  • Characterization of the Sodium Transporting NADH:Quinone Oxidoreductase (NQR) in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Fassio, Sara R.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a serious diarrheal disease in developing countries. V. cholerae has a unique redox driven respiration-linked sodium pump, Na⁺ translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NQR). Several reports previously showed that NQR plays an important role in virulence, metabolism, and sodium homeostasis of V. cholerae. This...

  • Prevalence of the Haemonchus sp. parasite in Oregon cattle

    Creator:
    Castle, Kayla
    Abstract:
    Haemonchus sp. is known to be present in geographical regions of Oregon that are more arid and warm, which has been the preferred climate of this parasite. However, it was not detected in Western Oregon bovine until recently. Haemonchus sp. was first detected in Western Oregon bovine from a fecal...

  • Role of Na+/H+ Membrane Bioenergetics in Virulence Factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Creator:
    Hoang, Kelli H.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial pathogen that can cause grave and sometimes chronic infections in patients with weakened immune systems and cystic fibrosis. It is suspected that specialized sodium pumps in the cellular membrane are crucial for the organism’s survival and growth, since many cellular processes rely on the maintenance...

  • The Art and Science of Woodturning : A Year in Exploration

    Creator:
    Andersen, Claudia C.
    Abstract:
    Woodturner, artist, and scientist, Claudia Andersen, describes various anatomical features of wood, from the differences between softwoods and hardwoods to the various types of spalting. Over the past year, they have learned and developed their skills in woodturning. In this project, they accompany one woodturned piece with a description of...

  • Developing a Method For Quantitation of Organic Acid Exometabolites Released By Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Grown Under Oral Cavity-like Conditions

    Creator:
    Akmal, Ryaan
    Abstract:
    Tooth decay in the form of dental caries and cavities is estimated to be among the most common health conditions globally, with treatment of these oral diseases resulting in a massive, world-wide economic burden. The cause of this demineralization of teeth is rooted in the action of complex microbial biofilms...

  • Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

    Creator:
    Tong, Tony T.
    Abstract:
    Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

  • Method validation of quantitative analysis of oxylipins in human plasma via mass spectrometry

    Creator:
    Bloom, Madeline B.
    Abstract:
    Oxylipins are a class of bioactive lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) via enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. In order to elucidate their overall biological effects, the knowledge of the entire oxylipin profile is needed as oxylipins can have similar or opposing effects in regard to inflammatory events. Their...

  • A Report on the Goat Industries of Oregon

    Creator:
    Lamphere, Charlotte A.
    Abstract:
    Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated by humans and continue to function as a key source of protein and economic value for many communities. In the sixteenth century, Spanish colonists brought goats to the Americas. Unlike other nations, the United States did not maintain a significant market...

  • Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the leaf- and root-associated microbiomes of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

    Creator:
    Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
    Abstract:
    A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

  • State-of-the-Art Combination Therapies and Nanomedicines for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Creator:
    Fabbi, Meagan C.
    Abstract:
    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive molecular subtype of malignant cells that tends to proliferate quickly and is commonly resistant to traditional chemotherapy leading to relapses in prognosis more frequently than other forms of breast cancer (BCa) [1][2][3]. Current treatment options include surgical resection of cancerous tissue and...
