  • The Effect of Varying Parameters on Web Vibration Analysis Accuracy

    Creator:
    Gladson, Kathleen Y.
    Abstract:
    The SpiderHarp is a bio-inspired electronic musical instrument that uses a localization algorithm developed at Oregon State University to translate plucks of its strings into musical notes. This localization algorithm was inspired by the way spiders locate prey in their webs. The SpiderHarp frame, sensors, and web design are also...

  • Differential Binding and Structural Properties of the WWC Protein Family

    Creator:
    Rodriguez, Diego Javier
    Abstract:
    The WWC family consists of three proteins‐ KIBRA/WWC1, WWC2, and WWC3. The three proteins share a similar primary structure and interact with a common set of proteins. Each paralog contains two WW domains which recognize proline‐rich sequences of the type PPxY (P is proline, Y is tyrosine, x is any...

  • Low-frequency Teleseismic and Infrasound Arrivals along the Dense Corvallis Nodal Array

    Creator:
    Way, Rachel
    Abstract:
    The dense Corvallis array deployed in January of 2022 aided in the high-resolution study of local geology. This array was made of 177 SmartSolo 3-component 5 Hz geophones around Corvallis, with a 93 geophone profile going west towards Bald Hill for approximately 5 km at an average of 64 m...

  • Applying Kuhn’s Theories to the Development of Mathematics

    Creator:
    Smee, Samantha A.
    Abstract:
    Presented in this paper is an analysis of the body of scholarly work that attempts to apply Thomas Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions to mathematics. These applications vary on several levels, from the authors’ interpretation of Kuhn’s original work to the definitions used for terms such as paradigm, revolution, and...

  • Differences in expression of COVID-19 related inflammatory genes in non-human primates with varying alcohol consumption

    Creator:
    Co, Amber
    Abstract:
    Severe cases of COVID-19 have been associated with cytokine storms, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to play a role in liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease. To investigate alcohol consumption as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severity,...

  • Antioxidative Effects of Primary Structure Modification of a Tuna Backbone Derived Peptide

    Creator:
    Gopinatth, Varun
    Abstract:
    In biological systems, antioxidants are bioactive compounds that protect against oxidation of lipids, proteins, and DNA. Natural antioxidant peptides are often purified and isolated from proteins as a less toxic alternative to synthetic peptides, but the mechanisms behind their activity are not well understood. The purpose of this study is...

  • Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Premixed Jet-A/Air Flames Diluted with Combustion Products

    Creator:
    Hoter, Zohar R.
    Abstract:
    Heat flux measurements of radiation emissions from turbulent premixed flames diluted with N 2 and CO 2 were taken to identify sensitivities of radiation heat loss to diluent fraction and species. This work is motivated by the desire to better characterise radiant heat transfer in the presence of combustion products,...

  • Biophysical Characterization of the Yorkie-Mask Complex

    Creator:
    Bessette, Hannah
    Abstract:
    Yes-associated protein (YAP) in mammals and Yorkie (Yki) in Drosophila are functionally homologous proteins that partner with transcription factors to promote cell proliferation. The Drosophila protein Mask and its mammalian homolog MASK1 are examples of transcription factors that are essential for Yki/ YAP to drive transcription of target genes. Increased...

  • The analysis of kisspeptin neuronal exosomes and their effects on neuronal plasticity of downstream gonadotropin-releasing hormone expressing neurons

    Creator:
    Ewton, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are able to trigger the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone which control the maturation of oocytes and ovulation which is vital for reproduction. They are the most downstream neurons that project to the median eminence into the pituitary portal where they release GnRH. Modulation...

  • Nongenomic Actions of Steroid Hormones in the Ovine Endometrium

    Creator:
    Ireton, Kyle E.
    Abstract:
    The steroid hormone estrogen plays a crucial role in regulating certain mammalian tissues, especially female reproductive systems. Estrogen effects physiological changes in the cell by altering transcription activity for certain target genes, as a consequence of interactions between estradiol-17β (E2) and its nuclear receptor (nER). This mechanism of cellular control...
