  • Age-related response of isolated rat hepatocytes to menadione and (R)-[alpha]-lipoic acid

    Creator:
    Graves, Jason T.
    Abstract:
    Age-related decline in the capacity of endogenous antioxidant systems complicates pharmaceutical use by the elderly by potentially increasing the toxicity of some compounds. Of particular interest is chemical detoxification via glutathione (GSH) and attendant GSH-requiring detoxification enzymes, e.g. GSH peroxidases (GPX) and GSH S-transferase (GST). These enzymes have been shown...

  • Spatial and vertical distribution of the invasive European green crab in a temperate estuarine system

    Creator:
    Lundeberg, Christopher A. and Weldon, Taylor
    Abstract:
    The European green crab, Carcinus maenas, is a generalist predator that has established invasive populations throughout the world, including the west coast of North America. In Oregon, strong cohorts of green crabs recruit only during major El Niño events. The goals of this study are to: 1) compare the abundance...

  • Calibration Methods for an Aerolab 375 Sting Balance to be used in Wind Tunnel Testing

    Creator:
    Van Hatten, Sean E.
    Abstract:
    Internal force, or sting, balances are used in wind tunnel testing to measure the total force and moment imposed on an aerodynamic structure. A sting balance operates through strain gauges converting strain from externally applied loads to voltage signals. An accurate measuring device is of paramount importance in wind tunnel...

  • Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

    Creator:
    Capek, Elliott
    Abstract:
    Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...

  • Toxicity and Mutagenicity of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soils using Mammalian In Vitro Assay

    Creator:
    Luker, George W.
    Abstract:
    There exists a growing need to establish a better in vitro model for evaluating PAH toxicity and carcinogenicity and to improve assessments of risk to human health, especially to the complex mixtures that exist in the environment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants due to the incomplete combustion...

  • Quantifying the Effects of Acoustic Coupling on Advanced LIGO

    Creator:
    Banowetz, Katherine
    Abstract:
    The Laser Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is built to observe gravitational waves as they propagate through space. Advanced LIGO is extremely sensitive to movements of the test mass as small as 10⁻²¹ m/√Hz , which allows many signals other than gravitational waves to be detected by the system. Pressure...

  • How the Sun Drives Us: Photovoltaics in the US and Germany

    Creator:
    Hyde, Alison
    Abstract:
    With the realization that traditional means of providing useful energy have formidable environmental and economical repercussions, many counties have begun to explore more benign and sustainable energy sources—renewables. Photovoltaics (PV), a sub-group of renewable energy technologies, convert incident solar radiation into electrical power. Germany, the US and Japan are racing...

  • Detecting ZnS Thin Films on Si Substrates using X-Ray Diffraction

    Creator:
    Howorth, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research is to determine whether x-ray diffraction (XRD) is a viable method for resolving ZnS thin films on Si substrates. The samples are ZnS thin films of thickness between 50nm and 100nm, on Si substrates that are 0.5mm thick. ZnS and Si have nearly identical lattice...
