Integrating Microfluidics and Integrated Circuits toward a CMOS-Based Cell Counter

Creator:: Bishop, Kevin W.
Abstract:: Cell counting is a key tool used in biological and clinical laboratories, but at present, commercial cell counters are large and expensive. CMOS technology is a promising platform for creating small, low-cost sensors but currently lacks a robust method of directly interfacing these sensors with the microfluidic networks needed for...

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....

Effects of Contemporary Forest Practices on Stream Nutrients, Temperature, and Periphyton in Small Headwater Streams

Creator:: Pimont, Cedric
Abstract:: Forest harvest practices can impact nutrient concentrations and stream temperatures, altering aquatic ecosystems. To better inform future sustainable forest resource management practices, quantifying the impact of current practices on water quality, particularly in headwater streams is important. In this study, I quantified monthly nitrate-nitrite (N) and orthophosphate (P) concentrations, 7-day...

The Effects of Wildfire on Soil Hydraulic Properties in an Appalachian Hardwood Forest

Creator:: Ruud, Danica R.
Abstract:: Wildfires can affect soil physical properties, resulting in changes in infiltration, hillslope runoff, groundwater recharge, and sediment and dissolved nutrients to streams. In November 2016, the Chimney Tops 2 Fire burned 4,617 ha of Appalachian hardwood forest in eastern Tennessee. A portion of the fire burned through a National Ecological...

Kit Ligand Effect on Growth of Bovine Follicles in Culture and the Effect of Kit Ligand on the Function of Theca Cells

Creator:: Jachter, Shaina L.
Abstract:: Ovarian steroidogenesis is heavily controlled by the formation and function of the theca cells. A condition known as polycystic ovarian disease in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle is due to abnormal steroidogenesis. Knowing more about theca cell formation and function can aid in gaining further knowledge about polycystic...

Activation of Co-stimulatory Molecule OX40 Increases Memory T-cell Function and Cytokine Production in Uveitis

Creator:: Hall, Mark
Abstract:: Uveitis is a serious ophthalmological disorder characterized by intraocular infiltration of inflammatory cells. In most cases, uveitis is derived from the adaptive immune response. More specifically, CD4+ T lymphocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of uveitis by recognizing uveitogenic antigen and orchestrating the immune response. While it is...

Locating Radio Signals Using Software Defined Radio

Creator:: Johnson, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Locating sources of radio signals can be useful in many applications. From pointing antennas at nearby radio towers to fox hunting, being able to determine the relative location or direction to a radio transmitter can be very useful. Generally, it is necessary to have the current GPS locations of both...

Assessment of academic advising models in the OSU College of Science based on student and advisor feedback

Creator:: Aljets, Alexandria Dukes
Abstract:: This study sought to explore the differences between the varied academic advising models in the College of Science at Oregon State University through the feedback of its undergraduate students and advisors. Using parallel surveys of students and their academic advisors, it found that the decentralized and centralized models each had...

Permeability of Various Thyroid Hormone Derivatives and Discovery of a Novel Metabolite

Creator:: Kirkemo, Lisa
Abstract:: In this investigation, six different endogenous thyroid hormone derivatives—T₄, T₃, TA₄, TA₃, T₁-Amine, and N-Acetylated T₁-Amine—were tested to gain insight into their permeability coefficients and efflux ratios across a monolayer of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK II) cells. The results indicate that T₃ and T₄ were unable to traverse the membrane...

Characterization of the Ovine Prolactin Promoter

Creator:: Tan, Taralyn
Abstract:: Approximately five to eight percent of domestic rams demonstrate a sexual attraction towards other rams, directing no sexual behaviors towards estrous ewes. It has been observed that these male-oriented rams (MORs) have a greater abundance of prolactin mRNA than female-oriented rams in the medial preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus...
