  • Generation of proof of concept molecules neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to IL17Cm

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Drew W.
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is one of the first, most important responses of the immune system when presented with infection and is mediated primarily by eicosanoids and cytokines. The goal of this research was to generate monoclonal antibodies against murine IL17C, a poorly characterized cytokine involved in inflammation and linked to inflammatory conditions....

  • 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...

  • Patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish, sebastes spp., along the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Young, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...

  • Effects of caustic addition on black liquor rheology and thermal characteristics

    Creator:
    Euhus, Daniel D.
    Abstract:
    An important by-product of the kraft pulping process, black liquor is currently used in most pulp mills to produce steam in a recovery boiler. Two important black liquor characteristics are viscosity and burning (firing) characteristics, which determine the operating efficiency of the recovery boiler. Kraft black liquor is a complicated...

  • 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...

  • Investigating the age-related loss of endoplasmic reticulum stress response

    Creator:
    Fallahi, Anahita
    Abstract:
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle in the cell where protein folding and processing occurs, and conditions that negatively affect ER functions are highly detrimental to the cell. The accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER leads to a condition known as ER Stress. The ER has developed...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Cool hideaways: use of temperature refuges by juvenile coho salmon in the West Fork Smith River

    Creator:
    Raskauskas, Nancy
    Abstract:
    The West Fork Smith River, a 69 km2 watershed in the Coast Range of Oregon, is prone to short periods of very high water temperature in mid-summer due to a combination of human and natural influences. In the summers of 2003 and 2004 more than 400 juvenile coho salmon regularly...

  • 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...
