Creator:: Fisher, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Laboratories around the world are using the zebrafish model for biomedical research and conducting investigations using morphological, physiological, behavioral, and genomic endpoints. All assays provide information, but physiological and behavioral endpoints or phenotypes are a fast way to understand how an animal is responding to its environment. We investigate the...

Creator:: Younger, Kathryn Genevieve
Abstract:: During the beginning of the postpartum period, 80 to 100% of lactating dairy cows have bacterial contamination within their uteri. Presence of uterine bacteria may contribute to increased number of days open and services per conception within these cows. Expulsion of uterine contamination is crucial for uterine involution and reproductive...

Creator:: Williams, Joshua E.
Abstract:: The Willamette River flows north between the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range of western Oregon within a 29,728-km² basin. The fish community in the geologically young basin consists of 36 native species, but introductions of non-native fishes have added 33 additional species for a total of 69 fish species. During...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: during 2011-2013. Information is ranked by habitat type, p-value significance and then species code

Creator:: Hooven, Louisa Ada
Abstract:: Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) has been determined to be a risk factor for various forms of human cancer. PAH DNA adducts have been shown to cause mutations, but carcinogenesis is also accompanied by alterations in gene expression. Inhibiting individual cytochrome P450s could clarify the interaction...

Full Text:: unwavering support. My appreciation is also extended to Dr. P. Shing Ho, Dr. Christopher K. Mathews, and Dr

Creator:: Mason, Ashley D.
Abstract:: Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical strain into a dielectric displacement, as well as the converse, allowing these materials to be used as sensors, actuators, and transducers. Currently, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the primary material used in these applications. Due to environmental toxicity and safety concerns associated with Pb, development of...

Creator:: Owashi, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass trajectories of a stock by means of a catch time series and five parameters: the instantaneous, per...

Creator:: Greene, Rawley Brandon
Abstract:: Because of its attractive material properties like high hardness, high toughness, and excellent high temperature strength, materials like silicon nitride are becoming more common for use in high performance applications. However, there have been limited studies of the fatigue behavior of small cracks in silicon nitride and other materials toughened...

Creator:: Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
Abstract:: Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...
