  • Antioxidant Effects of Blackberry Pomace on the Health of Transition Dairy Cows

    Creator:
    Estenson, Kaelyn A.
    Abstract:
    Blackberry pomace (BBP), a byproduct from juice processing, is often disposed of in landfills. We propose BBP as an antioxidant-rich feed supplement for transition dairy cows. To explore the effects of BBP on antioxidant status, 24 multiparous dairy cows (5 Holstein and 19 Jersey) were assigned randomly to one of...

  • Design and Implementation of a Wearable Walking Navigation Assistance System for the Vision Impaired

    Creator:
    Sylwester, Sean T.
    Abstract:
    Few navigation-assistance technologies for vision impaired individuals are practical due to inhibiting factors such as cost, comfort, convenience, and overall usefulness of the assistance. This thesis will present the design and implementation of a navigation assistance system intended to address these concerns. The presented system improves on existing technologies by...

  • Hydrogen for Heat: Utilizing Hydrogen for Long-Term Energy Storage in Northern Climates

    Creator:
    Villaverde, Gertrude
    Abstract:
    A long-term energy storage technology is necessary to utilize Oregon’s curtailed renewable energy, an issue the state faces, even with a low percentage of renewable energy in the energy mix. This report proposes a system design that details how hydrogen power-to-gas technology can be used in conjunction with the existing...

  • Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

    Creator:
    Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
    Abstract:
    Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

  • Effects of Xanthohumol on Biomarkers of Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Rats

    Creator:
    Moreno Luna, Arlyn Y.
    Abstract:
    Flavonoids are a large family of compounds synthesized by plants that have a common chemical structure. It is believed that the health effects of fruits and vegetables are primarily due to dietary flavonoids content. Current research indicates that dietary flavonoids show promise for mitigating and/or preventing chronic conditions associated with...

  • The Effects of the Immunity Factor Relish on Aging Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Kumar, Nandita
    Abstract:
    Aging is a complex biological phenomenon that alters many different physiological processes. Although many age-related phenotypes, such as neurodegeneration, weakening circadian rhythms, and inflammaging, are well-studied, the links between them are not. To elucidate these links we created an inflammation-like state in Drosophila melanogaster by overexpressing Relish (Rel), an NFκB...

  • Activation and Nuclear Translocation of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 by the MAP Kinase Family

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Ngan H.
    Abstract:
    Eukaryotic cells have developed elaborate biochemical processes to counteract oxidative stress, electrophiles, or carcinogens due to environmental insults. One of these important cellular defense mechanisms is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 that have been shown to have decrease activity with age. While the process of which Nrf2 is involved...
