Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Bacterial inhibition by electrolyzed oxidizing water and application to disinfection of sprout seeds

Creator:: Stan, Silvia D.
Abstract:: Alfalfa sprouts have been implicated in several salmonellosis outbreaks in recent years. Electrolysis of a NaCl solution generates, in the anode side of a two-chamber electrolyzer, acidic electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water which contains Cl₂, HOC1, dissolved oxygen, and it is characterized by a low pH and a high oxidation reduction...

The accessible Chaucer

Creator:: Luepke, Natasha M.
Abstract:: In this thesis I explore the ways in which twenty-first century Americans have access to Geoffrey Chaucer and his works. I look at issues surrounding Chaucer within the canon debate, high school history and literature textbooks, and Chaucer in popular culture, such as in movies like A Knight's Tale. I...

The Clerk’s Tale : literal monstrosities and allegorical problems

Creator:: Brock, Christopher J.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system. The Clerk has situated himself in a precarious position between two major schools of thought in the medieval culture, Franciscan and Dominican; the former promotes the will...

Incorporation of diet information derived from Bayesian stable isotope mixing models into mass-balanced marine ecosystem models : a case study from the Marennes-Oléron Estuary, France

Creator:: Pacella, Stephen Roger
Abstract:: This thesis presents two related studies on the methodology for creating, and subsequently analyzing, an inverse food web model of an intertidal seagrass bed. The first study (Chapter 2) describes, for the first time in the literature, a method for incorporating isotopic information gained from Bayesian mixing models into an...

Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

Experimental Investigation of the Transition to Natural Convection in HTGR Applications using the Oregon State SFSETF

Creator:: Fishler, Joshua D.
Abstract:: High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) are positioned to disrupt local and global markets via their unique ability to produce carbon-free process heat, high efficiency power generation, and passively safe operational features. However, significant impediments still exist to delay deployment of this particular technology, including a lack of experimental data, verified...

The effect of dietary compounds on human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene expression mediated through farnesoid X receptor and its potential role in gastrointestinal health

Creator:: Campbell, Yan
Abstract:: The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is a broad spectrum microbicidal agent and modulator of both the innate and adaptive immune system. It is induced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D₃) through activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and primary bile salts through activation of the xenobiotic nuclear receptor farnesoid X...

A 10 bit algorithmic A/D converter for a biosensor

Creator:: Rengachari, Thirumalai
Abstract:: This thesis presents a novel algorithmic A/D converter to be used in a biosensor. The converter is capable of a conversion rate of 1.5 bits/phase and hence the required conversion time is reduced. The proposed architecture is analyzed for non-ideal effects and compared with existing algorithmic A/D architectures. The converter...

Multi-objective Optimization of Reservoir Operation Under Uncertainty with Robust and Flexible Decision Variables

Creator:: Hosseini, Parnian
Abstract:: Optimization of reservoir operation is involves various competing objectives for a scarce resource (water). To find the optimal operation of reservoirs, it is essential to consider multiple objectives simultaneously. There are various sources of uncertainty associated with the reservoir operation problem that should be considered as well. The overarching goal...
