A Comparison of Biofuel Market Potential in Selected Countries

Creator:: Patrick, Rozalyn St. Ann
Abstract:: Global population growth and dependence on traditional energy sources has created an interest in biofuels and other alternatives to traditional energy. The economic disparity between countries raises questions about their ability and willingness to create biofuel markets. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of specific factors...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Hemolysis Potential in a Microfluidic Hemoperfusion Device Designed for Use in Sepsis Treatment

Creator:: Myers, Karl N.
Abstract:: The potential of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet damage was studied for a novel microfluidic hemoperfusion device currently in development at Oregon State University for use in treating sepsis. COMSOL 4.4's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module was used to examine shear rate profiles in laminar, Newtonian blood flow throughout...

A critical analysis of the globalization of English in the U.S. and abroad

Creator:: De Lora, Emily
Abstract:: Although thousands of volunteers from the United States go abroad each year to teach English, many are unprepared for their experiences. Undergraduate students teaching in a foreign country seem to lack training in educational methodology or foreign relations that would prepare them for teaching and living abroad. This project was...

A genomic and proteomic characterization of the first cultured oligotrophic marine Gammaproteobacterium from the SAR92 clade

Creator:: Mellbye, Brett L.
Abstract:: High-throughput culturing (HTC) consisting of extinction culturing in autoclaved seawater has led to the isolation and characterization of many novel strains of oligotrophic marine bacteria. Strain HTCC 2207 was isolated from the Oregon coast by the HTC method. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this strain...

A History of the National Pygmy Goat Association

Creator:: Coneybeer, Jane K.
Abstract:: The National Pygmy Goat Association is a hobby livestock organization founded in 1975. Over the past five decades, it has grown in size and importance, occupying a niche role as the primary breed registry and certification authority for the smallest domestic ruminant. This history attempts to capture the scope of...

A Needs Assessment Survey of Small Farmers in Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley

Creator:: Wever, Erin L.
Abstract:: OSU Extension provides important educational services to members of the agricultural community. Programming options can be guided by needs assessment surveys, which are used to determine gaps in knowledge and understanding for communities. The objective of this study was to develop and execute a survey to gather information on: 1)...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

A proposed method to analyze meso- and microplastic pollution on beaches in Oregon

Creator:: Losh, Sage
Abstract:: Meso- and microplastic debris is becoming a rising coastal issue as more research highlighting the detrimental impacts this material has on marine organisms and the environment is performed. This research, however, continues to be conducted in a non-standardized manner meaning that the data being collected cannot be compared spatially or...
