  • States' Rights Nationalists: Governors Joseph Brown and Zebulon Vance versus Conscription

    Creator:
    Dickerson, Susannah
    Abstract:
    Confederate governors Joseph Brown and Zebulon Vance have long been considered obstructionists to the Confederate cause through their steadfast commitment to states' rights. States' Rights Nationalists throws in its own interpretation of these two men into the historiographical conversation taken on by well-known Civil War historians like Frank Owsley, Albert...

  • Examining the Human Relevance of a New Mouse Model of ALS and Observations on the Incidence in Human Populations

    Creator:
    Winkenbach, Lindsay
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....

  • Oxidative stress in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : the role of cellular senescence and glutathione

    Creator:
    Beilby, Pamela R.
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by neuromuscular junction decay, motor neuron death, progressive paralysis, and eventually death of the individual, usually by respiratory failure. Oxidative stress is a prominent hallmark of the disease and is often accompanied and exacerbated by mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. This...

  • Mining Temporal Patterns for Prediction: A Mixed-Integer Programming Approach

    Creator:
    Mansourifard, Farzaneh
    Abstract:
    In the past two decades, the advancement in data collection and storage have led to the accumulation of complex datasets. Consequently, various industries have sought data-driven solutions to predict and detect anomalies. Temporal patterns have emerged as potential features in prediction models that could improve the performance of the identification...

  • Measuring protein metal binding via mass spectrometry : copper, zinc superoxide dismutase and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Creator:
    Rhoads, Timothy W.
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Dominantly-inherited mutations to the antioxidant enzyme Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause 3-6% of all ALS cases. The complete mechanism behind the toxicity of mutant SOD1 remains unclear, although significant evidence points to aberrant or...

  • Revealing sequences and modifications of intact proteins using electron fragmentation

    Creator:
    Franklin, Rachel
    Abstract:
    People turn to mass spectrometry to answer some of life’s most important questions. From carbon dating of archeological finds to newborn blood screening tests, mass spectrometry allows us to measure molecules which helps advance our knowledge of life and the world we live in. One area of mass spectrometry that...

  • The detection of superoxide and implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Creator:
    Robinson, Kristine M.
    Abstract:
    Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

  • Vaccine beliefs of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) providers in Oregon

    Creator:
    Bean, Sandra J.
    Abstract:
    Health care providers, including complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practitioners, exert a significant influence on parental pediatric vaccination decisions. Use of CAM therapies is increasing in Oregon. Concomitantly, there has been a decade-long increase in parental vaccine refusal in Oregon, rising from 1 to 5 percent from 2000-2009. For example,...

  • Revenue Stability among Education Service Districts during the Great Recession: A Comparison of Oregon and Washington

    Creator:
    Clark, Joseph Oliver
    Abstract:
    Public education in the United States is fundamental to future economic performance. The attention paid to public education institutions generally revolves around school districts, state education agencies, and the role of the federal government. However, an often overlooked cog is the educational service agency. Known in Oregon and Washington as...

  • Binding of bacterial lipopolysaccharide by the cationic amphiphilic peptide WLBU2 at interfaces

    Creator:
    Ryder, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    Passage of blood through a sorbent device for removal of bacteria and endotoxin by specific binding with immobilized, membrane-active, bactericidal peptides holds promise for treating severe blood infections. Peptide insertion in the target membrane and stable binding is desirable, while membrane disruption and release of degradation products to the circulating...
