Catalysis of Biologically Relevant Chlorination Reactions by Nicotine, and Potential Relevance to Tissue Damage

Creator:: Dolan, Brigh G.
Abstract:: This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...

The Advantages of Creating a Board of Directors in a Family Business

Creator:: Vásquez Solórzano, Juan Gabriel
Abstract:: This paper seeks to provide a practical answer to the following question: why create a board of directors in a family business? To achieve this, it summarizes the existing research published in the field of family business governance that directly addresses the beneficial role of the board of directors in...

Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

Creator:: Apreotesi, Mario A.
Abstract:: With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

The effects of marine biodiversity loss on coastal economics

Creator:: McAbery, Emma
Abstract:: The oceans are one of humanity’s greatest resources, providing food, raw materials, livelihoods, and protection. More than 3 billion people around the world rely on marine life as a source of protein as well as their livelihood. Seafood is one of the highest traded commodities globally and many major cities...

Impact of pre-fermentation maceration techniques on yeast populations and color of Pinot noir wine

Creator:: Zook, Molly L.
Abstract:: The quality of red wine is primarily determined by the flavor, aroma, and color. A common wine making technique used to improve these characteristics is the pre-‐fermentation maceration. In this study two pre-fermentation maceration techniques were used, one was a traditional cold soak and the second involved addition of dry...

Stress and Learning in Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Moussaoui, Bushra
Abstract:: In this study, we characterize the behavioral response of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) to the noxious chemical allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), an agonist of the nociceptive TRPA1 ion channel, and utilize AITC as an aversive stimulus in an associative learning paradigm. We find that larvae exposed to AITC in both a...

Phase Separation in Microscale Convective Boiling

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin Terrence
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

Early competitive environments differentially influence stress axis responses in sympatric, ecologically similar songbirds

Creator:: Hardt, Braelei M.
Abstract:: 1. Early competitive environments can shape the development of offspring across taxa. For example, competition for food can have downstream effects on offspring phenotypes and fitness; however, little is known about how early competition influences the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and its potential tradeoff with growth. Because baseline and...

Old Crops in a New World: Bringing Andean Tuber Crops to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reers, Michelle
Abstract:: Though currently relatively unknown outside Latin America, Andean root and tuber crops are rapidly gaining interest elsewhere. Tubers are a major food and important sources of nutrition in South America and have potential in countries outside their center of origin. We conducted a two-part study on oca (Oxalis tuberosa), mashua...
