  • Resource uptake and host tissue chemistry: Implications for competition and disease

    Creator:
    Schumann, Canan B.
    Abstract:
    Maintenance of optimal nutrient supplies is fundamental to the functioning of vertebrate, invertebrate, bacterial and plant physiology. Organisms on this planet compete with each other primarily to fulfill nutritional needs in order to maximize their health, wellbeing, and reproductive success. Here we examine nutrient concentrations in several different grass species...

  • A Nanoparticle Mediated Gene Silencing Approach for the Treatment of Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

    Creator:
    Schumann, Canan B.
    Abstract:
    Ovarian cancer, “the silent killer,” is one of the deadliest gynecological diseases due to delayed diagnosis, leading to a heavily disseminated and aggressive metastatic cancer. Therapeutic options are limited at stages III-IV of ovarian cancer, in which debulking surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy remain the mainstays of intervention. However, these therapeutic...

  • Systemically Delivered Magnetic Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment

    Creator:
    Albarqi, Hassan Ahmad M.
    Abstract:
    Despite advances in treatment, cancer remains among the leading causes of death in the world. Progress in the treatment of metastatic cancers was seen with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however, the major drawbacks of conventional cancer therapies are limited efficacy and severe side effects. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a new...

  • Development of Novel Therapeutic Approach for Ewing’s Sarcoma Treatment

    Creator:
    Sabei, Fahad Yahya
    Abstract:
    Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is the second most highly malignant tumor that arises mainly from bone and surrounding soft tissue of adolescent and young adult patients. Despite the advances in Ewing sarcoma treatment that today include a combination of five chemotherapeutic agents, surgery, and/or radiotherapy, these therapies have demonstrated limited improvement...

  • Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

    Creator:
    Benfield, Cara D.
    Abstract:
    Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

  • Advancing Nanotechnology for Photoacoustic Imaging

    Creator:
    St Lorenz, Anna
    Abstract:
    Curbing overall disease burden with faster intervention requires early stage and accurate diagnostics. Ultrasound (US) provides a safe, nonionizing, inexpensive, and noninvasive imaging modality that has become commonplace in diagnostics. Paired with the relatively new technology of photoacoustic imaging (PAI), optical level resolution becomes feasible with the deeper signal penetration...

  • Evolutionary and Biochemical Studies of C₇-cyclitol Synthases and their Sunscreen Gene Clusters

    Creator:
    Osborn, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Sugar phosphate cyclases (SPCs) are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of many important natural products. SPCs form a unique cyclitol during the early steps in the biosynthesis of many natural products. These natural products include rifamycin, which is chemically modified to rifampicin and used clinically as an antituberculosis drug, and...

  • Oregon biography index

    Creator:
    Brandt, Patricia A. and Guilford, Nancy
    Abstract:
    Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
