The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

Investigating the basis of substrate specificity in butane monooxygenase and chlorinated ethene toxicity in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Halsey, Kimberly H.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas butanovora, Mycobacterium vaccae, and Nocardioides sp. CF8 utilize distinctly different butane monooxygenases (BMOs) to initiate degradation of recalcitrant chlorinated ethenes (CEs) that pollute aquifers and soils. BMO-dependent degradation of CEs such as trichloroethylene (TCE) can lead to cellular toxicities. The type and severity of TCE transformation-dependent damage can have...

Likelihood analysis of the multivariate ordinal probit model for repeated and spatial ordered categorical responses

Creator:: Li, Yonghai
Abstract:: This dissertation is about the likelihood analysis of ordered categorical responses in a longitudinal/spatial study, meaning regression-like analysis when the response variable is categorical with ordered categories, and is measured repeatedly over time or space on the experimental or sampling units. Particular attention is given to the multivariate ordinal probit...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Mathematical problem solving processes of Thai gifted students

Creator:: Pativisan, Supattra
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the problem solving processes of Thai gifted students when they solved non-routine mathematical problems. The research questions guiding the study were: (1) What is the nature of the problem solving processes that Thai gifted students use as they engage in solving non-routine...

The development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy

Creator:: Harrington, Rachel A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to document the development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy as they learned to teach mathematics with technology during their initial licensure program. The study investigated the pre-service teachers' learning using both a social and a psychological perspective of teacher learning. Two research questions...

The heart of leadership : An autoethnographic study of issues that impact educational leadership

Creator:: Prince, Erin K.
Abstract:: This autoethnography explores issues that impact educational leadership by examining individual reflections, perceptions, and responses developed through the lens of a principal of two elementary schools. The main data source involves journal entries collected over a period of one year. Theories of educational leadership styles and effective school practices form...

Regression calibration and maximum likelihood inference for measurement error models

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: Regression calibration inference seeks to estimate regression models with measurement error in explanatory variables by replacing the mismeasured variable by its conditional expectation, given a surrogate variable, in an estimation procedure that would have been used if the true variable were available. This study examines the effect of the uncertainty...

The Biology and ecology of weeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia distans) and Nuttall’s alkaligrass (Puccinellia nuttalliana)

Creator:: Tarasoff, Catherine
Abstract:: Weeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia distans) and Nuttall’s alkaligrass (Puccinellia nuttalliana) infest Kentucky bluegrass seed fields of eastern Oregon. Weeping alkaligrass is an introduced species from Eurasia, whereas Nuttall’s alkaligrass is native to semi arid environments of western North America. These species are often referred to collectively as ‘alkaligrass’; however, for farmers...
