Distribution and origin of organic matter preserved in modern surface sediments throughout Coastal SE Alaska

Creator:: Walinsky, Sarah E.
Abstract:: Twenty seven modern (top 1-2cm) sediment samples from multicores retrieved from throughout coastal SE Alaska were analyzed for their organic matter content and the source composition. Total organic carbon (TOC) as well as biogenic silica (bioSi), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content were analyzed to evaluate the organic matter content and...

The possibility of international agreements concerning genetically modified organisms in the European Union

Creator:: Fairbrother, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: As genetically modified products come under greater production, tensions surrounding the potential benefits and harms of the technology have appeared in divergent policy between the European Union (EU) and certain member states. The purpose of this thesis is to consider whether some type of international law, also called an environmental...

The role of CYP2E1 and CYP4A in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Creator:: Hawkins, Jenna M.
Abstract:: Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is an emerging form of liver disease associated with obesity, type II diabetes and dyslipidemia. As the prevalence of these metabolic conditions increases, so too has the occurrence of NASH in all sectors of the population. The pathology of this disease is similar to its alcoholic form,...

Effects of caustic addition on black liquor rheology and thermal characteristics

Creator:: Euhus, Daniel D.
Abstract:: An important by-product of the kraft pulping process, black liquor is currently used in most pulp mills to produce steam in a recovery boiler. Two important black liquor characteristics are viscosity and burning (firing) characteristics, which determine the operating efficiency of the recovery boiler. Kraft black liquor is a complicated...

Investigation of the roles of viral proteinases in the vaccinia virus life cycle

Creator:: Page, Jessica M.
Abstract:: An inducible, mutant virus, designated vvtetO:I7L/G1L, was used to study the morphogenic proteolysis step of the vaccinia virus life cycle. The vvtetO:I7L/G1L controlled the expression of two genes, I7L, a cysteine proteinase, and G1L, a putative metalloproteinase. These proteins are involved in the maturation of viral core proteins, p4a, p4b,...

Exploring phylogeny of Rhodococcus fascians isolates using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis

Creator:: Sandberg, Eva Song
Abstract:: Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

DNA UV damage-related control of ribonucleotide reductase : possible relationship to mutagenesis and the incidence of and attitudes toward skin cancer in several western nations

Creator:: Stenberg, John C.
Abstract:: Two strains of Escherichia coli were studied to determine the effect of constitutive expression of the SOS DNA damage repair response on the activity of ribonucleotide reductase. Activity of the reductase and cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools were both determined before and after exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation....

Pathogenic Mechanisms of Cancer Causing hMLH1 Mutations

Creator:: O'Donnell, Edmond Francis
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionary conserved process that functions to maintain genomic integrity through the correction of mismatches that have escaped proofreading. Mutations in the MMR gene Mlh1 are associated with approximately 50% of all cases of Lynch syndrome, a hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer, through varying and...

A Java implementation of the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm using NIST curves over GF(p)

Creator:: Stadick, Rhea
Abstract:: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a public key cryptosystem used for creation and verification of digital signatures in electronic documents. In this thesis, we created a Java applet that provides the functionality of the ECDSA using all of the NIST elliptic curves over GF(p). This applet was...

Discovery and identification of antibacterial agents for dental use

Creator:: Kirkpatrick, Adam G.
Abstract:: Dental disease is a very prevalent and costly disease in which the symptoms, not the disease, are currently being treated. The disease is caused by pathogenic oral bacteria, many of which are a part of the Mutans Streptococci. The objective of this thesis was to find a natural substance that...
