  • Lead(II) Extraction with Electrospun Spiropyran Functionalized PMMA Nanofibers

    Creator:
    Fuchs, Brian K.
    Abstract:
    A system to reversibly extract Pb²⁺ ions from aqueous solutions using spiropyran functionalized nanofibers was proposed. Spiropyrans are photochromic compounds which undergo a conformational change that alters their physical properties and makes Pb²⁺ binding possible upon irradiation with UV light (365 nm). Irradiation with green light (525 nm) reverses this...

  • Restoring and Updating the Micralyne μTK

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek H.
    Abstract:
    The Micralyne microfluidic toolkit (μTK) was an instrument built by Micralyne in the early 2000’s. It was built for electrophoresis and has a sensitive laser-induced fluorescence detection system. The updates to the system were upgrading the control GUI from running in LabVIEW 5 (Windows XP, 2000) to LabVIEW 2012 (Windows...

  • Photoactuated Droplet Microfluidics

    Creator:
    Frederick, Ryan T.
    Abstract:
    A system of Photoactuated Droplet Microfluidics (PDM), in which a droplet of fluid is moved by way of the manipulation of the wettability of a spiropyran functionalized surface via irradiation with ultraviolet and visible light, was proposed. The photochromic behaviors of several species of spiropyran were studied and a procedure...

  • Design and Fabrication of a Polymeric Microfluidic Device for Automated

    Creator:
    Warner, Kelsie E.
    Abstract:
    Gene synthesis is an important tool in molecular biology. However, the current bench-top method of gene synthesis is a costly, time-intensive and reagent-consuming process. Lab-on-chip technology has many benefits over current bench top methods. Microchips consume smaller reagent volumes, are reusable and less expensive to make. This thesis explores the...

  • Comparative Studies of Batch and Continuous Processes for the Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Ramsing, Patrick E.
    Abstract:
    The cross over from batch nanoparticle synthesis to continuous synthesis processes is crucial to the commercialization of these materials. This project reports comparative studies of batch and continuous synthese of copper nanoparticles by the polyol method. Continuous synthesis of copper nanoparticles was done utilizing a stainless steel micro-mixer that yielded...

  • Fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi on selected Oregon grasses

    Creator:
    Adams, Vincent T.
    Abstract:
    Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of grasses that is transmitted by aphids. Little research has been done examining the response of aphids to different host grasses in naturally mixed communities. We measured the short-term fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a widely distributed vector of...

  • Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

    Creator:
    Casey, Jorie L.
    Abstract:
    Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

  • Evaluation of Oxidation Reduction Potential in Metabolic Syndrome Subjects Compared with Matched Normal Subjects

    Creator:
    Cobb, Tora Jean
    Abstract:
    This study was conducted to assess whether healthy adults compared with those with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) have different mean oxidative-reductive potentials. Static oxidation-reduction potentials and capacity oxidation reduction potentials (sORP and cORP, respectively) were measured in plasma samples. The RedoxSYS® measures sORP in millivolts (mV), which is proportional to the...

  • Public Discourses and Public Image-Making in Periclean Athens

    Creator:
    Petersen, Ben
    Abstract:
    When one looks back on fifth-century Athens, one political figure stands out: Pericles. He is famous for many things but mostly the idealized version of him that one reads about in Thucydides. However, what most people do not know is that there was a counter-narrative to this well known account—the...

    Abstract:
    The gut microbiome influences human disease including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome and interacts with the innate immune system. The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (hCAMP), an important component of the innate immune system, and vitamin D and xanthohumol, a natural compound found in beer hops, regulate its expression....
