  • Calpain 2 Cleavage of Akt in Glioblastoma Multiforme

    Creator:
    Zhang, Justin
    Abstract:
    Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor that has extremely poor prognoses with a 5 year survival rate of less than 5%. The low survival rates of glioblastoma patients is attributed to glioblastoma cells being extremely resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy as well as being very invasive. We previously identified calpain...

  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

  • Real-time Speech Workload Estimation

    Creator:
    Fortune, Julian D.
    Abstract:
    Demanding task environments (e.g., supervising a remotely piloted aircraft) require performing tasks quickly and accurately; however, periods of low and high operator workload can decrease task performance. Intelligent modulation of the system’s demands and interaction modality in response to changes in operator workload state may increase performance by avoiding undesirable...

  • The Genetic Diversity of Salukis in the United States

    Creator:
    Van Why, Savannah L.
    Abstract:
    Many domesticated animals, especially dogs, are selectively bred within a small population to select for and “fix” certain traits. This leads to decreasing genetic diversity and the potential for inherited health issues over time. The Saluki is a relatively rare breed of dog in the U.S. The Society for the...

  • Quantification of fibrinogen adsorption to nisin-loaded polyethylene oxide layers

    Creator:
    Auxier, Julie A.
    Abstract:
    Antimicrobial coatings used to reduce the risk of infection caused by tissue-contacting medical devices must address specific biocompatibility requirements including prevention of thrombosis and rise of bacterial resistance. An antimicrobial-loaded poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) coating has been tentatively shown to be non-fouling with sustained antimicrobial activity. However, the presence of the antimicrobial,...

  • Comparative lipid profiling of human stratum corneum between atopic dermatitis and healthy subjects

    Creator:
    Stewart, Shelby L.
    Abstract:
    Dermatological issues are a widespread problem in humans that are often overlooked. In our present study, we have isolated lipids from de-identified epidermal skin tape samples from both Atopic Dermatitis and healthy individuals using a high efficiency one-step extraction method, which were subsequently analyzed using modified Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)....

  • Beyond the attentional blink : An electrophysiological study of processing facial emotional expression

    Creator:
    Stewart, Alicia V.
    Abstract:
    Behavioral studies have observed facial recognition bypass attentional limitations when performed with non-facial recognition tasks (e.g., a digit task). Awh et al. (2004) proposed this was due to multi-channel processing, where non-facial objects utilize a feature-based channel leaving the configural-based channel available for facial processing. We tested this hypothesis using...

  • Streambed scour and redeposition behavior in streambed simulated culverts over an annual period

    Creator:
    Stewart, Anna
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to provide first order observations of bed level changes occurring in streambed simulated culverts throughout an annual period. To accomplish this, 30 culvert sites were selected in Oregon and Washington, and monitored over, at least, a 2 year period. Streambed scour and redeposition data...

  • Application of Spectroscopic Techniques for In-Situ Oxygen Monitoring in Liquid Sodium

    Creator:
    Walton, Seth L.
    Abstract:
    In liquid sodium environments like those proposed for next-generation sodium fast reactors (SFRs), the presence of impurities in the sodium, particularly chemical species containing oxygen, can lead to increased corrosion on sodium-wetted components. It is important to monitor oxygen concentration in the sodium melt, but temperatures of 500 ℃ and...

  • Production and invasion of butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Ream, Julie
    Abstract:
    Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii), an ornamental native to China, is an invasive species in Oregon and many other areas. In Oregon, butterfly bush invades disturbed areas, particularly riparian areas. The Oregon nursery industry has the highest farm-gate value of all agricultural commodities and butterfly bush is a significant plant to...
