An Investigation into the Functional Properties of the Deafness Causing Protein Otoferlin

Creator:: Manchanda, Aayushi
Abstract:: Otoferlin is a C2-domain, transmembrane protein whose mutated form is responsible for the DFNB9 subtype of prelingual hearing impairment. Mutations in otoferlin cause an autosomal recessive, non-syndromic form of deafness that is characterized by auditory neuropathy/ auditory dissynchrony (AN/AD), meaning that the outer hair cells (OHCs) are normal, and the...

Essays on the effect of product recalls and mergers on firm performance

Creator:: Yan, Wenfeng
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the effect of endogenous and exogenous events on firm behavior and performance. These are fundamental questions in economics. The contribution of this study is threefold. First, it provides estimates of the impact of mergers on railroad efficiency, which has important antitrust implications. Second, it provides new estimates...

Detecting medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski) using high frequency, sequential, globally positioned digital images

Creator:: Ndzeidze, Stephen Koghan
Abstract:: Invasive plant species are expanding and transforming vegetative communities across Oregon and throughout the United States. Over the past three decades remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies have been integrated to detect and map the distribution of noxious rangeland plants. This study developed low-cost...

Forest Successional and Disturbance Dynamics in the Southern Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, James D.
Abstract:: The application of modern land management practices beginning at the turn of the 20th century is widely believed to have dramatically transformed forest landscapes of the inland Pacific Northwest. Restoring historical conditions to make forests resilient to future climate and disturbance regimes is a major goal of federal forest managers....

The Primary Disease Gradient of Wheat Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Farber, Daniel
Abstract:: Wheat stripe rust (WSR), also called yellow rust of wheat (Tricitum spp.), causal agent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease of major economic importance on wheat, especially grown in temperate locations. WSR causes major losses of wheat yield, estimated at nearly $ 1 billion per year, and...

The impact of child-centered play therapy on anxiety levels in pre-neurosurgical pediatric patients

Creator:: Lerwick, Julie L.
Abstract:: The prevalence of childhood illness requiring hospitalization establishes the need for implementation of an applied intervention to decrease levels of hospitalization-induced anxiety in pediatric patients. In addition to anxiety, levels of perceived trauma have also been linked to pre-operative pediatric patients. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) within the medical setting has...

The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

A study of the photolysis of the aqueous thymine system at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm

Creator:: Satcher, Robert Lee
Abstract:: The photolysis of the aqueous thymine system has been investigated at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm at room temperature. Products of photolysis have been identified as hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxy-5- hydroperoxy thymine and tentatively 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxy thymine. These together with thymine loss, were determined quantitatively under a variety of conditions....

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...
