Beyond free will: an empirical case for a capacity model of human agency

Creator:: Helzer, Erik G.
Abstract:: Although the question of free will has persisted throughout the history of philosophy as an important metaphysical consideration, rarely does the inquiry include empirical evidence from other disciplines concerned with human behavior. In this interdisciplinary paper, I combine the wisdom of psychologists, metaphysicians, and philosophers of science to comment on...

The broad spectrum antiviral compound ST-669 affects vesicular trafficking in Chlamydia-infected cells

Creator:: Valiant, William G.
Abstract:: Our laboratory is exploring the mechanism of action of a novel broad spectrum antiviral, ST-669. This compound has activity against a variety of different viruses and the obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia. In this study, we explored the effects of ST-669 when the cell cycle of the host cells was altered....

Power Grid Modeling Using Graph Theory and Machine Learning Techniques

Creator:: Duncan, Daniel
Abstract:: Graphs have a wide variety of real-world applications. In the area of social networks, graphs are composed of individuals and their relationships with others. Analysis of social networks led to the discovery of the small-world phenomena, which is also known as six degrees of separation. Our analysis is focused on...

A Comparative Analysis of Rodent Species Shows Oxidative Stress Resilience and HSP70 Expression Levels Correlate with Species Longevity

Creator:: Sarker, Minhazur R.
Abstract:: Researchers of healthy aging have determined trends between a species’ body mass and its maximal life span (MLSP). Actual MLSPs are then compared to predicted MLSPs and reported as a longevity quotient (LQ). Long-lived mammals, such as humans and naked mole rats (NMR), have LQs ranging from 5.0 to 10.0,...

Development and Characterization of Multiple Nanopore Systems for Molecular Sensing

Creator:: Schmeckpeper, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Artificial lipid bilayer technologies are effective models for studying cell membrane properties. Droplet bilayers rely on microfluidics and provide advantages over other bilayer methods due to their compatibility with automated development systems that increase yield while minimizing cost. This paper describes the implementation of bilayer technologies using membrane protein channels...

MatTek™ EpiIntestinal™ a 3D Small Intestine Epithelial Cell Culture Model For In Vitro Screening in Dietary Chemopreventive Agents

Creator:: Raymundo, Wilfrido E.
Abstract:: Testing the many potential chemoprevention agents from dietary sources in animal or human models is expensive and takes a long time. In vitro models can be useful for screening the right compounds to use in larger studies. We tested the MatTek™ EpiIntestinal™ small intestine epithelial 3D cell culture model for...

Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

Creator:: Rebarchik, Michael A.
Abstract:: Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...

Effective Signage to Manage Recreation at OSU’s Research Forests

Creator:: Walters, Corinne A.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on creating effective signage for the Oregon State University College of Forestry Research Forests (OSU Research Forests). The OSU Research Forests are a unique setting because they offer space for research, class field trips, active timber harvest, and public recreation. The public interface requires the management at...

A Method to Effectively Measure Sustainability in Non-Profit Organizations

Creator:: Vanlue, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: With the growing importance of sustainability, organizations in the non-profit sector need a way to measure, track, improve, and report their sustainability. Through research in current literature and a survey of practices within local non-profits, it is shown these organizations need a simple, flexible process with stakeholder participation to measure...
