Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

Creator:: Bauman, Andrew Thomas
Abstract:: Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling/simulation and novel gastric retention formulation

Creator:: Kwon, Hyojong
Abstract:: This dissertation describes formulation of a gastric retention device (GRD) and sustained release (SR) hydrochlorothiazide beads at Oregon State University. Formulation condition and amounts of excipients had significant influence on characteristic of the GRD. The GRD containing SR hydrochlorothiazide beads was employed to assess bioavailability/bioequivalency study in healthy subjects. An...

Beaches, Wine, and Weed: Economic Implications of Land Use Change in Oregon

Creator:: Beasley, W. Jason
Abstract:: The economic analysis of land use decisions provides insight into incentive structures faced by landowners and the impacts of landowner decisions on others. Qualifying and quantifying these incentives and impacts offers insight into the relevant characteristics of decision-making. In turn, this allows the researcher to model and predict land use...

The Deschutes Formation: evidence of extension-enhanced explosivity in the early High Cascades

Creator:: Pitcher, Bradley W.
Abstract:: The eruptive history of the Quaternary Cascades arc has been relatively well characterized. However, much less is known about the frequency and sizes of explosive eruptions produced by earlier stages of the arc. The Late Neogene Deschutes Formation of Central Oregon preserves a remarkable record of heightened pyroclastic activity during...

An Integrated Approach to Gauge the Effects of Global Climate Change on Headwater Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Bury, Gwendolynn W.
Abstract:: Climate change is predicted to affect ecosystems, including systems already stressed by human impacts. One ecosystem that is already highly impacted by human land use is the cold headwater stream system of the Pacific Northwest. One method of assessing the function of an ecosystem is by using an indicator species....

Assessing Apparent Effects on Survival and Movement of Desert Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) Following a Pneumonia Outbreak

Creator:: Dekelaita, Daniella J.
Abstract:: In the western United States, bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) have suffered major die-offs in every state since the mid-1800s, and disease from domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been a primary factor in these events. Beginning in the early 1900s, poly-factorial, poly-microbial pneumonia was identified as a major disease affecting bighorn...

Perceptions of agricultural education teacher preparation programs toward distance education

Creator:: Nelson, Susanne J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to identify if differences existed in perceived barrier factors and perceived attitude factors toward distance education between faculty and administrators in the decision stage and those in the implementation stage of distance education technology adoption. Information was gathered from teaching faculty and program leaders...

NMR studies of CdF₂:Ga and CdF₂:Ga,Y

Creator:: Hilger, Derrick J.
Abstract:: Crystals of CdF₂:In and CdF₂:Ga reduced in a cadmium vapor exhibit unusual metastable properties that can be explained by a "negative U" model. This work uses NMR to investigate this model for CdF₂:Ga and CdF₂:Ga,Y and compare the results to optical measurements. Temperature dependent relaxation measurements were done on ¹¹³Cd...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

Basic and applied studies on Douglas-fir beetle : spatial relationships of infestations, lipids and host habitat, and attraction distances of pheromone-baited traps

Creator:: Dodds, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Three studies on Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonuspseudotsuae, were conducted to investigate its basic and applied biology. Studies included investigations into the spatial relationship of DFB infestations over multiple years and multiple landscapes, relationships between DFB brood adult lipid levels and position of development along the length of tree boles, and...
