  • Biomimetic synthesis of GeO₂ and TiO₂ utilizing the R5 and poly-l-lysine peptides

    Creator:
    Helman, Talia A., Gessford, Makayla, and Baio, Joe
    Abstract:
    Diatoms, the most common type of algae, are one of the most prevalent organisms in the world. They live in wet ambient environments such as oceans, lakes and rivers and are easily recognizable because of their unique structure. Diatoms are surrounded by a silica cell wall called a frustule. The...

  • Sediment production from forest roads in the upper Oak Creek Watershed of the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Amann, Joseph R.
    Abstract:
    Unpaved roads are sources of chronic sediment in forested watersheds. Bare soil on roads is exposed to erosion from rainfall and runoff Published research on sediment production from forest roads focuses primarily on road characteristics. Since water drives the mechanics of sediment transport, hydrologic variables should correlate with sediment production....

  • Novel Predictive Simulation of Organ Perfusion Kinetics for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures

    Creator:
    Johnson, Hill S.
    Abstract:
    Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

  • State-of-the-Art Combination Therapies and Nanomedicines for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Creator:
    Fabbi, Meagan C.
    Abstract:
    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive molecular subtype of malignant cells that tends to proliferate quickly and is commonly resistant to traditional chemotherapy leading to relapses in prognosis more frequently than other forms of breast cancer (BCa) [1][2][3]. Current treatment options include surgical resection of cancerous tissue and...

  • Exploring Perceptions of Social Responsibility in Engineering Students

    Creator:
    Jahr, Amy
    Abstract:
    Incoming and graduating engineering students in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University were surveyed in order to assess awareness and integration of social responsibilities into their emerging professional persona and how those views are informed by program and faculty interactions. Preliminary analysis of responses...

  • Rational design of ex vivo model of thrombosis

    Creator:
    Patel, Ishan A.
    Abstract:
    When vessel walls within the vasculature are damaged, exposed extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins trigger a series of events that lead to the formation of a hemostatic plug (Andrews et al. 2004, Furie et al. 2008, Watson 2009). Thrombus formation requires an orchestrated series of receptor-mediated events facilitating platelet recruitment, platelet...

  • Effects of Long-term Use of Ankle Taping on Balance

    Creator:
    McGregor, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Regular ankle taping is commonly used to prevent ankle sprains, but the effects of its long-term use are not fully understood. This study examined the effects of ankle taping on balance in athletes who regularly tape their ankles versus those who do not. Fourteen collegiate gymnasts’ ability to balance on...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...
