The petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of hotspot seamounts in the North Pacific and arc/backarc volcanism on the northern Antarctic Peninsula

Creator:: Keller, Randall A.
Abstract:: Volcanic rocks from hotspots and island arcs/backarcs typically have enriched trace element and isotopic compositions that contain a contribution from subducted oceanic crust. Isotopic and trace element data suggest that the enriched components in hotspot volcanism are ancient subducted sediment and crust, and the enriched components in arc/backarc volcanism are...

Extending the clinical applications of commercially available optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters

Creator:: Keller, James R.
Abstract:: We present the results of our experiments designed to extend the clinical applications of commercially available Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters. Our initial experiments demonstrate the linear response of the OSL dosimeters for doses under 200 cGy and the non-linear response of the device after 200 cGy. Our experiments show...

Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Development and testing of a sustained release acetaminophen tablet for the treatment of chronic pain in osteoarthritis patients

Creator:: Keller, Carol Ann
Abstract:: Acetaminophen has been safely used for analgesia for many years. Literature suggests that a plasma acetaminophen level of 5μg/ml is necessary to maintain analgesic relief in humans. Current dosing regiments are inconvenient (every 4-6 hours) and do not maintain this minimum plasma level. Simulations were conducted to examine various doses...

Personality and interest assessment of the adult learner with learning disabilities

Creator:: Keller, Linda U.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to determine if there were any relationships between measured personality traits and vocational interests between the Adult Learner with Learning Disabilities (ALLD) and without Learning Disabilities (ALNLD). Instruments utilized to measure personality traits and vocational interests included the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and...

Investigating the Mechanisms for the Effects of Nitrate Treatment on Exercise Performance and Energy Metabolism

Creator:: Keller, Rosa M.
Abstract:: Dietary nitrate (NO3-), consumed primarily from leafy green and root vegetables, lowers blood pressure, improves vascular function and aerobic exercise performance. This performance-enhancing effect of nitrate supplementation is largely attributed to the increased bioavailability of the signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a ubiquitous free radical signaling molecule...

Using rootstocks to manipulate vine physiological performance and mediate changes in fruit and wine composition

Creator:: Sampaio, Tiago Luís Barros
Abstract:: A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...

Volatiles and Geochemical Fingerprinting of Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions from Mid-Ocean Ridge Lavas: Determination of Depth of Crystallization and Melt Composition in the Lower Crust

Creator:: Kotash, Alisa K.
Abstract:: The global mid-ocean ridge system is the largest magmatic system encompassing over 75% of the Earth’s total volcanism. As magmas ascend through the vertically variable oceanic crust, melts begin to crystallize and diversify and subsequently erupt at the surface. The interpretation of these erupted products observed on the seafloor requires...

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...
