Effect of Milk Supplementation on Bone Development in Pre-Pubertal Pigs

Creator:: Batty, Brandon S.
Abstract:: Bone is much more than a simple, static organ. While its classical functions of mineral storage, organ protection, and locomotion still hold true, further studies into the skeleton have revealed a dynamic system capable of signaling, communication, remodeling, and responding to various stimuli. Overall skeletal health is critically important to...

Characterization of Bloomy Rind Cheese Recipes and the Impact of High Pressure Processing (HPP) on Cheese Quality

Creator:: Batty, Danton K. C.
Abstract:: Bloomy rind cheeses, including Camembert and Brie type cheeses, are highly susceptible to contamination by environmental pathogens during their manufacture and ripening. These cheeses undergo many physiochemical changes during ripening that provides these pathogens with a suitable environment to grow. One example of this change is an increase of pH...

A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

Creator:: Malshe, Harsha A.
Abstract:: Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...

Distribution of juvenile salmonids and stream habitat relative to 15-year-old debris-flow deposits in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kirkby, Kristen-Marie S.
Abstract:: Debris flows, common disturbances in many mountainous areas, initially scour or bury stream habitats; however, debris flows deliver vast amounts of wood, boulders, and gravel that may ultimately form complex stream habitat to potentially support a diverse salmonid assemblage. The materials deposited by debris flows would otherwise be inaccessible to...

Steroids regulate α2,6-sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates in murine uterine epithelium at the time of implantation

Creator:: Gaza-Bulseco, Georgeen S.
Abstract:: Sialic acids are involved in many cellular interactions. They can serve as an adhesion ligand or act as an inhibitor to cellular adhesion by charge repulsion or by masking potential ligands. Although sialic acids are implicated in the process of blastocyst implantation, their expression and regulation in uterine epithelium of...

Landscape features affecting genetic diversity and structure in East African ungulate species

Creator:: Crowhurst, Rachel Selena
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation is a crisis affecting wildlife worldwide. In Tanzania, East Africa, a dramatic and recent (<80 years) expansion in human settlement and agriculture threatens to reduce gene flow among protected areas for many species of large mammals. Wildlife linkages can mitigate population isolation, but linkage designs lacking...

Quantitative trait locus mapping of yield and yield components in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Creator:: Traore, Abdoulaye
Abstract:: Higher grain yield is a key objective in barley (Hordeum vulgare. L) breeding. Despite extensive research on the genetics of yield and its components, selection for yield per se is still the most extensively employed because of negative relationships among components, modest correlations between yield and any particular component, and...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...

Applied nitrogen effects on yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) production in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: DuVal, Alyssa Susan
Abstract:: Nitrogen management recommendations for yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) production in the high rainfall environment of Oregon's Willamette Valley (WV) are not available. The objectives of this investigation were: (i) to determine the effect of applied nitrogen (N) on seed yield and yield components in yellow mustard, and (ii) to...

Spatial distribution and the probability of occurrence of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Alaskan Arctic

Creator:: Romeo, Lucy F.
Abstract:: The known distribution of beluga whales ranges from sub-Arctic to Arctic waters where they migrate in pods in response to environmental factors such as the presence of sea ice and prey. This study uses bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques to measure how environmental covariates are associated with the spatial-temporal distribution...

Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

Creator:: Stewart, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...
