  • The broad spectrum antiviral compound ST-669 affects vesicular trafficking in Chlamydia-infected cells

    Creator:
    Valiant, William G.
    Abstract:
    Our laboratory is exploring the mechanism of action of a novel broad spectrum antiviral, ST-669. This compound has activity against a variety of different viruses and the obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia. In this study, we explored the effects of ST-669 when the cell cycle of the host cells was altered....

  • Power Grid Modeling Using Graph Theory and Machine Learning Techniques

    Creator:
    Duncan, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Graphs have a wide variety of real-world applications. In the area of social networks, graphs are composed of individuals and their relationships with others. Analysis of social networks led to the discovery of the small-world phenomena, which is also known as six degrees of separation. Our analysis is focused on...

  • A Comparative Analysis of Rodent Species Shows Oxidative Stress Resilience and HSP70 Expression Levels Correlate with Species Longevity

    Creator:
    Sarker, Minhazur R.
    Abstract:
    Researchers of healthy aging have determined trends between a species’ body mass and its maximal life span (MLSP). Actual MLSPs are then compared to predicted MLSPs and reported as a longevity quotient (LQ). Long-lived mammals, such as humans and naked mole rats (NMR), have LQs ranging from 5.0 to 10.0,...

  • Development and Characterization of Multiple Nanopore Systems for Molecular Sensing

    Creator:
    Schmeckpeper, Tyler T.
    Abstract:
    Artificial lipid bilayer technologies are effective models for studying cell membrane properties. Droplet bilayers rely on microfluidics and provide advantages over other bilayer methods due to their compatibility with automated development systems that increase yield while minimizing cost. This paper describes the implementation of bilayer technologies using membrane protein channels...

  • Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

    Creator:
    Rebarchik, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...

  • Effective Signage to Manage Recreation at OSU’s Research Forests

    Creator:
    Walters, Corinne A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on creating effective signage for the Oregon State University College of Forestry Research Forests (OSU Research Forests). The OSU Research Forests are a unique setting because they offer space for research, class field trips, active timber harvest, and public recreation. The public interface requires the management at...

  • A Method to Effectively Measure Sustainability in Non-Profit Organizations

    Creator:
    Vanlue, Mary Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    With the growing importance of sustainability, organizations in the non-profit sector need a way to measure, track, improve, and report their sustainability. Through research in current literature and a survey of practices within local non-profits, it is shown these organizations need a simple, flexible process with stakeholder participation to measure...

  • Occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in volcanically disturbed lentic habitat

    Creator:
    Smith, Sierra L.
    Abstract:
    This study investigates the occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in lentic habitat (lakes and ponds) near Mount St. Helens in Washington, 40 years after the 1980 eruption. At the coarse spatial scale, I surveyed lakes for sign of beaver establishment (lodge or den) across multiple volcanic disturbance zones. At a...

  • Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activation and the Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes

    Creator:
    Newman, Matthew
    Abstract:
    The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is an important regulator of immune responses in various disease models. In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type 1 diabetes, activation of this receptor leads to suppression of the autoimmune response and limits immune cell infiltration of...
