Characterizing Combustible and Electronic Cigarette Use During the Perinatal Period

Creator:: Seifert, Jessica R.
Abstract:: The use of electronic cigarettes (often referred to as vapes or e-cigs) has grown rapidly in the past decade. While these devices may not deliver the same level of carcinogens and toxicants as combustible cigarettes, they can deliver nicotine (a known developmental toxicant) as efficiently. Previous work suggests that, during...

Structural investigations to understand the mechanisms of two proteins involved in sulfur chemistry : SsuE and cysteine dioxygenase

Creator:: Driggers, Camden McCullough
Abstract:: Sulfur is one of the six elements required during the early stages of the evolution of life, and enzymes involved in sulfur transfer and oxidation are increasingly being recognized as potential drug targets for antimicrobials as well as for therapies for cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. Bacteria are able to...

Characterization and Validation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Proteins GmhAGC and NGO1985 as Molecular Targets for Development of Novel Anti-gonorrhea Therapeutic Interventions

Creator:: Wierzbicki, Igor H.
Abstract:: The sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea, caused by the Gram-negative bacterium and obligate human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae, remains a significant health and economic burden worldwide. In the absence of a protective vaccine, antimicrobial agents are the only pharmacological intervention for patients with gonorrhea. However, due to the remarkable ability of gonococcus...

What lies Beneath? Origin and Transition from the Shallow Epithermal Au-Ag Lithocap to Deeper Porphyry Cu Environment: Insights from the Magmatic Hydrothermal Deposits at Yerington, Nevada, and Summitville, Colorado

Creator:: Sepp, Michael D.
Abstract:: Near-surface advanced argillic hydrothermal alteration zones, also referred to as lithocaps, are characterized by quartz, alunite, clays (pyrophyllite and kaolinite group minerals), and minor F-bearing aluminosilicates (i.e., topaz, zunyite, diaspore, and APS) that form where water-, SO2-, and HF-rich gas condenses into shallow groundwater, acidifies, and reacts with rocks. The...

Supporting independence : a collective case study of foster alumni in community and technical colleges

Creator:: Forte, Catherine P.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of foster alumni in community and technical colleges, with a focus on Washington State, using a qualitative research approach. Foster alumni may be considered a sub-set of first generation students, yet they have needs that extend beyond those of other...

Analysis of secondary structures in nucleic acid binding proteins and nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of helix propagation and residual motions in proteins

Creator:: Hicks, Joshua M.
Abstract:: This thesis involves analyses of 3₂-helices, a-helices and of the change in residual entropy of a protein upon chemical modification. Part of the long-term goal of understanding the formation, function and stability of proteins requires that all conformations be accurately assigned and structurally understood. By a statistical analysis of 258...

Youth-Caseworker Relationships and Academic Resilience of Youth in Foster Care

Creator:: Jaramillo, Jamie
Abstract:: Academic success is a salient domain of youth development and is related to positive lifelong outcomes among youth in foster care. However, youth in foster care experience compounding adversities, including maltreatment and foster care placement itself, which put them at risk of academic disengagement and underachievement. Despite these adversities, academic...

A framework for the determination of the suitability of undeveloped land in the intermountain west for use as cropland

Creator:: Rathburn, Arthur Cristen
Abstract:: The "Framework for Determining the Suitability of Undeveloped Land for Use as Cropland" is a decision-making format to assist private and governmental agency decision makers in categorizing undeveloped lands, which have been identified as having potential for conversion to cropland, as to their suitability for use as cropland. The Framework...

Structure-property Relationships of Transition Metal Oxides Containing Precious Metals

Creator:: Hapuraja Pathirannehelage, Vidhara H. P.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents a study of structure-property relationships within 3d/4d metal oxides containing precious metals through detailed structure refinements using high-resolution neutron and X-ray diffraction data along with exploration of the resultant properties. Oxides of 4d or 5d transition metals tend to show new topological phases due to significant spin-orbit...

The relationship of selected academic factors to the persistence of general educational development (GED) recipients enrolled in community colleges : an Oregon study

Creator:: Sanders, Karen M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between selected academic factors and the persistence of GED recipients in community colleges in the state of Oregon. With this purpose in mind, the study addressed the following research question: Is there a relationship between selected academic variables and...
