Life stories of high-risk white females teens : qualitative restrospective interviews with adolescents ten years after participation in a dropout and pregnancy prevention program

Creator:: Shaub, Tamara Lee
Abstract:: High rates and high costs of adolescent pregnancy and school dropout have resulted in the development of many prevention programs; however, little is known about the long-range effectiveness of efforts. Empirical research is needed to document behavioral outcomes over extended periods of time. I interviewed eight young white women who...

Bioinformatics applied to freshwater cyanobacterial blooms and cyanophage

Creator:: Schwartz, Andrew D.
Abstract:: Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms are a nuisance and health threat in the Pacific Northwest. The accepted methods of characterizing these blooms by microscopic cell counts cannot differentiate between toxic and non-toxic strains of the cyanobacterium Microcystis. Also, there is limited understanding of freshwater cyanophage that may control bloom dynamics. In order...

Transformation of Carbon Tetrachloride and Chloroform by Trichloroethene Respiring Anaerobic Mixed Cultures and Supernatant

Creator:: Vickstrom, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Carbon tetrachloride (CT) and chloroform (CF) were transformed in batch reactor experiments conducted with anaerobic dechlorinating cultures and supernatant (ADC+S) harvested from continuous flow reactors. The Evanite (EV-5L) and Victoria/Stanford (VS-5L) cultures capable of respiring trichloroethene (TCE), 1,2-cis-dichloroethene (cDCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) to ethene (ETH) were grown in continuous...

Environmental complex mixtures modify benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-induced carcinogenesis

Creator:: Courter, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Human exposure to the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is through environmental complex mixtures, such as urban dust particulate matter (UDPM) and diesel exhaust (DE), however the potency of these PAH within a mixture is not established. To determine the effect of these mixtures on...

Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

Creator:: Theis, Susan A. F.
Abstract:: Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

A comparison of two methods of divergent mass selection for heading date in two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) crosses

Creator:: Frederickson, Leslie John
Abstract:: Responses to two cycles of mass selection for heading date, followed by selfing or intermating, were studied in two diverse winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) crosses. Selection was bidirectional, resulting in early and late populations for each mating system, cycle, and cross. The influence of mass selection for...

Indole-3-carbinol in the maternal diet provides chemoprotection for the fetus against transplacental carcinogenesis by dibenzo[a,l]pyrene in the B6 129 mouse model : role of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

Creator:: Yu, Zhen
Abstract:: Lymphomas and leukemias are the most common cancer in children and young adults and in utero exposure to carcinogens may contribute to the etiology of these cancers. A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP), was administered to pregnant mice (15 mg/Kg b.w., gavage) on gestation day 17. Significant mortalities in...

Attitudes of nurses toward cancer and the cancer patient

Creator:: Mischke, Karen Blomquist
Abstract:: One forty-item questionnaire (Cancer Nursing Outreach Program Evaluation Tool) and one twenty-item questionnaire (Cancer Attitude Survey) were submitted to a randomly selected population of 200 employed associate, diploma and baccalaureate degree nurses distributed among numerous practice settings in the State of Oregon. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (fixed...

Translation of dengue virus RNA : influence of the untranslated regions on 5´-cap dependent translation and ribosome scanning

Creator:: Chiu, Wei-Wei
Abstract:: In this thesis, I studied the translation of dengue virus RNA using a luciferase reporter gene system in Vero cells. The dengue reporter mRNA construct, which harbors 5´-terminal viral nts and 3´-terminal nts, could be translated efficiently compared to an alpha globin reporter construct. The 5´-cap structure and 3´-untranslated region...

Inhibition of exercise-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and muscle damage by prior supplementation with the antioxidant vitamins E and C

Creator:: Mastaloudis, Angela
Abstract:: To determine if 6 weeks prior supplementation with vitamins E and C could alleviate exercise-induced DNA damage, prevent lipid peroxidation and inflammation, slow the rate of vitamin E utilization and/or attenuate muscle damage, 22 subjects (11 females: 11 males) were studied during a 50 km (32 mile) ultramarathon. Subjects were...
