  • Architect Perceptions of Current Trends in Wood Construction : A Survey of the United States West Coast

    Creator:
    Conroy, Kendall J.
    Abstract:
    In the last few decades new trends and innovations in wood products have emerged that are changing the way we can use this material in buildings. Additionally, wood is a material that has been touted to have many positive attributes in comparison to nonrenewable construction materials such as steel and...

  • Investigating Multimodal Therapies with Nanotechnology to Engineer Advanced Chemoradiation Platforms

    Creator:
    DuRoss, Allison N.
    Abstract:
    The potential for nanomedicine to reduce toxicity and improve therapeutic response to radiation is vast. Clinically, this potential has thus far only begun to be realized with the recent success of the radioenhancing nanoparticle, NBTXR3 by Nanobiotix. Radioenhancing nanoparticles, however, represent only a small class of nanomaterials that may be...

  • Out of the Mouths of Users : Examining User-Developer Feedback Loops Facilitated by App Stores

    Creator:
    Bailey, Kendall
    Abstract:
    Application Stores, such as the iTunes App Store, give developers access to their users’ complaints and requests in the form of application reviews. However, little is known about how developers are responding to application reviews. Without such knowledge developers, users, Application Stores, and researchers could make incorrect assumptions. To address...

  • Pharmacokinetics of Flunixin in Elephants, Cefovecin in African Lions, and Gamithromycin in Alpacas

    Creator:
    Alshahrani, Sultan M.
    Abstract:
    Foot pathology is a real problem in captive elephants. Osteoarthritis is the major concern among musculoskeletal disorders and foot health problems for elephants in North America zoos with one-­‐half of Elephants in captivity showing foot health care problems in zoos. A higher ratio of captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) is...

  • Simulating the dose enhancement effects of platinum nanoparticles in a spherical geometry with Monte Carlo calculations

    Creator:
    Mathews, Joshua A.
    Abstract:
    Background: The use of high-Z nanoparticles as radiation dose enhancers has been researched thoroughly over the past decade. High-Z nanoparticles introduced to a medium increase the probability of photoelectric absorption. This leads to an increase in the production of short range characteristic and Auger electrons and, thus, local radiation dose....

  • Longitudinal Effects in GafChromic® Film

    Creator:
    Durham, Shannon
    Abstract:
    Radiochromic film dosimetry offers many advantages over standard film that requires wet chemical processing. Radiochromic film offers: a permanent color change upon irradiation; high spatial resolution; a response that is independent of energy, particle type, and angle of incidence; near tissue equivalence; and a wide dosimetric range. However, there are...

  • Inhalable Lipid Nanoparticles for Messenger RNA Therapeutics

    Creator:
    Kim, Jeonghwan
    Abstract:
    Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy has massive potential to treat various genetic disorders by providing effective proteins to the diseased cells and tissues. Its therapeutic applications include protein replacement, genome editing, and immunotherapy. For successful mRNA treatment, mRNA must be delivered to the cytosol of target cells. One of the leading...

  • Non-viral Vectors for Ocular Gene Delivery

    Creator:
    Herrera-Barerra, Marco, F.
    Abstract:
    Nucleic acid therapeutics has cemented itself as one of the most efficacious and robust avenues for treatment of a wide range of diseases from vaccine development to treatment of liver, retina, cancer applications. Non-viral mediated gene delivery using lipid-based nanoparticle (LNP) carriers has proven its compatibility with addressing unexpected, fast...

    Creator:
    Mohamed, Sumeia M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of a transdermal atenolol formulation developed at Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy. The formulation was prepared from carbomer as a gel base with propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, polysorbate 80 and dimethyl-isosorbide (DMI) as mixture of penetration enhancing agents. The effect of the...

  • Natural Products as Pharmacological Tools to probe Mitochondrial and Secretory Function in Cancer Cells

    Creator:
    Wan, Xuemei
    Abstract:
    Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. To date, over 60% of current anticancer drugs were inspired by the discovery of chemical structure from nature, commonly known as a natural product. This work represents the biological characterization of several marine natural product compounds and their...
