Acetylcholine synthesis, storage, degredation and nicotinic receptores in a rat model for space-induced muscle atrophy

Creator:: Royland, Joyce E.
Abstract:: Space flight results in loss of mass and function in skeletal muscle. Data from manned flights and animal biosatellites give evidence of possible changes in neuromuscular interactions. Components at the neuromuscular junction are a potential site of action for this space-induced muscle atrophy. We examined the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor population...

Nasal turbinates and the evolution of mammalian endothermy

Creator:: Hillenius, Willem J.
Abstract:: Although endothermy is one of the most significant evolutionary developments in the vertebrates, its origins among extinct taxa have traditionally been difficult to determine. Endothermy is primarily an attribute of the "soft anatomy," and its key features, such as complex lungs, elevated blood oxygen carrying capacity and mitochondrial density, do...

Transactional analysis applied to a community development issue

Creator:: Manolescu, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal. Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are examined from a processual point of view to determine how these patterns are generated. The community's history and contemporary situation are described....

Ductile fracture of metals under triaxial states of stress

Creator:: Schrems, Karol Krumrey
Abstract:: Silver interlayers between maraging steel base metal were examined to evaluate mechanisms leading to ductile failure in constrained thin metals. The constraint of the maraging steel base metal during uniaxial testing of constrained thin silver results in a large hydrostatic tension component, a small von Mises effective stress, and negligible...

Onset of symbiosis in a cnidarian-dinoflagellate association

Creator:: deBoer, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Scleractinian corals, like many other cnidarians, engage in intracellular symbiosis with dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. This association makes invaluable structural and energetic contributions to the marine environment and to the coral reef ecosystem in particular. While many aspects of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate relationship have been well studied, nothing is...

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...

Identification and characterization of type III effector proteins in plant-associated bacteria

Creator:: Thomas, William J.
Abstract:: Symbioses between microbes and multicellular eukaryotes are found in all biomes, and encompass a spectrum of symbiotic lifestyles that includes parasitism and disease, commensalism, and mutually beneficial interdependent host-microbe relationships. Regardless of outcome, these symbiotic lifestyles are governed by a complex molecular "courtship" between microbe and potential host. This courtship...

Nitrogen management and variety selection for dryland production of hard red winter wheat in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Jepsen, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Proper nitrogen (N) management and variety selection are important for profitable hard red winter (HRW) wheat production in the dryland growing regions of northeastern Oregon. In these dryland systems, N management for grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) is challenging due to climatic and year-to-year variation in production environments....

Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...
