Examining the Effects of High Vitamin E Diets on the Rodent Skeleton

Creator:: Kasper, Katherine G.
Abstract:: The primary goal of my study was to evaluate the effects of high dietary vitamin E on the rodent skeleton. The outcomes from my study assess the impact of high intakes of vitamin E and increased concentrations of its metabolite, carboxy ethyl hydroxy chromanol (CEHC), on bone turnover and skeletal...

Timing of Volcanism in Central Oregon: Dating Tam McArthur Rim Volcano

Creator:: Landoni, Katherine G.
Abstract:: The Tam McArthur Rim is a volcanic center located within the Tumalo Volcanic Field (TVF), approximately 25 km west of Bend, OR. The rim comprises of shallowly dipping bedded sequences of intermediate and silicic flows with minor tephra interbedding capped by a rhyodacite dome. Glacial activity has exposed significant portions...

Personality and Binge Drinking: How Personality Risk Factors Affect the Prevalence and Timing of College Binge Drinking

Creator:: Lewis, Katherine A. G.
Abstract:: Through the use of daily online surveys, this study investigated the weekly trends associated with college binge drinking. It also investigated the relationship between personality risk factors and binge drinking. Personality risk factors were assessed using the TCI measures of novelty seeking and harm avoidance, and the ATQ measure of...

Modeling the Visibility Distribution for Respondent-driven Sampling with Application to Population Size Estimation

Creator:: McLaughlin, Katherine R., Johnston, Lisa G., Jakupi, Xhevat, Gexha-Bunjaku, Dafina, Deva, Edona, and Handcock, Mark S.
Abstract:: Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is used throughout the world to estimate prevalence and population size for hidden populations. Although RDS is an effective method for enrolling people from key populations in studies, it relies on a partially unknown sampling mechanism, and thus each individual’s inclusion probability is unknown. Current estimators for...

Event-Level Associations of Marijuana and Heavy Alcohol Use With Intercourse and Condom Use

Creator:: Kerr, David C. R., Washburn, Isaac J., Morris, Mackenzie K., Lewis, Katherine A. G., and Tiberio, Stacey S.
Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: The associations substance use has with sex and condom use among college students appear to be well-documented and of clear public health significance. However, few event-level studies examine marijuana or heavy alcohol use, control for temporal patterns shared among these behaviors, or consider differences by relationship status. METHOD: We...

Using simulations to evaluate Mantel-based methods for assessing landscape resistance to gene flow

Creator:: Zeller, Katherine A., Creech, Tyler G., Millette, Katie L., Crowhurst, Rachel S., Long, Robert A., Wagner, Helene H., Balkenhol, Niko, and Landguth, Erin L.
Abstract:: Mantel-based tests have been the primary analytical methods for understanding how landscape features influence observed spatial genetic structure. Simulation studies examining Mantel-based approaches have highlighted major challenges associated with the use of such tests and fueled debate on when the Mantel test is appropriate for landscape genetics studies. We aim...

Short day transcriptomic programming during induction of dormancy in grapevine

Creator:: Fennell, Anne Y., Schlauch, Karen A., Gouthu, Satyanarayana, Deluc, Laurent G., Khadka, Vedbar, Sreekantan, Lekha, Grimplet, Jerome, Cramer, Grant R., and Mathiason, Katherine L.
Abstract:: Bud dormancy in grapevine is an adaptive strategy for the survival of drought, high and low temperatures and freeze dehydration stress that limit the range of cultivar adaptation. Therefore, development of a comprehensive understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in bud dormancy is needed to promote advances in selection and...

Genetic Polymorphism of Cytochrome P450 4F2, Vitamin E Level and Histological Response in Adults and Children with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Who Participated in PIVENS and TONIC Clinical Trials

Creator:: Athinarayanan, Shaminie, Wei, Rongrong, Zhang, Min, Bai, Shaochun, Traber, Maret G., Yates, Katherine, Cummings, Oscar W., Molleston, Jean, Liu, Wanqing, and Chalasani, Naga
Abstract:: Vitamin E improved liver histology in children and adults with NAFLD who participated in TONIC and PIVENS clinical trials, but with significant inter-individual variability in its efficacy. Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is the major enzyme metabolizing Vit E, with two common genetic variants (V433M, rs2108622 and W12G, rs3093105) found to...

Task-Specific and General Cognitive Effects in Chiari Malformation Type I

Creator:: Allen, Philip A., Houston, James R., Pollock, Joshua W., Buzzelli, Christopher, Li, Xuan, Harrington, A. Katherine, Martin, Bryn A., Loth, Francis, Lien, Mei-Ching, Maleki, Jahangir, and Luciano, Mark G.
Abstract:: Objective Our objective was to use episodic memory and executive function tests to determine whether or not Chiari Malformation Type I (CM) patients experience cognitive dysfunction. Background CM is a neurological syndrome in which the cerebellum descends into the cervical spine causing neural compression, severe headaches, neck pain, and number...

Testing the metabolic theory of ecology

Creator:: Price, Charles A., Weitz, Joshua S., Savage, Van M., Stegen, James, Clarke, Andrew, Coomes, David A., Dodds, Peter S., Etienne, Rampal S., Kerkhoff, Andrew J., McCulloh, Katherine, Niklas, Karl J., Olff, Han, and Swenson, Nathan G.
Abstract:: The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts the effects of body size and temperature on metabolism through considerations of vascular distribution networks and biochemical kinetics. MTE has also been extended to characterise processes from cellular to global levels. MTE has generated both enthusiasm and controversy across a broad range of...
