...

Discovering Antigone: A Non-Normative Political Figure

Creator:: Patten, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: This thesis analyzes Sophocles’ classic Greek tragedy Antigone as it relates to biopolitics, biopower, democratic language and non-normative principles of politics. I argue that the figure of Antigone enables a better understanding of exclusive biopolitical philosophy. Antigone is a figure not recognized as human because her gender is tortured and...

Development of Quantitative PCR Assays to Aid in Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) Diagnostics and Resistance Breeding Efforts in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Soule, Michelle L.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the two most common root-knot nematodes are Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne chitwoodi. These nematodes can infect a wide variety of crops and can cause significant losses. Currently, it is common for the field of nematology to use labor-intensive microscopy to identify plant-parasitic nematodes based on...

Understanding the Contribution of a Seafood Processing Sector to Community Resilience: The Case of Tillamook County

Creator:: Beaullieu, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Seafood processing is a sector of the seafood supply chain in which individuals and communities along Oregon’s coast rely on for food, livelihood, economic, and cultural relationships. Many coastal resilience studies focus on the seafood harvest (fishing) communities leaving the seafood processing sector relatively understudied. The objective of this thesis...

Virulent Mycobacterium avium subspecies Hominissuis Subverts Macrophages during Early Stages of Infection

Creator:: Ndzeidze, Robert F.
Abstract:: Interference with the host post-translational mechanisms, such as protein phosphorylation, is a key strategy used by many intracellular bacterial pathogens to subvert host immune cell function. Virulent non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTMs) unlike attenuated or non-pathogenic NTMs, successfully reside and multiply within the phagosomes of phagocytic cells such as monocytes and macrophages....

Metabolic Implications of Red Raspberry Polyphenol Supplementation in High Fat-Fed C57BL/6J Mice

Creator:: Pierce, Gavin W.
Abstract:: Objective: Red raspberries are rich in polyphenols and fiber, relatively low in sugar compared with other fruits, and have been demonstrated to have favorable effects on energy homeostasis in mice. However, it has been unclear precisely which compounds within red raspberries possess the greatest bioactivity, and their mechanism of action....

Silviculture Impacts and Population Genomics of Coniferiporia sulphurascens, the Causal Agent of Laminated Root Rot

Creator:: McMurtrey, Shawn
Abstract:: Within the Pacific Northwest, USA, root diseases of conifers are a major forest health concern. These diseases are primarily caused by basidiomycete fungi. These fungal associates play a vital role in carbon sequestration but also have a significant negative economic impact within the timber industry. As a result, research on...
