Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

Creator:: Knowlton, John
Abstract:: The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

The Effect of Protein Nitration on Cell Survival Pathways in Schwann Cells

Creator:: Graumann, Oliver W.
Abstract:: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder caused by the inactivation of the merlin tumor suppressor gene. NF2 patients develop bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) and other nervous system tumors with no effective drug treatment option. In pathological conditions, including NF2, production of the oxidant peroxynitrite leads to protein tyrosine...

Technological Improvements in Ligation and Suturing Techniques: A Comparison in the Material Strength of Ligating Clips and Suturing Devices

Creator:: Robertson, Bria L.
Abstract:: Treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts provides many options, including cellophane banding. These cellophane bands are secured with a ligation clip. Weck® offers two forms of these: the stainless steel Hemoclip, and the polymer Hem-o-lok. This in vitro study compares the mechanical strength of these two of types of clips by...

The Effect of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on Canine Transitional Cell Carcinoma and Its Correlation with Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression

Creator:: Weinman, Marcus Andrew
Abstract:: Canine transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) has been shown to have a substantial inflammatory component. It exhibits genotypic and morphologic elements that resemble its human counterpart. Cyclooxygenases (COX) are key enzymes in the synthesis of proinflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandins. Excess prostaglandin production through cyclooxygenases may promote oncogenesis and progression of...

The Other Side of Marin : A Novella

Creator:: Keating, Jacqueline K.
Abstract:: The Other Side of Marin investigates how the lack of communication between family members can lead to potentially devastating consequences. The novella, set in the 1970s in Northern California, is told from the points of view of Lucy, a middle-aged mother of four, and her teenage son, who for his...

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...

Acupuncture prevents the postpartum reduction in matrix metalloproteinase type-2 concentration and enzyme activity in bovine caruncles

Creator:: Hiebel, Katrina A.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of acupuncture in dairy cows on caruncular matrix metalloproteinase type-2 (MMP2) tissue concentration and enzyme activity at 0, 2, and 4 hours after calving. Immediately after natural calving, a caruncle was obtained from the body of the uterus and flash...

Developing a Qualitative Assessment Instrument to Measure Conceptualization of Oppression and Privilege

Creator:: Johnson, Rachel M.
Abstract:: An understanding of oppression and privilege would improve engineering climates and encourage individuals with marginalized identities to stay engaged in engineering spaces. Currently there are quantitative tools to assess cultural competencies, but none that measure understandings of power relationships. This project aims to create a qualitative assessment instrument to measure...

Exploring Perceptions of Social Responsibility in Engineering Students

Creator:: Jahr, Amy
Abstract:: Incoming and graduating engineering students in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University were surveyed in order to assess awareness and integration of social responsibilities into their emerging professional persona and how those views are informed by program and faculty interactions. Preliminary analysis of responses...

Behooved to Remove: The Trump Administration's Effect on Immigration Judge Decision-Making

Creator:: Cochenour, Tucker J.
Abstract:: It has long been recognized by the legal community that when an immigrant seeks relief from deportation proceedings through the United States’ immigration courts, the proceedings they undertake are best seen as a game of chance depending on the Immigration Judge who is randomly assigned to their case. This thesis...
