An Exploration Into The Ever-changing Expanse of Non-periodic Tilings

Creator:: Tassin, Ian
Abstract:: This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

A Novel Approach to the Biochemical Analysis of Variants in the Essential DNA Mismatch Repair Protein MLH1

Creator:: Nguyen, Andrew
Abstract:: Genomic integrity is crucial for the viability and function of a cell. One key pathway that acts to maintain genomic integrity is DNA mismatch repair (MMR). MMR acts to correct base pair mismatches hat have escaped proofreading during DNA replication. The process of MMR is dependent on the protein heterodimer...

Effect of Fire Severity on Forest Development in a Mature Douglas-fir Forest in Western Oregon

Creator:: Hidzick, Maxim S.
Abstract:: Wildfires can create alternative pathways for forest development, and wildfires have expanded in size, frequency, intensity, and severity across the western United States. The purpose of this paper is to compare forest development of a mature Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon across fire severities. Postburn field measurements were collected in...

Creating Test Baking Methods Specifically for Whole-Wheat Sourdough Breads, In the Context of Local Grain Economies

Creator:: Jansen, Victoria E.
Abstract:: Recently local grains have become an area of economic growth. Local grain products, including whole-wheat and sourdough products, are increasingly in demand for their health benefits, unique flavor profiles, and association with local food movements. These local grain economies are beginning to boom, but they lack the technical aid that...

DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

Creator:: Kernan, Casey P.
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...

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...

Mismatch Repair-Dependent Cellular Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: An Investigation of Research Methods and Materials

Creator:: Wickramanayake, Anneka
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic chemical compounds found in the environment, largely as a result of partial combustion of organic compounds. PAHs are present in the atmosphere in populated cities worldwide. Because of the health risks they create, PAHs are a global health concern. PAHs are introduced into the...

Das virtual capital : an economic perspective on playing online games : Fantastic scarcity and Real-market trades

Creator:: Dodson, Eric
Abstract:: Massively multiplayer role-playing games (MMORPG) are becoming a popular leisure activity world-wide. MMORPG players have created a new kind of market, one for virtual possessions. Some players will buy and sell virtual goods for real-world money. Many game developers oppose this real-market trade because it threatens the control of their...

Preserving the Planar Dynamics of a CompliantBipedal Robot with a Yaw-Stabilizing Foot Design

Creator:: Abate, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The ATRIAS agile humanoid robot, along with a number of other spring-mass walking machines, currently have two instabilities: one resulting from inertial forces on the torso which cause the robot to spin like a top, and another resulting from stiff ground collisions which cause chattering of the point-contact toes. This...

Investigating synergistic effects of climate and land-use change on the pollination of a tropical plant, Heliconia tortuosa

Creator:: Dowd, Claire E.
Abstract:: Loss of biodiversity due to the effects of climate and land-use change may have implications for pollination services. Disruption to phenological synchronicity or a reduction in the overlap in species distributions of plants and their pollinators may reduce floral resources to pollinators, forcing them to move farther distances. If pollinators...
