Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

Creator:: Crowell, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

A Method to Effectively Measure Sustainability in Non-Profit Organizations

Creator:: Vanlue, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: With the growing importance of sustainability, organizations in the non-profit sector need a way to measure, track, improve, and report their sustainability. Through research in current literature and a survey of practices within local non-profits, it is shown these organizations need a simple, flexible process with stakeholder participation to measure...

Structural and activity characterization of irradiated antimicrobial peptide (WLBU2) for use in blood processing and biomedical applications

Creator:: Cheung, Daniel Y. C.
Abstract:: Sepsis is a life-threatening blood infection which leads to an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory state. In North America alone, sepsis annually afflicts approximately 750,000 individuals and kills 38-50% of these (more than HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and colon cancer combined). Current treatment involves administration of IV fluids, antibiotics and hemoperfusion, requiring prolonged...

Identification of Barriers to Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Martz, Allison M.
Abstract:: The US industrial sector accounts for about one-third of the nation’s energy consumption and is predicted to grow twice as quickly as other sectors through 2050. International organizations such as the International Energy Agency project energy efficiency improvements will account for over 40% of greenhouse gas emissions reductions through 2040....

Developing a membrane leakage assay for the binding of bacterial lipopolysaccharide by the cationic amphiphilic peptide WLBU2

Creator:: Amsberry, Anthony C.
Abstract:: Sepsis, caused by bacterial release of endotoxin, is a serious blood infection that causes uncontrolled systemic immune response. In North America alone, sepsis kills between 220,000 and 380,000 people each year, more than prostate cancer, breast cancer, and HIV/AIDS combined. Sepsis treatment is complicated and often requires prolonged hospital stays,...

Life cycle analysis of mass timber and reinforced concrete three-story structures

Creator:: Brown, David
Abstract:: With growing awareness of the negative impacts of the built environment, solutions for dramatic environmental, economic, and social improvements are sparking in all sectors, especially within the construction industry. The work of this thesis aims to quantify and compare social, economic, and environmental impacts of a three-story mass timber structure...

Effect of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Modification on the Structure and Antimicrobial Activity of the Antimicrobial Peptide WLBU2

Creator:: Raper, Miranda A.
Abstract:: Sepsis is a blood infection that is caused by circulating bacteria cells and cell fragments, which contain immunogenic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or endotoxin. The circulating endotoxin results in a severe dysregulation of the inflammatory response that ultimately leads to organ failure. One promising treatment method is removal of endotoxin by passing...

Avian Community Assembly Following Volcanic Disturbance at Volcán Arenal, Costa Rica and Mount St. Helens, USA

Creator:: Fairchild, Karl C.
Abstract:: Volcanism is an agent of major disturbance in many parts of the world. While the effects of volcanic disturbance are fairly well-known among some groups of species, few studies have been performed in bird communities. Likewise, few studies have attempted to compare how communities in temperate and tropical biomes respond...

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...

Numeric Benchmark Study of Plate Vibration Experiments in Air and Water

Creator:: Britsch, Karl R.
Abstract:: A set of experimental plates were characterized to understand their dynamic response in both air and water; in support of work performed at the Hydro-Mechanical Fuel Test Facility and the Global threat Reduction Initiative. In an attempt to gain further insight into the vibration of the experimental test plates, a...
