  • Quantification of Lipoic Acid InducedChanges in Nrf2-Mediated Stress Response

    Creator:
    Hobbs, Helen T.
    Abstract:
    As organisms age they lose the ability to respond to both exogenous and endogenous stresses, therefore placing them at a greater risk for the development of many diseases. The transcription factor Nrf2 is responsible for the induction of many oxidative stress response genes and therefore 3proteins. Additionally, Nrf2-mediated stress response...

  • The role of CYP2E1 and CYP4A in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

    Creator:
    Hawkins, Jenna M.
    Abstract:
    Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is an emerging form of liver disease associated with obesity, type II diabetes and dyslipidemia. As the prevalence of these metabolic conditions increases, so too has the occurrence of NASH in all sectors of the population. The pathology of this disease is similar to its alcoholic form,...

  • Empirical Analysis of Two-Phase Confined Impinging Jet Heat Transfer

    Creator:
    Damiano, Adam P.
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is explored as...

  • Kit Ligand Effect on Growth of Bovine Follicles in Culture and the Effect of Kit Ligand on the Function of Theca Cells

    Creator:
    Jachter, Shaina L.
    Abstract:
    Ovarian steroidogenesis is heavily controlled by the formation and function of the theca cells. A condition known as polycystic ovarian disease in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle is due to abnormal steroidogenesis. Knowing more about theca cell formation and function can aid in gaining further knowledge about polycystic...

  • I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo H.
    Abstract:
    The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

  • An Evaluation of Staffing Needs at the Health Clinic in Maunatlala, Botswana

    Creator:
    Bedge, Sonya S.
    Abstract:
    As part of the Botswana Global Learning Internship Program, a qualitative study was conducted regarding the current staffing conditions at the local village health clinic in Maunatlala, Botswana. This was a month-long project conducted over the summer of 2018. Students from Oregon State University lived in the village of Maunatlala...

  • Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Prostheses

    Creator:
    Thurston, Tegan J.
    Abstract:
    Loss of a limb can severely impact everyday way of life. Prosthetics provide a way to return functionality to the user and improve quality of life. However, most prosthetic systems currently available in the market lack sensory feedback making them comparatively more difficult to use resulting in prosthetic abandonment. Therefore,...

  • Freeze Stage Analysis of an Indirect Freeze Desalination System

    Creator:
    Whitaker, Trevor A.
    Abstract:
    Freeze desalination poses as a potential solution to many of the issues that accompany current desalination methods. The research detailed in this manuscript involves creating and analyzing a numerical model of the freezing operation of an indirect contact freeze-melting (FM) desalination system. In this initial analysis, pure water is frozen...

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...
