  • Developing a Green Lab Certification for a Research-Intensive University

    Creator:
    Albright, Sally N.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State laboratories are responsible for a significant portion of the university’s overall resource and energy consumption, and therefore minimizing waste in a sustainable way should be a top priority for the university while aiming for carbon neutrality by 2025. This study addresses major factors that should be considered when...

  • Exploring Learning Assistant Beliefs in the Context of Pedagogical Training and Instructional Practice

    Creator:
    Jeong, Brandon C.
    Abstract:
    Learning assistant (LA) programs are gaining increasing popularity as a means to shift instructional practice in STEM classrooms. In these programs, trained undergraduate students join the instructional team and support student-centered active learning pedagogies. Their professional development is typically supported through a seminar. In facilitating small group collaborative learning, LAs...

  • Novel Predictive Simulation of Organ Perfusion Kinetics for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures

    Creator:
    Johnson, Hill S.
    Abstract:
    Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

  • Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

    Creator:
    Bernert, Ann
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

  • A comparison of three certification systems with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest plan revision

    Creator:
    Starker, Anna
    Abstract:
    This study compares the requirements of three forest certification systems, the Sustainable Forestry Institute (SFI), the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest Plan Revision. The analysis was done with a series of matrices comparing the requirements of SFI and FSC...

  • Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

    Creator:
    Kiff, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

  • Cloning the zebrafish otoferlin b wildtype and a transmembrane mutant to characterize changes in cellular localization

    Creator:
    France, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Otoferlin is a protein that is essential in the process of hearing. Mutations in otoferlin are associated with profound recessive deafness. The long-term goal of the Johnson lab is to understand how otoferlin contributes to hearing and why certain mutations result in deafness. This project sought to characterize the difference...

  • Characterization of Fer1L6 in the mouse C2C12 cell line

    Creator:
    Huegel, Jacob T.
    Abstract:
    Fer1L6 is an uncharacterized member of the ferlin family of proteins, a group of large, calcium sensitive proteins with emerging roles in vesicle trafficking and various disease states. The presence of Fer1L6 has been identified within the C2C12 cell line of mouse skeletal muscle. To determine the protein’s subcellular location...

  • The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

    Creator:
    Asplund, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...

  • Characterization of Fer1L6 lipid binding properties and its expression in cell cycle

    Creator:
    Chau, Trisha J.
    Abstract:
    Ferlins are a family of calcium-sensitive proteins involved in fusion and fission membrane trafficking events. There are six ferlin members: dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L4, Fer1L5, and Fer1L6. Previous research shows the first three ferlins play a pathophysiological role in humans, while the other three remain uncharacterized. Fer1L6 is one of...
