Enhancing Protocols to Improve Consistency Across Nanotoxicology Studies

Creator:: Luker, Sabrina R.
Abstract:: In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...

Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

Creator:: Bernert, Ann
Abstract:: Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

Needs Assessment of the Strawberry Industry

Creator:: Howe, Shianne M.
Abstract:: Oregon is the number three producer of strawberries in the nation despite the fact that Oregon strawberry acreage dropped from 2,600 acres in 2005 to 2,000 acres in 2014 (Beeles, 2015; NASS, 2019, Losh, 2017). With over three billion pounds of berries grown nationally each year, strawberries are an important...

Toxicity and Mutagenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soils using Mammalian In Vitro Assay

Creator:: Luker, George W.
Abstract:: There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

Antibiotic Resistance Gene Transfer in Oysters as a Result of Fecal Pollution

Creator:: Cooper, Rebecca
Abstract:: Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in many species of bacteria today, with pathogens an important focus. Fecal contamination of shellfish is already a concern due to potential pathogens. This report examines the possibility of resistance gene transfer between microbes, due to fecal bacteria, within the oyster. In this study,...

Immunohistochemical characterization of melanomas in bigenic mice containing activated Cdk4 and keratinocyte specific ablation of Retinoid-X-Receptor alpha (RXRα) protein With international consideration of Differences in Societal and Behavioral Attitudes toward Skin Cancer between Japanese American and Japanese

Creator:: Nguyen, Vananh M.
Abstract:: 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...

Differences in Societal and Behavioral Attitudes toward Skin Cancer between Japanese American and Japanese

Creator:: Nguyen, Vananh M.
Abstract:: The rate of melanoma among Asian American has been steadily increasing in the past five years, while in other Asian countries, such as Japan, the incident rate remains relatively the same. Does the culture and societal attitudes toward skin cancer make a difference in the incident rate of melanoma? This...

Biosynthetic Studies of the α-Amylase Inhibitor Trestatin in Streptomyces dimorphogenes

Creator:: Demessie, Ananiya A.
Abstract:: The prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the United States and globally has been rising in the last few decades and it continues to climb. One of the causes for this increase is the over consumption of sugars and/or carbohydrates. Among medications available to treat obesity and diabetes are the...
