Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Bacterial inhibition by electrolyzed oxidizing water and application to disinfection of sprout seeds

Creator:: Stan, Silvia D.
Abstract:: Alfalfa sprouts have been implicated in several salmonellosis outbreaks in recent years. Electrolysis of a NaCl solution generates, in the anode side of a two-chamber electrolyzer, acidic electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water which contains Cl₂, HOC1, dissolved oxygen, and it is characterized by a low pH and a high oxidation reduction...

Experimental Investigation of the Transition to Natural Convection in HTGR Applications using the Oregon State SFSETF

Creator:: Fishler, Joshua D.
Abstract:: High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) are positioned to disrupt local and global markets via their unique ability to produce carbon-free process heat, high efficiency power generation, and passively safe operational features. However, significant impediments still exist to delay deployment of this particular technology, including a lack of experimental data, verified...

The effect of dietary compounds on human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene expression mediated through farnesoid X receptor and its potential role in gastrointestinal health

Creator:: Campbell, Yan
Abstract:: The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is a broad spectrum microbicidal agent and modulator of both the innate and adaptive immune system. It is induced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D₃) through activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and primary bile salts through activation of the xenobiotic nuclear receptor farnesoid X...

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

Creator:: Hosseini, Parnian
Abstract:: Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...

Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

Creator:: Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
Abstract:: Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...

Drivers of plant community dynamics in sagebrush steppe ecosystems : cattle grazing, heat and water stress

Creator:: Reisner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Sagebrush steppe ecosystems are one of the most widespread but endangered ecosystems in North America. A diverse array of human-related stressors has gradually compromised these ecosystems' resilience to disturbance and invasion by Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass). The role of the foundational shrub Artemisia as a driver of herbaceous community structure and...

Root initiation and elongation in Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) franco, stem cuttings as related to bud and cambial activity

Creator:: Bhella, Harbans Singh
Abstract:: The relation of bud and cambial activity to root initiation and elongation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stem cuttings was studied through two successive growth cycles. Stem cuttings of current season's growth were taken periodically from field-grown Douglas-fir trees to determine: (1) origin and development of root initials; and...
