  • Expression of prolactin in feline mammary adenomas and adenocarcinomas

    Creator:
    Trummel, Danielle K.
    Abstract:
    Mammary tumors are the third most common tumor in cats after cutaneous neoplasia and lymphosarcoma. More than 80% of feline mammary tumors are adenocarcinomas, which are similar to human mammary adenocarcinomas in their biologic behavior and histologic characteristics. Despite treatment with radical mastectomy, feline mammary adenocarcinoma is associated with a...

  • 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...

  • In search of ecological advantages : Mycorrhizal facilitation of big huckleberry Vaccinium membranaceum (Doug.)

    Creator:
    Stocking, Peter
    Abstract:
    Temperate evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest support big huckleberries (Vaccinium membranaceum) despite their nutrient impoverished soils. Acquisition of nitrogen and phosphorous are the major nutrients limiting V. membranaceum. The plant’s access to these resources is linked to their mycorrhizal symbiosis. To learn more about the symbionts of eriaceous plants...

  • Metaconversations : ongoing discussions about teaching research writing

    Creator:
    McMillen, Paula S. and Hill, Eric
    Abstract:
    This article is a follow up to an earlier publication that developed the rationale for using conversation as a metaphor to teach research writing. We presented this proposed teaching approach at several conferences, including WILU in May 2005 at Guelph, Canada. The discussions with participants in these presentations validated the...

  • Why teach "Research as a conversation" in freshman composition courses?: A metaphor to help librarians and composition instructors develop a shared model.

    Creator:
    McMillen, Paula S. and Hill, Eric
    Abstract:
    Ongoing discussion between the Oregon State University libraries' instruction program and the English composition program focuses on improving collaboration between our programs and more effectively integrating the research process into the English composition curriculum. The authors, formerly the library instruction coordinator and the Assistant Composition Coordinator, briefly describe a qualitative...

  • Biodiesel in Oregon : an agricultural perspective

    Creator:
    Lahmann, Emily Loren
    Abstract:
    Biodiesel is a renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable diesel fuel made from agricultural feedstocks. With a vibrant agricultural industry, Oregon is positioned to play an important role in the future of this energy source. Limiting factors to widespread biodiesel production include low value of biodiesel feedstock crops, lack of infrastructure, lagging...

  • 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...

  • Asperger’s Syndrome: research and personal insight into characteristics and intervention techniques

    Creator:
    Rinaldi, David Brian
    Abstract:
    Through examination of empirical evidence on individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and related Pervasive Developmental Disorders, the author attempts to provide an overview of the social deficiencies associated with these disorders. Points of primary concern are the social deficiencies in developing competence in experience-sharing and demonstrating empathy, especially in how they...

  • Location of the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Holm, Sarah C.
    Abstract:
    It is commonly accepted that for the analysis of wood beams, the neutral axis coincides with the centroid of the beam. Although this assumption is used in analysis, wood is not an isotropic material, as it has different elastic properties in the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, nor is it...

  • 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...
