  • Analysis of ras gene mutations in rainbow trout tumors

    Creator:
    Chang, Yung-jin
    Abstract:
    For ras gene mutation analysis in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model system, a partial trout ras sequence was identified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two synthetic oligonucleotides based on rat K-ras gene sequence were used as primers for the PCR procedure. A 90 base pair (bp) sequence, referred...

  • Geochemical and helium isotopic variability within the Lau Basin

    Creator:
    Goddard, Charlotte Ives
    Abstract:
    This research incorporates geochemical and helium isotopic analyses of Lau Basin volcanic glasses, along with helium isotopic analyses of water column hydrothermal plumes to better understand the processes that control the formation and evolution of this backarc basin. Lavas newly collected from the four southernmost segments of the Valu Fa...

  • Risk- and Reliability-Based Design Optimization in Offshore Renewable Energy Systems

    Creator:
    Clark, Caitlyn E.
    Abstract:
    Offshore wind and wave energy have the potential to be significant sources of future global electricity production, reduce carbon emissions, decrease dependence on energy importation, and stimulate economic growth in coastal and remote areas. Fixed-foundation and floating offshore wind and wave energy technologies are at different stages of development, but...

  • Coronary heart disease risk factors in premenopausal black women compared to white women

    Creator:
    Gerhard, Glenn T.
    Abstract:
    Background: Premenopausal black women have a 2-3 fold greater rate of coronary heart disease (CHD) than premenopausal white women. The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the reasons for this difference. Methods and Results: We compared CHD risk factors in 100 black and 100 white, healthy premenopausal...
