  • Design for construction safety : a case study with architect's perceptions

    Creator:
    Christianson, Carl R.
    Abstract:
    Designing for construction safety is a collaborative process that combines the field experience of builders with the design skills of architects to improve construction safety. Research studies have shown that the design of a project is a factor in approximately fifty percent of jobsite deaths. To reduce this problem it...

  • DNA UV damage-related control of ribonucleotide reductase : possible relationship to mutagenesis and the incidence of and attitudes toward skin cancer in several western nations

    Creator:
    Stenberg, John C.
    Abstract:
    Two strains of Escherichia coli were studied to determine the effect of constitutive expression of the SOS DNA damage repair response on the activity of ribonucleotide reductase. Activity of the reductase and cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools were both determined before and after exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation....

  • Distribution and origin of organic matter preserved in modern surface sediments throughout Coastal SE Alaska

    Creator:
    Walinsky, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    Twenty seven modern (top 1-2cm) sediment samples from multicores retrieved from throughout coastal SE Alaska were analyzed for their organic matter content and the source composition. Total organic carbon (TOC) as well as biogenic silica (bioSi), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content were analyzed to evaluate the organic matter content and...

  • Discovery and identification of antibacterial agents for dental use

    Creator:
    Kirkpatrick, Adam G.
    Abstract:
    Dental disease is a very prevalent and costly disease in which the symptoms, not the disease, are currently being treated. The disease is caused by pathogenic oral bacteria, many of which are a part of the Mutans Streptococci. The objective of this thesis was to find a natural substance that...

  • Location of the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Holm, Sarah C.
    Abstract:
    It is commonly accepted that for the analysis of wood beams, the neutral axis coincides with the centroid of the beam. Although this assumption is used in analysis, wood is not an isotropic material, as it has different elastic properties in the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, nor is it...

  • The effects of oil price shocks on U.S. inflation

    Creator:
    Kilfoil, Natasha M.
    Abstract:
    During the 1970’s the United States experienced several periods of high inflation that have been at least partially attributed to positive oil price shocks. The effectiveness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at controlling the price of oil has varied over time, as well as the responsiveness of U.S....

  • Biodiesel in Oregon : an agricultural perspective

    Creator:
    Lahmann, Emily Loren
    Abstract:
    Biodiesel is a renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable diesel fuel made from agricultural feedstocks. With a vibrant agricultural industry, Oregon is positioned to play an important role in the future of this energy source. Limiting factors to widespread biodiesel production include low value of biodiesel feedstock crops, lack of infrastructure, lagging...

  • Investigating the Role of the MutLα Endonuclease

    Creator:
    Mankaney, Gautam Naresh
    Abstract:
    Lynch individuals have a predisposition to developing colorectal and other cancers due to inherited defects in their mismatch repair (MMR) system. Although mutations in MMR have been directly implicated in Lynch Syndrome, the precise mechanism(s) of MMR functions have yet to be elucidated. One essential complex, MutL (a dimer of...

  • Pathogenic Mechanisms of Cancer Causing hMLH1 Mutations

    Creator:
    O'Donnell, Edmond Francis
    Abstract:
    DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionary conserved process that functions to maintain genomic integrity through the correction of mismatches that have escaped proofreading. Mutations in the MMR gene Mlh1 are associated with approximately 50% of all cases of Lynch syndrome, a hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer, through varying and...

  • Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

    Creator:
    Tong, Tony T.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...
