Everything in Moderation : A Study of the Effects of Alcohol Consumption on Health from Local and International Perspectives

Creator:: Wardzala, Casia Lynn
Abstract:: The consumption of alcohol has been shown to have effects on health that are both harmful and therapeutic, depending on the amount that is consumed. Alcohol’s effects can be damaging to the body in excess but, in moderation, can act as a protectant against certain conditions. The two studies discussed...

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...

The Effect of an Ethics Course on Bioengineering Students' Understanding of Social Justice Issues in the Context of Engineering

Creator:: Rinker, Torri E.
Abstract:: The nature of engineering work requires that ethical considerations are taken into account while making decisions surrounding topics such as technology, equal distribution of cost benefits, and consumer risk. In order for engineers to make ethical decisions in their careers, it is helpful if their engineering education provided them with...

Developing a Qualitative Assessment Instrument to Measure Conceptualization of Oppression and Privilege

Creator:: Johnson, Rachel M.
Abstract:: An understanding of oppression and privilege would improve engineering climates and encourage individuals with marginalized identities to stay engaged in engineering spaces. Currently there are quantitative tools to assess cultural competencies, but none that measure understandings of power relationships. This project aims to create a qualitative assessment instrument to measure...

Use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance image processing for evaluation of supraspinatus and biceps tendon pathology in dogs

Creator:: Sheikh, Omar
Abstract:: Shoulder injuries, especially those caused by rotator cuff tears, are a pervasive problem in human and canine patients. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose rotator cuff tears is important for early and targeted treatment. Prior clinical work has demonstrated that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose these tears....

Expression Properties of Two Promoters During Callus and Shoot Development in Transgenic Poplar

Creator:: Brousseau, Anna G.
Abstract:: The Arabidopsis thaliana developmental promoters of WUSCHEL (WUS) and COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (CSP3) were tested for their suitability as potential control elements for the Cre-Lox recombination system in poplar cells. To remove the integrated transgene after CRISPR machinery has modified the genome, timely control of Cre is required....

Mathematically modeling transient temperature variation in a human neonate undergoing intensive blue light phototherapy for management of hyperbilirubinemia

Creator:: Gondhalekar, Vikram B.
Abstract:: Neonatal jaundice secondary to hyperbilirubinemia occurs in 60% of all term newborns and nearly all preterm newborns in the US. Severe cases of this may lead to chronic encephalopathy, neurologic deficits, and, in some cases, death. Intensive blue light phototherapy involves irradiation of a patient with high intensity light and...

Investigation of the Relationship Between Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture and Mechanical Stress

Creator:: Agalzoff, Nicholas
Abstract:: The factors that cause abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture were investigated. Included in this study were aneurysm volume, thrombus thickness, lumen area, thrombus area, the average stress acting on the aorta, and the maximum stress on the aorta. The geometric values were obtained by tracing a series of computerized axial tomography...

Molecular origins of peptide entrapment within polyethylene oxide brush layers

Creator:: Lampi, Marsha C.
Abstract:: Effective surface coatings for tissue-contacting medical devices should prevent both biofilm formation and infection. One method to achieve this aim is protein repellant polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush coatings loaded with antimicrobials. Previous research has demonstrated that the antimicrobial nisin adsorbs to PEO brush layers in multi-layer amounts and suggests that...

Scale Up & Optimization of the Liquid Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Orange Oil with Dry Ice

Creator:: Fraser-Hevlin, Brenden C. S.
Abstract:: Essential oils have numerous chemical and therapeutic applications. Some oil extraction methods, including steam distillation, require a large energy input. An alternative technique with a lower energy demand is the extraction of oils using supercritical liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which extracts essential oils with minimal environmental impact. While this often...
