Performance Analysis of a Utility-Scale Wave Energy Converter

Creator:: May-Varas, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: A six degree of freedom (6DOF) point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC) called LUPA is being developed at Oregon State University. This research focused on analyzing a full- scale LUPA, called LUPA20, to answer the following questions: 1) How does a full-scale WEC perform due to various factors; 2) What are...

E+A galaxy and spiral E+A galaxy candidates in the Hercules supercluster

Creator:: Williams, Rosemary H.
Abstract:: E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...

Examining the Effects on Salivary Cortisol Levels of Shelter Volunteers Interacting with Familiar Dogs

Creator:: Duvall, Holly K.
Abstract:: Heightened cortisol levels are a typical physiological response to stress. The many responsibilities of animal shelter workers can lead to increased stress levels and negative effects on their job satisfaction and overall wellness. As a result, workers are subject to burnout and compassion fatigue. While working in shelter environments may...

An Analysis of U.S. News Media Coverage of E-Cigarettes: Does a Youth Epidemic Make a Difference?

Creator:: Winett, Julia R.
Abstract:: Rates of electronic cigarettes (or “e-cigarettes”) use among youth are so high that the Surgeon General declared them to be of “epidemic proportions” (A Report of the Surgeon General, 2012). If these rates go unchanged, e-cigarettes will likely be responsible for the creation of a new generation of combustible cigarette...

Impact of Vitamin E Deficiency on Hepatic Gene Expression of CRAL_TRIO Family Proteins in a Premier Vertebrate Animal Model

Creator:: Watt, Alexander T.
Abstract:: Vitamin E (vitE) is a group of lipid-soluble antioxidants- of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active and only form considered to be an essential nutrient. Through preferential binding and trafficking, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) regulates the concentration of vitE in the body. The impact of vitE deficiency on...

The Effects of Vitamin E on the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans Strains with Mitochondrial Mutations

Creator:: Kusuma, Danika N.
Abstract:: Although assays have been done on the effects of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol (ɑ-tocopherol) on the lifespan of wildtype C. elegans, none have been done on the effects of the vitamin on mutant strains with mitochondrial mutations. By using a mev-1 genetic mutant strain of C. elegans with higher levels of...

Characterization of a Transgenic Mouse for Human Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1)

Creator:: You, Hyekyoung Hannah
Abstract:: Cytochrome P450 1B1 (Cyp1B1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme, responsible for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) oxidative metabolism. CYP1B1 metabolically activates several species of environmentally relevant procarcinogenic PAHs to reactive carcinogens. PAHs are aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists, leading to CYP1B1 upregulation. Though CYP1B1 is highly conserved across species, wild type...
