  • The effect of prepartum anionic diets on cortisol, adiponectin, and tumour necrosis factor-α expression at varying levels of body mass index in preparturient dairy cows: implications for insulin resistance

    Creator:
    Puntenney, Steven B.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-six Holstein and 18 Jersey multiparous cows in a randomized block design were assigned by calving date and breed to a non-anionic prepartum diet (CTRL) or a treatment diet containing a commercial anionic salt supplement (Animate®). Control and treatment diets were formulated to a dietary anion-cation difference (DCAD) of 21.3...

  • 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...

  • The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

    Creator:
    Schauwecker, Christoph F.
    Abstract:
    New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

  • The experience of alienation for males ages 16 - 19 from high school in the Pacific Northwest : A phenomenological inquiry

    Creator:
    Schulz, Lisa L.
    Abstract:
    This qualitative study examined the experiences and perceptions of males aged 16 – 19 who did not complete a traditional high school diploma program because of feeling alienated from the school system. Five participants described their school experiences from elementary school through the point in high school when they decided...

  • Ultraviolet radiation as an environmental stressor of amphibians

    Creator:
    Bancroft, Betsy A.
    Abstract:
    My thesis explored the effects of and potential mediating mechanisms for an important environmental stressor, ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation. UVB radiation has negative effects on organisms in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. I used meta-analysis to quantify the effects of UVB radiation on a diversity of aquatic organisms (Chapter 2). UVB...

  • Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

    Creator:
    Harriff, Melanie J.
    Abstract:
    Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...

  • An investigation into the genetic basis of migration timing in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

    Creator:
    O'Malley, Kathleen G.
    Abstract:
    The genetic basis of adaptation is complex as many fitness-related traits are quantitative and likely influenced by multiple genes with variable effects across different selective environments. One important adaptation for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the time at which individuals return to natal breeding sites within a reproductive season....

  • Atropisomeric 8,8'-biquinolyl derivatives : synthesis, properties and applications

    Creator:
    Milicevic, Selena D.
    Abstract:
    7,7'-Dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (azaBINOL) was prepared from 7-hydroxyquinoline via N,N-dimethyl O-quinol-7-yl carbamate by directed ortho-metallation followed by FeCl₃-mediated oxidative coupling of the 8-lithioquinoline intermediate. Saponification of the resulting dicarbamate provided crystalline (±)-azaBINOL in 56% overall yield. 6,6'-Bis(dimethylaminocarbonyl)-7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8´-biquinolyl was prepared from the same dicarbamate by a double anionic-Fries rearrangement in 43% yield. 7,7'-Bis(diethylamino-carbonyloxy)-6,6'-diiodo-8,8´-biquinolyl...

    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...
