Integration of Amino Acid Sequence and Alphafold2 Structural Predictions for Chlamydia trachomatis Polymorphic Membrane Proteins

Creator:: DeBrine, Abigail
Abstract:: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes diseases of the eye and urogenital tract in humans. It is the cause of the sexual transmitted infection (STI) chlamydia, the most prevalent STI worldwide, and the ocular disease trachoma, the leading cause of infectious blindness. To date there is no...

Testing noninvasive methods for extracting DNA from degraded wildlife scat

Creator:: Tweten, Abigail R.
Abstract:: Genetic sampling is used in many wildlife fields to gather data on populations or individuals. In noninvasive genetic sampling, animals do not need to be captured. DNA can be gathered from hair, scat, or other residue shed into the environment. However, this can result in degraded DNA, so it is...

Development of a Medicinal Infused Hydrogel Patch for the Treatment of Burns and Diabetic Ulcers

Creator:: Griffiths, Abigail E.
Abstract:: Metamix is a mixture of botanical compounds that promote healing and prevent infection for burns and diabetic ulcers. In this thesis, metamix was incorporated into 1.75 weight percent gellan gum hydrogels as a drug delivery method for burned skin. The ideal concentration of metamix was 25% by solution volume for...

Evaluation of firocoxib inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity in alpacas

Creator:: Chadwick, Abigail S.
Abstract:: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to control pain and inflammation, but can have serious adverse effects, including gastrointestinal ulceration. Non-selective NSAIDs inhibit both cyclooxygenase isoforms: COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is primarily responsible for the inflammatory response, while COX-1 is constitutively expressed, representing the dominant source of prostaglandins for gastric...

Characterization of Two Aerobic Bacteria from Canada Goose Microflora by Whole Genome Sequence Analyses

Creator:: Larkin, Abigail M.
Abstract:: The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) monogastric gut is proposed to contain aerobic spore-forming bacteria that produce non-toxin substances that may promote anti-inflammatory immune responses. It is hypothesized that the aerobic bacteria found in samples of Canada goose microflora could have probiotic effects in other avian species or used for commercial...

Systematic Review of Prevalence, Risks, and Cultural Differences of Fractures and Falls Among Hispanic Communities

Creator:: Chitwood, Abigail
Abstract:: In the United States, falls are the leading cause of fractures and accidental death in the elderly; 70% of these fractures are women. Hispanic women account for a large population in the US, however data on falls and fractures for these women is lacking. The purpose of this systematic review...

A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots

Creator:: Bernasconi, Abigail A.
Abstract:: Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of...

Evaluation of ECOSTRESS products for estimation of leaf and grape water stress for Southern Oregon vineyards

Creator:: Swafford Steffensen, Collen
Abstract:: Accurate estimation of water stress in vineyards could prove vital for optimizing irrigation and grape quality in a changing climate. The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on the Space Station (ECOSTRESS) offers potential to remotely sense vineyard water stress but lacks validation against in-field measurements in vineyards. In this study,...

Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

Creator:: Jayawickrama, Clare
Abstract:: Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

The Usefulness of Stable Water Isotopes in Improving Drought Prediction

Creator:: Adams, Logan
Abstract:: Drought represents an import part of natural hydrologic cycles that govern the rate and transportation of water on global and regional scales. (Trenberth, et al. 2015) Agriculturally, drought represents a threat to crop production and can endanger political and economic stability through the loss of resources and the threat of...
