Optical Tweezer Trapping of Colloidal Polystyrene and Silica Microspheres

Creator:: Peters, Kyle C.
Abstract:: Optical trapping is a tool used throughout a wide variety of disciplines rang- ing from precisely probing and manipulating sub-micron organisms in biol- ogy to analyzing fundamental charge transfer in colloidal physics. This thesis presents research involving optical tweezer force measurements of polystyrene and silica microspheres. In addition, preliminary work...

Neighborhood crime : correlation between neighborhood upkeep and crime rates

Creator:: Miller, Nicholle M.
Abstract:: Crime rates affect everything from home values, to the quality of education. Through the use of Social Disorganization Theory this paper will support the hypothesis that there is a correlation between neighborhood upkeep and crime rates within neighborhoods. Social Disorganization theory itself aims to show the correlation between the place...

Phytochemical characterization of Fagonia indica and its effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line

Creator:: Kumbi, Yadano
Abstract:: Phytochemicals from the genus, Fagonia, have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential beneficial effects on human health, particularly, anti-cancer properties. Certain Fagonia species contain various types of phytochemicals such as saponins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition of a...

Gene-Environment Interactions In Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Risk

Creator:: Almousawi, Fatimah Hussain
Abstract:: Cancer economic impact is enormous and depending on the stage in which a colon cancer is detected, five-year survival rates for colon cancer may be as high as 74%, or as low as 6% (American Cancer Society, 2012). Thus early prevention of colon cancer is crucial to maximize the chances...

Comparing Metacarcinus magister settlement preferences among the seagrasses Z. marina and Z. japonica

Creator:: Jaco, Erin M. and Heidmann, Sarah
Abstract:: Metacarcinus magister, the Dungeness crab, is a commercially important species on the Pacific Northwest coast as the most profitable fishery in Oregon and an important ecological player as both predator and prey. Understanding the spatial distribution of Dungeness throughout different life history stages is beneficial both ecologically and economically. Zostera...

Enhanced Protein Homeostasis Mechanisms in Naked Mole Rats Cells

Creator:: Pride, Harrison, Coles, Alex, Mochnick, Jillian, Zhang, Yiqiang, Buffenstein, Rochelle, Hornsby, Peter J., Austad, Steve, Richardson, Arlan, and Perez, Viviana I.
Abstract:: Phylogenic studies suggest that cells from long-lived species are more resistant to a variety of stressors than short-lived species. However, there is little information on the cellular mechanisms that give rise to increased resistance to stress. Our previous studies have shown that liver proteins from a long-lived species have lower...

Carbon Footprint Calculations for Oregon State University and Guadalupe, Cerro Punta, Panama

Creator:: Melendez-Rivera, Kimberly
Abstract:: Greenhouse gases effects are a leading contributor to climate change; reducing harmful effects of these gases is important for future generations. Worldwide, household consumption makes up seventy-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions, followed by government consumption at ten percent, and investments at eighteen percent (Hertwich, 2009). In order to understand...
