Quantum dots-fullerene based molecular beacons for highly sensitive DNA detection

Creator:: Liu, Ye
Abstract:: We demonstrated a low-cost and high-sensitivity DNA detection method using quantum dot-fullerene based molecular beacons (MBs) and magnetic nanoparticles. The MB tethered magnetic nanoparticles can be well dispersed in analytes for efficient DNA capture and concentrated by an external magnetic field for enhanced fluorescence signal detection. The detection requires only...

Nanostructured Optical Devices for Biosensing Applications

Creator:: Chalishazar, Vishvas
Abstract:: We demonstrated a sensitive biosensor based on plasmonic metal composite nanostructures. The device can be fabricated and duplicated with ease using a novel nanoprinting technology which allows precise transfer of metal nanostructures without complicated lithography processes. The design featured by its unique material composition and sub-wavelength structures maximizes the exposure...

Improved interfacial adhesion in wood-plastic composites : Development of new compatibilizers

Creator:: Zhang, Cheng
Abstract:: In wood-plastic composites (WPCs) a compatibilizer is often used to improve the interfacial adhesion between the hydrophilic wood filler and the hydrophobic plastic matrix. At present, while the basic concepts of compatibilization are understood, the optimized chemical structures of an effective compatibilizer, including the ideal structures of the wood-binding domain...

Electrical Conductivity in Mixed-Species Biofilms for Enhancing Energy Generation in Anaerobic Microbial Systems

Creator:: Li, Cheng
Abstract:: Further enhancement of energy generation is desired for practical application of anaerobic microbial systems such as microbial fuel cells (MFC) and anaerobic digesters (AD). A possible approach is to enhance the ability of microbial communities to transfer electron extracellularly in the form of electrical current. Critical to perform direct extracellular...

Essays on nursery labor, sales contracts, and price discovery

Creator:: Li, Cheng
Abstract:: Oregon's nursery and greenhouse industry has ranked the first in the State's agricultural for 18 years. The majority of nursery sales from the Pacific Northwest come from Oregon. Due to data limitations, empirical study of the Oregon nursery industry is rare. The present dissertation consists of three essays that analyze...

Commercial application of high pressure processing for inactivating Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Ma, Lei
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic pathogen that occurs naturally in coastal and estuarine environments. This human pathogen is frequently isolated from a variety of seafood, particular oysters, and is the leading cause of gastroenteritis associated with seafood consumption. Several outbreaks of V. parahaemolyticus infections linked to consumption of raw...

Low-temperature depuration and low-temperature high hydrostatic pressure processing as post-harvest interventions for diminishing Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination in oysters

Creator:: Phuvasate, Sureerat
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis associated with consumption of seafood, particularly raw oysters. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 45,000 cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection occur each year in the U.S. A recent CDC report revealed that the incidence of...

Survival of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus in raw yellowfin tuna during refrigerated and frozen storage

Creator:: Mou, Jing
Abstract:: The consumption of seafood in the United States has increased rapidly in recent years due to high quality protein and health benefits of seafood. Seafood can be a carrier for bacteria normally distributed in the marine environment and, in some cases, can be contaminated by human pathogens. Therefore, there is...

Application of probiotics and green tea extract in post-harvest processes of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) for reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus and extending shelf life

Creator:: Xi, Dunyu
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a human pathogen which is prevalent in marine environment. Consumption of raw or undercooked seafood contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus can cause foodborne illness. This study investigated the application of probiotics in depuration for reducing V. parahaemolyticus in raw Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and the utilization of green...

Local scour at isolated obstacles on river beds

Creator:: Huang, Cheng-Chang
Abstract:: Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes, and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was achieved by a systematic flume study based on the results of dimensional analysis of local scour. The main tested obstacles for local scour were cubes....
