  • Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

    Creator:
    Guo, Chunxiao
    Abstract:
    Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

  • The evaluation of heterosis for grain yield, total leaf area and malting quality in 21 spring barley crosses

    Creator:
    Carleton, A. E. (Albert Eugene), 1940-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of heterosis in three complex traits in barley and to investigate the concept of component interaction as a means of producing heterosis. The complex traits were grain yield, total leaf area, and malting quality. Seven varieties of spring barley were...

  • Concurrent remediation for inadequate preparation for the calculus

    Creator:
    Hunt, Howard C.
    Abstract:
    This investigation was designed to determine whether a remediation program concurrent to enrollment in the Calculus could be used to reveal and remedy student deficiencies involving pre-calculus topics, promoting a greater degree of success in the Calculus. The instructional model for the program that was investigated consisted of pretesting the...

  • The effect of heterozygosity on phenotypic stability in spring barley

    Creator:
    Smith, Garry Austin
    Abstract:
    The effect of heterozygosity on the phenotypic stabilities of six morphological plant characteristics was studied in hybrid crosses of two self-pollinated barley species Hordeum vulgare L., emend Lam. and Hordeum distichum L., emend Lam. Experimental material consisting of parents and their F₁ diallel progeny were grown at two field locations...

  • Design, development and optimization of a fluorometric reaction-rate instrument and method of analysis for metal ions

    Creator:
    Wilson, Robert Loren
    Abstract:
    The design, construction and operation of a fluorometric reaction rate instrument is described. The instrument is designed for simple operation with maximum versatility. Advantages and modes of operation of the system are discussed in detail. The instrument is used for the kinetics-based determination of trace levels of Ag and Al....

  • The Application of Machine Learning Techniques on Marine Science Models

    Creator:
    Ellenson, Ashley
    Abstract:
    A variety of stakeholders require information about marine systems. In the open ocean, pilots of marine vessels require knowledge about environmental conditions for safe passage and route planning. On the coastline, communities rely on information about nearshore dynamics to increase safety from coastal hazards such as nearshore pollutants, coastal erosion,...

  • A study of the effect of an answer-until-correct multiple-choice procedure on mathematics achievement

    Creator:
    Thompson, Linda Grace
    Abstract:
    This investigation was designed to investigate the use of an answer-until-correct procedure on multiple-choice quizzes in an independent study mathematics course. This procedure was compared to the standard multiple-choice procedure with respect to student achievement, student anxiety, and test reliability. Using the answer-until-correct procedure students were made immediately aware of...

  • Post-dispersal seed fates in a Western Oregon native prairie

    Creator:
    Clark, Deborah L.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of post-dispersal seed fates and other regeneration characteristics is crucial for predicting abundances and distributions of populations and, ultimately, community species composition and diversity. Seed fate studies, however, are rare primarily due to the difficulty of determining seed fates and causes of mortality. This thesis investigated post-dispersal seed fates...
