Surface-exposed proteins in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis

Creator:: McNamara, Michael J.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a pervasive environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Among the most robust and hardy members of the Mycobacterium genus, M. avium can persist and thrive in a range of challenging environments, including many which place it in direct contact with humans....

Translating the Better Bones and Balance Intervention Program into the community setting: effects of participation on skeletal health, fall risk indicators, and physical activity among older women

Creator:: McNamara, Adrienne J.
Abstract:: Better Bones and Balance (BBB) is a community-based exercise program to improve bone health and reduce fall risk among older adults. Prior research has shown that when the program is delivered by researchers under controlled conditions, participants improved strength and balance, and maintained bone mineral density (BMD) at the hip....

An investigation into the genetic basis of migration timing in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: The genetic basis of adaptation is complex as many fitness-related traits are quantitative and likely influenced by multiple genes with variable effects across different selective environments. One important adaptation for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the time at which individuals return to natal breeding sites within a reproductive season....

Effects of combining of upper and lower body resistance training on lumbar loading

Creator:: Doran, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common and costly public health problem with a high occurrence in older women due to menopausal-onset bone loss. Recent findings suggest that mechanical loading created by upper body resistance training can stimulate bone growth in the lumbar spine, reducing osteoporosis-related bone loss and associated fracture...

Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

Creator:: Harriff, Melanie J.
Abstract:: Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...

Thirty-four Kilometers and Fifteen Years : Rapid Adaptation at a Novel Chromosomal Inversion in Recently Introduced Deschutes River Three-spined Stickleback

Creator:: Hemstrom, William
Abstract:: Rapid adaptation and evolution based on standing genetic variation and novel mutations is likely to be one of the primary ways that species survive the widespread anthropogenic environmental changes expected of the next century. Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) are known to be capable of extremely quick, dramatic adaptation in response...

Visualization and design systems for road infrastructure

Creator:: Esch, Gregory
Abstract:: Transportation infrastructure provides a vital service for the functionality of a city. The efficient design of road networks poses an interesting topic in computer science for digital content developers. For civil engineers, the visualization of analysis results on infrastructure both efficiently and intuitively is crucial. The following contributions are made...

Effects of quinolinate and nitro-, or thio- substituted analogs of quinolinate on glutamate receptor-mediated neurotoxicity in cerebellar granule cell cultures

Creator:: Zhang, Jinying
Abstract:: Quinolinate (QUIN) is an endogenous neurotoxic product of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. Quinolinate is a selective agonist of the NMDA family of glutamate receptors and, as such, may play a role in the pathology of a number of major central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These include both chronic...

The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F.
Abstract:: New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

Differences in Taste Responses between Tongue Regions

Creator:: Colvin, Julie L.
Abstract:: Due to a combination of misinterpretation and misleading illustration, the premise of a “tongue map”, which indicated that sweetness could only be detected at the front of the tongue and bitterness could only be detected on the back, became wide spread. In fact, all taste qualities can be detected on...
