The impact of ownership type on the cost and quality of nursing home care in the United States

Creator:: Rosetti, Maureen C. O'Keeffe
Abstract:: The overall objective of this research was to analyze the effect of ownership status on 1) quality of care delivered, 2) the cost of nursing homes in the United States and 3) wages to Registered Nurses. The model developed here uses a two stage least squares technique to correct for...

Simulated response of ecosystem processes to climate change in northern California and western Nevada

Creator:: McGlinchy, Maureen C.
Abstract:: In order to investigate potential climate impacts on landscape-scale ecosystem processes, I implemented a dynamic general vegetation model (DGVM) over a large domain in northern California and western Nevada on a rectangular grid of ca. 800-meter spatial resolution. I used 100 years of observed, monthly climate and nine future climate...

Modeling cometabolic transformation of a CAH mixture by a butane utilizing culture

Creator:: Mathias, Maureen Anne
Abstract:: The goal of this research was to mathematically simulate the ability of bioaugmented microorganisms to aerobically cometabolize a mixture of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) compounds during in-situ treatment. Parameter values measured from laboratory experiments were applied to the transport model with biotransformation processes included. In laboratory microcosm studies, a butane-grown,...

The effect of a salmon diet on the absorption of dietary cholesterol, plasma lipid levels, and the fecal excretion of neutral steroids and bile acids

Creator:: Lewis, Julie Maureen
Abstract:: The influence of a diet containing salmon flesh and its oil on plasma lipids, cholesterol absorption, as well as fecal neutral and acidic steroid excretion was studied. Two female and four male normolipidemic subjects were fed diets containing approximately 40% of their caloric intake from salmon oil, polyunsaturated vegetable oil...

Response of wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Cerambycidae) to prescribed understory burning in mixed-conifer stands of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Duane, Maureen V.
Abstract:: Prescribed burning is increasingly being used as a management tool to reduce potential fuels on the forest floor and promote stand vigor through removal of dense, crowded vegetation. Because fire affects both the standing vegetation and the amount of downed wood in the ecosystem, it is imperative to examine how...

Preservation of dover sole by low-dose radiation and antimicrobial agents

Creator:: Shiflett, Maureen Adele
Abstract:: The storage life at 43°F of ground dover sole fillets (Microstomas pacificus) was determined microbiologically after treatment with ionizing radiation and antimicrobial agents. Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and the sodium salts of the methyl and propyl esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (MPB and PPB) all approximately doubled the refrigerated storage life...

Axial organ : its potential role in echnoid immunity

Creator:: Larson, Maureen Kupke
Abstract:: The echinoderm axial organ is located centrally, at the meeting point of the animals' "circulatory" systems. This, and its unusual histology, have prompted the implication of a number of different functions for the organ, including circulation, excretion and host defense. None of these have been definitively proven. Claims that starfish...

Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

Creator:: Malone, Brian P.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...

A Paleomagnetic and Environmental Magnetic Record from the Eastern South Pacific Sector of the Southern Ocean (0-1.7 Ma): IODP Site U1543

Creator:: Monito, Lindsey
Abstract:: This research presents a u-channel based study of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM), the laboratory magnetization, Anhysteretic Remanent Magnetization (ARM), and magnetic susceptibility (k), from the upper 100 m of International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 383 Site U1543 in the eastern South Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Alternating...

Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

Creator:: Bell, Jimmy D.
Abstract:: MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...
