  • The 2-Hydroxyestrone to 16α-Hydroxyestrone Ratio in Human Urine as a Biomarker of Cancer Chemoprevention Following Exposure to Brussels Sprouts and the Phytochemical, 3,3’-Diindolylmethane (DIM)

    Creator:
    Chen, Danny
    Abstract:
    Estrogen is a sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. They also play a critical role in the development of breast and uterine cancer. The formation of agonistic metabolites of estrogen, especially 16α-hydroxyestrone, have been found to have cancer-inducing effects meanwhile...

    Creator:
    Day, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites (Field 29 and 8N) within William L....

    Creator:
    Briggs, Hannah L.
    Abstract:
    Since the mid-nineteenth century, different waves of feminism have shaped a more fair, equitable world for women. Today, the fourth wave of feminism brings about a new initiative that focuses on menstruation. This traditionally taboo topic has formed failing policies that neglect the care, empowerment, and importance of women’s bodies,...

    Creator:
    HolmesParker, Christopher G.
    Abstract:
    Research was conducted to determine the thermoelectric behavior of Co₉S₈, Co₉Se₈, CoSe, CoTe₂, CoSbSexSl-x (x=O, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0), CoSbTe, AuTe₂, AuTe₁.₉₀Sb₀.₁₀, Au₀.₉₅Pt₀.₀₅Te₂, Au₀.₉₅Ag₀.₀₅Te₂, MnTe₂, MnTe₁.₉₅Sb₀.₀₅, MnTe₁.₉₀Sb₀.₁₀, CoSb₂, and Co₀.₉₅Fe₀.₀₅Sb₂. Recently discovered sodium cobalt oxide compounds have been found to have large Seebeck coefficients coupled with favorable thermal and electrical...

  • A Comparative Study of Non-Normal Distributions in Continuous Dropout

    Creator:
    Guyer, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that novel continuous dropout methods can be viewed as a Bayesian interpretation of model parameters, though most such studies have shown results using normal distributions. As the posterior distributions over neural network nodes and parameters are intractable, given that they are a result of artificial construction...

  • Robotic path-planning through dynamic maps

    Creator:
    Bowie, Cameron Scott
    Abstract:
    Robotic global navigation is often based on the assumption that the world is static. It assumes that obstacles present in maps will be there later and new obstacles will be dealt with by a local planning algorithm. When robots interact in an environment inhabited by people, this assumption does not...
