Perceived Discrimination and Hypertension: Contextual and Mediating Factors

Creator:: Sims, Kendra D.
Abstract:: Marginalized groups in the United States are often diagnosed with hypertension at younger ages, contributing to their excess burden of cardiovascular disease. These disparities in blood pressure control do not appear to be fully accounted for by individual risk factors, such as health behaviors or genetic differences. Experiences of discrimination...

Phytophthora species and riparian alder tree damage in western Oregon

Creator:: Sims, Laura L.
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora contains some of the most destructive pathogens of forest trees, including the most destructive pathogen of alder in recent times, Phytophthora alni. Alder trees were reported to be suffering from canopy dieback in riparian ecosystems in western Oregon, which prompted a survey of alder health and monitoring...

On Small Heights of Totally p-adic Numbers

Creator:: Stacy, Emerald T.
Abstract:: The height of an algebraic number A is a measure of how arithmetically complicated A is. We say A is totally p-adic if the minimal polynomial of A splits completely over the field of p-adic numbers. In this paper, we investigate what can be said about the smallest nonzero height...

New Applications for Passive Samplers : In-situ Flux and Risk Assessment of Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

Creator:: Tidwell, Lane G.
Abstract:: Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were used to measure air vapor and water dissolved phase concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygenated PAHs (OPAHs) at two different environmentally contaminated sites. Environmental contaminates like PAHs and OPAHs are present in both the atmospheric and aqueous environmental compartments. It is known that...

Validation of Wave Energy Converter Models and the Development of Control Strategies in WEC-Sim

Creator:: So, Ratanak
Abstract:: When the term renewable energy is mentioned in a conversation, wind, solar, and hydro energy typically come to mind. However, there is one major resource that has remained mostly untapped: wave energy. Wind and solar power technologies are well established around the world but they cannot generate electricity all the...

Vegetation changes of communities containing medusahead (Taeniatherum asperum (Sim.) Nevski) following herbicide, grazing, and mowing treatments

Creator:: Turner, Robert Bruce
Abstract:: Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead (Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses. Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...

The ecological and behavioral dynamics of breeding in three sympatric anuran amphibians

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H.
Abstract:: Breeding ecology and behavior were investigated in a field study of three sympatric anuran amphibians in the Oregon Cascade Mountains: the western toad (Bufo boreas), the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) and the Pacific treefrog (Hyla regilla). A comprehensive study of the western toad mating system was conducted at three populations...

Enabling safety-informed design decision making through simulation, reasoning and analysis

Creator:: Jensen, David Charles
Abstract:: While many organizations claim to "put safety first," safety is rarely considered early in the design process when system-level architectural decisions are made. Instead, system design follows an abstraction-to-detail process to first meet functional and then performance requirements. Following this process, safety assurance occurs in the later stages of design...

The metabolic fate of lipoprotein cholesterol in isolated rat liver parenchymal cells

Creator:: Elzoheiry, Azza A.
Abstract:: The metabolic fate of cholesterol delivered to rat hepatocytes by rat plasma lipoproteins was determined. Binding and degradation of rat low and high density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) in rat hepatocytes were studied. ¹²⁵I-labelled LDL and HDL were incubated with cells in the presence of varying concentrations of unlabelled lipoproteins...
