Language and learning : a case study of a Vietnamese unaccompanied minor in a post secondary setting

Creator:: Davis, Kay Mathews
Abstract:: This study was an ethnographic case study of a Vietnamese unaccompanied minor in a post secondary setting. There were two guiding questions for the study: (1) How does the subject perceive language as it relates to educational experience? (2) What kinds of observable personality, cognitive, or affective factors have contributed...

Vaccinia virus ribonucleotide reductase : gene sequencing, intracellular localization, and interaction with a DNA-binding protein

Creator:: Davis, Ralph Eugene, 1957-
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus infected monkey kidney cells had been previously shown to have an increased ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase (RR) activity. DNA from mutant virus resistant to hydroxyurea were digested with restriction endonucleases and were shown to have substoichiometric amounts of the Hind III F fragment. Additional information from Southern blotting experiments...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

A Regional-Scale Three-Dimensional Susceptibility Model for Enhanced Evaluation of Rainfall- and Seismically-Induced Landsliding

Creator:: Mathews, Nicolas
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are destructive natural hazards that result in widespread losses, both of infrastructure and lives, throughout the world. To help mitigate the impact of landslide hazards, they are commonly characterized across a regional scale by (1) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (2) their magnitude and frequency using...

Mixing Times for Diffusive Lattice-Based Markov Chains

Creator:: Titus, Mathew W.
Abstract:: Markov chains have long been used to sample from probability distributions and simulate dynamical systems. In both cases we would like to know how long it takes for the chain's distribution to converge to within varepsilon of the stationary distribution in total variation distance; the answer to this is, called...

Consumer attitudes toward potentially restrictive energy conservation regulations

Creator:: Merfeld, Michele Kay
Abstract:: A sample of 893 Oregon individuals from a Western Regional Agricultural Experiment Station Project (W-159 "Consequences of Energy Conservation Policies for Western Region Households") was used to analyze consumer attitudes toward potentially restrictive energy conservation regulations. Belief in the seriousness of the energy problem, a psychological measure of internal control...

Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

Creator:: Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
Abstract:: Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...

Bacteriophage T4-coded dihydrofolate reductase : cloning and structural analysis of its gene and organization of flanking regions

Creator:: Purohit, Sarla
Abstract:: The dihydrofolate reductase gene of bacteriophate T4 has been investigated at the structural level to elucide the unusual regulation of expression of this gene and possible evolutionary relationships between the ohage and drug resistance factors-encoded dihydrofolate reductases (DHFR). A 1.1-kilobase-pair restriction fragment of the T4 multiple mutant dec8 containing frd,...

Vaccinia virus ribonucleotide reductase : regulation of the gene products and characterization of the recombinant small subunit protein

Creator:: Howell, Meredith L.
Abstract:: Ribonucleotide reductase is a remarkable enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the 2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates. The intent of this project was to characterize the ribonucleotide reductase encoded by the orthopoxvirus, vaccinia. The first objective was to study the structural and functional features of the viral small subunit...

Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

Creator:: Aboufazeli, Mahtab
Abstract:: Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...
