  • The Signaling Role of Divalent Cations in Clostridium perfringens Spore Germination

    Creator:
    Almatrafi, Roua
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium that leads to a broad range of diseases in humans and animals [23, 27, 50]. Among seven C. perfringens types (type A-G), type F is known to be the most common bacteria that is responsible for causing human food-borne disease outbreaks...

  • Thermal hydraulic analysis of the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor using RELAP5-3D

    Creator:
    Marcum, Wade R.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has recently conducted a complete core conversion analysis as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Pprogram. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate natural circulation flow rates, coolant temperatures and fuel temperatures as a function of core power for both...

  • Clostridium perfringens spores : inactivation, germination, and formation

    Creator:
    Udompijitkul, Pathima
    Abstract:
    The enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens type A isolates are responsible for the third most common foodborne illness in the United States and can also cause non-foodborne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as antibiotic- associated and sporadic diarrheas. Three important factors contribute to the ability of C. perfringens to cause GI diseases,...

  • Molecular investigation of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the identification of genes differentially expressed during bleaching in the coral Montipora capitata

    Creator:
    Hauck, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...

  • Biochemical and physical factors affecting fish ball

    Creator:
    Kok, Tiong Ngei, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Fish ball is an extruded surimi-based product that is popular among Asian communities. In the manufacturing of fish ball, optimum floatation is extremely important for maximal production. Factors affecting floatation of fish ball in water were investigated. The density of threadfin bream surimi paste significantly decreased (P<O.05) as moisture content...

  • Inactivation Strategy for Clostridium perfringens Spores Adhered onto Stainless Steel Surfaces

    Creator:
    Alzubeidi, Yasmeen S.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming pathogenic bacterium that causes a variety of diseases in human and animals. C. perfringens type A isolates produce enterotoxin (CPE) causing food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) diseases including antibiotic-associated diarrhea and sporadic diarrhea. C. perfringens type A food poisoning currently ranks as...

  • Comprehensive Characterization of Motion of a Helical Coil Due to Flow Induced Vibration

    Creator:
    Harmon, Paul L.
    Abstract:
    Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...

  • Cytoskeletal regulation in cell motility and invasion

    Creator:
    Jang, Hyo Sang
    Abstract:
    Cell motility and invasion are important for development, immunity, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis. Cells on two dimensional substrates migrate in three steps: protrusion of the front end, translocation of the cell body, and retraction of the rear end. For cells to migrate efficiently, these steps need to be...

  • Direct patterning of solution deposited metal oxides

    Creator:
    Stowers, Jason K.
    Abstract:
    Patterning of metal oxides typically involves a multi step process, involving depositing a resist, patterning that resist with some form of lithography, etching the oxide through the resist, and finally removing. This process can be simplified if the resist is removed and replaced with a metal oxide that can be...

  • Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

    Creator:
    Lavalleur, Heather J.
    Abstract:
    With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...
