A molecular and morphologic study of idiopathic fetlock hyperextension and suspensory apparatus breakdown in the llama

Creator:: Reed, Shannon Kelly
Abstract:: Suspensory apparatus breakdown and hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joints is a common condition in the llama and has been observed in llamas of all ages. Llama breeders refer to the condition as "down in the pasterns" or "down in the fetlocks." The condition can result in debilitating...

Treatment and Characterization of Valvular Pulmonic Stenosis and Coronary Artery Anatomy in English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs

Creator:: Smith, Courtney C.
Abstract:: Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is one of the most commonly encountered congenital cardiac defects in canine patients. English bulldogs have an increased risk of PS as compared to other dog breeds and have a higher reported prevalence of type II/type B/dysplastic pulmonic valve morphology. It has been shown that the dysplastic...

Anatomy of the osseous external acoustic meatus, middle ear and surrounding soft tissue in llamas (Lama glama)

Creator:: Concha-Albornoz, Ismael
Abstract:: Llamas (Lama glama) appear to have predisposing anatomical features for developing otitis media such as a long and narrow external acoustic meatus and a trabecular tympanic bulla. However, there is limited information available about the morphology of the ear in this species. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

Deformation imaging

Creator:: Margiocco, Marco L.
Abstract:: Recent developments in the field of clinical echocardiography allow the ultrasonographer to objectively quantify both regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (Strain) and deformation rate (Strain Rate) are novel indices of ventricular function that can be estimated non-invasively by ultrasonographic interrogation of the heart. Deformation Imaging (DI)represents a family...

Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Array Economic Analysis and Preliminary Results of a Genetic Algorithm Approach Introducing Cost Factors

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: With the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the current energy portfolio and the proximity of many population centers to an ocean coastline, it is pressing that marine energy systems, specifically wave energy converters (WECs), are evaluated as potential solutions for meeting energy needs. In order to best understand...

Bacteriophages for Leuconostoc oenos : a survey of Oregon wineries

Creator:: Eschelbach, Matthew Michael
Abstract:: A study of malolactic bacteria of the Leuconostoc genus, especially L. oenos, and their bacteriophages was conducted. A search for the presence of infectious bacteriophages in grapes, musts, and juices employed in malo-lactic fermentation (MLF) was conducted; no evidence, either physical or biological, was found for the existence of these...

Synthesis and oligomerization of y,4-Diamino-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidinepentanoic acid

Creator:: Nelson, Jeffrey Stephen
Abstract:: Described herein is the synthesis of an uncharged stereoregular oligonucleotide analog consisting of cytosine bases linked at specific intervals to a polyamide backbone derived from (L)-glutamic acid. Preparation of this analog entailed borane reduction of (L)- pyroglutamic acid to give optically pure lactam alcohol 9. Tosylation and alkylation with cytosine...

Development of a process for production of cantaloupe juice concentrate and determination of its composition and quality

Creator:: Galeb, Abduljalil Derhm Saeed
Abstract:: Fresh ripe, cantaloupes were processed into juice and juice concentrate. Processing trials were conducted on fresh and frozen fruits with and without rind. The effects of maceration enzymes and fining agents on yield and quality were investigated. Compositional measurement included °Brix, pH, titratable acidity, formol values, ascorbic acid content, total...

The effect of two levels of glucose ingestion on plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate concentration

Creator:: Huang, Ying-Hui
Abstract:: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of glucose on plasma pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP) concentration. The objective was to determine whether there was a negative relationship between glucose ingestion and plasma PLP concentration and to evaluate the possible mechanism of decreased PLP after acute glucose ingestion. Seven healthy...
