Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

Creator:: Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
Abstract:: Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

The effect of sucrose, aspartame, acesulfame-K and blended aspartame/acesulfame-K on orange and strawberry flavor in model solutions

Creator:: Wiseman, Jennifer Jo
Abstract:: The effect of sweeteners on fruit flavor perception was studied through the use of fruitiness power functions for unsweetened and sweetened model systems. In the first part of the study, two isosweet concentrations of aspartame and sucrose were determined and combined with five concentrations of orange and strawberry flavorants. Fruitiness...

Very high physical activity predicts higher diet quality in healthy young adults, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2005

Creator:: Johnson, Angela K.
Abstract:: Physical inactivity and unhealthful diet are major risk factors for noncommunicable diseases, and strategies worldwide now focus on improving diet and encouraging physical activity (PA). Participation in PA lowers the risk for numerous chronic diseases, while a healthful diet also offers resistance to disease. However, practicing both behaviors offers greater...

Spinal Motor Control Adaptations to Explosive Strength Training

Creator:: Stone, Clara A.
Abstract:: The nervous system has an integral role in rapid torque production of the lower extremity, which is often necessary for proper motor response to a dynamic environment. The nervous system is complex with numerous pathways, including spinal motor control networks, which influence the ability to move. However, few studies have...

Agonistic behavior in three species of Microtus (M. canicaudus, M. oregoni, and M. townsendii)

Creator:: Weil, James Wayne
Abstract:: Agonistic behavior among three species of Microtus live-trapped near Corvallis, Oregon was recorded in order to interpret habitat segregation by the species in areas of syrnpatry. The method used to measure agonistic interaction was similar to that of Colvin (1970). Agonistic behavior was recorded under red light in a neutral...

Evaluation of Materials for Use in Open-Cycle Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation

Creator:: Bowen, Michael S.
Abstract:: Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...

Evaluating balance and strength of older women in exercise programs

Creator:: Dinger, Melanie
Abstract:: Falls are a common problem among older adults, including those who are relatively healthy and living independently. Exercise has been recommended as an intervention to reduce falls by slowing and/or reversing age-related declines in balance, strength, and mobility. However, it remains unclear which types or combinations of programs are most...

The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

Creator:: Kitagawa, Taichi
Abstract:: The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

The SafeD model : incorporating episodic disturbances and heuristic programming into forest management planning for the Applegate River Watershed, southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Graetz, David H.
Abstract:: A hybrid landscape optimization/simulation model called SafeD (Simulation and analysis of forests with episodic Disturbances) was built to address the needs of forest management planning in the Applegate River Watershed, southwestern Oregon (the Apple gate Project). There are two goals of the Applegate Project: 1) search for forest policies and...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....
