Statistical methods for assessing the likelihoods of fault rupture scenarios in earthquakes

Creator:: Tallan, Katherine S.
Abstract:: Earthquake rupture scenarios are important tools for understanding the nature of plate movement and patterns in seismic activity. The creation and assessment of these rupture scenarios rely heavily on geologic reasoning and principles applied to earthquake event data. This reliance introduces a certain amount of subjectivity to the rupture scenario...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Stand Structure of Old Growth Dry Mixed Conifer Forests in the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests

Creator:: Merschel, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Old-growth dry-mixed conifer forests are valued as habitats for late seral forest species, for the ecosystem services and landscape diversity they provide, and for their aesthetic appeal. The structure of these forests has been heavily altered by historic logging of overstory ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir. Additionally, changes in fire regime...

You Can’t Beat the Clock: Oxidative Stress and period Mutants in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Davis, Andrew J.
Abstract:: The free-radical theory of aging proposes that intracellular accumulation of oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is responsible for the process of senescence. ROS are produced during normal aerobic metabolism and have been shown to cause numerous cellular and sub-cellular defects that lead to termination of the cell...
