  • Optimal design of traction drive continuously variable transmissions

    Creator:
    Lim, Kyoung Ho
    Abstract:
    The optimal design technique for minimum power loss in traction drive continuously variable transmissions is developed. The mathematical model is developed to evaluate the traction force and torque in traction drive contact. Kinematic analysis of general traction drive contact is conducted to find the best configuration for minimum power loss....

  • Cost-efficient management of aquatic invasive species : application to New Zealand mudsnails in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Lim, Youngah
    Abstract:
    By affecting the ecological, pecuniary and aesthetic productivity of ecosystems, invasive species (IS) increase production and management costs to business, while straining public agencies' budgets with monitoring, enforcement and management efforts. Understanding invasion pathways or vectors, and identifying costs and benefits of alternative management strategies are critical to public and...

  • Microcosm studies of bioaugmentation with a butane-utilizing mixed culture : microbial community structure and 1,1-DCE cometabolism

    Creator:
    Lim, Hee Kyung
    Abstract:
    The 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) cometabolic transformation abilities of indigenous and bioaugmented microorganisms were compared in microcosms constructed with groundwater and aquifer solids from the Moffett Field site, CA. Microbial community structure in the microcosms and possible community shifts due to 1,1-DCE transformation stress was evaluated by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism...

  • Long-chain (n-3) PUFA and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    Creator:
    Depner, Christopher Michael
    Abstract:
    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as excess hepatic lipid accumulation, in the absence of excess alcohol consumption and chronic liver disease. NAFLD can range in severity from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is defined as hepatic steatosis with inflammation and hepatic injury and describes...

  • Investigation of cis-acting RNA element role in bovine viral diarrhea virus replication

    Creator:
    Ly, David
    Abstract:
    Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. The BVDV genome is about 12.5 kb long and consists of a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by untranslated regions at the 5' and 3' ends (5'-UTR and 3'- UTR, respectively). To investigate the role of cis-sequences...

  • 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...

  • The Response to Sulforaphane in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cells

    Creator:
    Watson, Gregory
    Abstract:
    Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables and has been under investigation as a cancer chemopreventive agent for over two decades. The compound is well tolerated and has been shown to slow cancer progression in several different pre-clinical models of carcinogenesis, such as of the lung, breast and colon....

  • Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

    Creator:
    Clarke, John D.
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

  • Academic achievement trajectories of adolescents from Mexican and East Asian immigrant families

    Creator:
    Jeong, Yu Jin
    Abstract:
    Academic achievement of adolescent children is directly associated with their success in adulthood. Little is known, however, regarding how adolescents in immigrant families academically grow over time and what factors influence the trajectories. Drawing on the National Educational Longitudinal Survey 1988 (NELS: 88), this study aimed to: 1) identify the...
