An assay for screening cells for mismatch repair proficiency in vivo

Creator:: Wu, Shiau-Yin
Abstract:: Mismatch repair is one of the mechanisms by which cells ensure genomic stability. Deficiencies in mismatch repair (MMR) increase mutation rates and cancer risks. In the well-characterized methyl-directed Escherichia co/i system, MMR is initiated by MutS, Mut L, and MutH proteins. The single MutS protein and the single MutL protein...

Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

Evaluation of serum amyloid A and haptoglobin as prognostic indicators for horses in a referral population

Creator:: Westerman, Trina L.
Abstract:: Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...

Slotted-bolted friction damper as a seismic energy dissipator in a braced timber frame

Creator:: Tjahyadi, Alfred
Abstract:: Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in timber brace. The research was...

Applications of GnRH immunization in domestic dogs

Creator:: Donovan, Caitlin Elizabeth
Abstract:: Reproductive function in the dog is controlled by feedback mechanisms that involve the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the gonads. Surgical gonad removal, a common procedure performed in dogs for the purposes of sterilization, disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and results in permanently elevated concentrations of gonadotropins. Manipulation of...

Phenotypic analysis of human MLH1 variants for DNA mismatch repair

Creator:: Hippchen, Karen Jean
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionarily conserved process used by cells to decrease mutation rates, thereby increasing genetic stability and reducing cancer risk. Germline mutations in the MMR gene MLH1 have been identified in Lynch Syndrome patients, and in many cases are suspected but not confirmed as causative for...

Alpha-tocopherol is a potential diagnostic indicator of metabolic diseases in early lactation dairy cows, α-tocopherol is a potential diagnostic indicator of metabolic diseases in early lactation dairy cows

Creator:: Qu, Yang
Abstract:: Milk fever (MF), retained placenta (RP), and left displaced abomasum (LDA) are three common and costly metabolic diseases in cows during the first days of lactation. Some studies suggest that circulating concentrations of α-tocopherol (ATOC) are decreased by these three diseases. It is, however, unknown if and how long lower...

Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

Creator:: Schmidt, Christian F. W.
Abstract:: In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...

Red tree voles in fragmented forests

Creator:: Piasecki, Jason T.
Abstract:: The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly associated with old forests, often inhabiting stands over 80 years old, tree voles have also been found in young forests between 20 and 80 years old....

Assessing alternatives for fuel reduction treatment and Pacific marten conservation in the southern Cascades and northern Sierra Nevada

Creator:: Credo, Kevin
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to restore resilience to forests with an elevated risk of stand-replacing fire by using mechanical thinning and prescribed fire. Implementation of these methods can be constrained by mandates to conserve sensitive wildlife species like the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Martens avoid simplified forest stands created by...
