  • 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,...

  • A validity study for the kaizen event kick-off survey

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Rebecca M.
    Abstract:
    This study was conducted to support a research project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of the NSF research project was to determine how to design kaizen events that result in both short term and long term performance improvements. One of the tools developed to evaluate the...

  • 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...

  • Generation of proof of concept molecules neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to IL17Cm

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Drew W.
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is one of the first, most important responses of the immune system when presented with infection and is mediated primarily by eicosanoids and cytokines. The goal of this research was to generate monoclonal antibodies against murine IL17C, a poorly characterized cytokine involved in inflammation and linked to inflammatory conditions....

  • Studies on a transgenic approach to decrease gliadin content in wheat

    Creator:
    Bell, Shannon M.
    Abstract:
    Celiac disease, an autoimmune response triggered by the consumption of seed storage proteins of cereals, affects an estimated 1% of the human population. In the case of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the world’s most consumed cereals, alcohol-soluble proteins, the gliadins, have been identified as the allergy-eliciting agents. Previous...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish, sebastes spp., along the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Young, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...

  • 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...
