  • The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

    Creator:
    Song, Yang
    Abstract:
    Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...

  • Buffering Estuarine Sediments Against Acidification

    Creator:
    Myers, Tristen J.
    Abstract:
    Globally rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have resulted in the increased prevalence of ocean acidification (OA) which has the potential to impact shell-forming organisms. On geologic timescales, the largest contributor to atmospheric CO₂ was volcanoes, counterbalanced by weathering and erosion, but due to increased anthropogenic emissions, these processes alone can no...

  • Acculturation and food : a study of Vietnamese women in Portland, Oregon

    Creator:
    Sarasin, Heather M.
    Abstract:
    This study is intended to provide information about the situation of first-generation Vietnamese women to the IRCO Parent and Child Program Department in Portland, Oregon. Nutrition intervention and food assistance currently offered to Vietnamese women enrolled in this program is the focus of the study. The women interviewed characterize themselves...

  • Carp, Climate, and Water Quality: Applying Systems Modeling to Ecosystem Recovery in Malheur Lake

    Creator:
    Pearson, James B.
    Abstract:
    Shallow lakes exist in either a clear or turbid state, with the clear state characterized by an abundance of aquatic macrophytes, diverse aquatic biota, low water column nutrients and phytoplankton biomass, whereas the turbid state is characterized by the opposite. These two distinct states are maintained by reinforcing (positive) feedback...

  • The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

    Creator:
    Yan, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

  • Fluorescence Spectrometry to Quantify Percent Wood Failure in Adhesive Bonds

    Creator:
    Rueppel, Talbot B.
    Abstract:
    Structural engineered wood manufacturers need a quantitative measurement technique to determine the ratio of wood to adhesive failure in their shear specimens. Visual estimation of percent wood failure has long stood as an extremely subjective quality control approach according to ASTM D5266 – Standard Practice for Estimating the Percentage of...

  • Biophysical basis of macromolecular assembly in the dynein cargo attachment complex

    Creator:
    Hall, Justin Daniel
    Abstract:
    Cytoplasmic dynein is an ATP-dependent, microtubule-based molecular motor involved in the positioning and trafficking of cellular cargo. The cargo binding sub-domain of dynein contains the natively disordered intermediate chain (IC) and the homodimeric light chains (Tctex1, LC8 and LC7). The structure and stoichiometry of this complex, how the light chains...
