Ferroelectric thin film development

Creator:: Harman, Taran V.
Abstract:: The long-term goal of the research project initiated with this thesis is the development of lead-free, fully-transparent ferroelectric devices, such as ferroelectric capacitors or ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistors. Ferroelectric materials exhibit spontaneous polarization with the application of an external electric field, which is persistent upon removal of the applied field, and...

Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

Comparisons of fish assemblages and habitat associations in littoral zones of reservoirs in the Willamette Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Bennett, Paul Michael
Abstract:: The littoral zones of seven reservoirs in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon were sampled with a boat electroshocker during the summer months of 1995 and 1996. Shoreline substrates were inventoried before sampling sites were randomly selected. Sampling sites consisted of 9 of 12 possible habitat types including four substrate...

Characterization of solution-based inorganic semiconductor and dielectric materials for inkjet printed electronics

Creator:: Munsee, Craig L.
Abstract:: The long-term goal of this research project is the development of solution-based inorganic dielectric and semiconductor materials for inkjet printed electronics. The main focus of this thesis involves testing of the materials and devices under development. A new solution-based inorganic dielectric material (HfOSO₄), given the name hafsox, is developed and...

Investigating Hop Enzymes

Creator:: Kirkpatrick, Kaylyn R.
Abstract:: According to conventional wisdom, hops are treated in the brewery as biologically inactive ingredients, added to wort or beer primarily as a flavoring agent. In the past, hops were used in relatively small quantities, with the majority of hop additions made to boiling wort. Converse to traditional hopping practices, modern...

"The life of things" : weird realisms in Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads

Creator:: England, Saara Amelia
Abstract:: My thesis explores the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as emblematic of Western philosophy and literature's longstanding preoccupation with the relationship between mind and matter. The poets' attempts to mediate their languages and sensibilities with "real nature" have a complicated legacy for today's readers, as Romantic literature...

Enhancing Search-Based Techniques with Information Control Dependencies

Creator:: Aburas, Ali
Abstract:: Software testing is a very important task during software development and it can be used to improve the quality and reliability of the software system. One potential way to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of software testing is to generate test data automatically. Search-based approaches successfully generate unit...

Investigation of postharvest quality and storability of hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta 'Ananasnaya')

Creator:: Landis Fisk, Connie
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to determine the effects of harvest maturity, packaging, and storage conditions on subsequent fruit quality of Actinidia arguta ‘Ananasnaya’ and to investigate the use of edible coatings to improve fruit quality and storage life. The influences of harvest maturity (6.0, 8.7, 9.1, and 15.1%...

A Comparative Analysis of Rodent Species Shows Oxidative Stress Resilience and HSP70 Expression Levels Correlate with Species Longevity

Creator:: Sarker, Minhazur R.
Abstract:: Researchers of healthy aging have determined trends between a species’ body mass and its maximal life span (MLSP). Actual MLSPs are then compared to predicted MLSPs and reported as a longevity quotient (LQ). Long-lived mammals, such as humans and naked mole rats (NMR), have LQs ranging from 5.0 to 10.0,...

Individual and demographic responses of the gray-tailed Vole (Microtus canicaudus) to an endocrine disruptor

Creator:: Caslin, Tracie M.
Abstract:: In an experimental field study, populations of gray-tailed voles (Microtus canicaudus) were exposed to a commercial formulation of vinclozolin, a fungicide effective for disease control on ornamental plants, turf grasses, and fruits and vegetables. Vinclozolin has been shown in laboratory experiments to behave as an androgen antagonist, impairing the reproductive...
