Comparative phenotypic studies on vibrios of environmental origin that resemble human clinical isolates

Creator:: Greenwood, John David
Abstract:: A comparative investigation of the phenotypic properties of environmental and clinical strains of the lactose-positive human pathogen, Vibrio vulnificus, revealed that they are indistinguishable in traits commonly used for identification in clinical and public health laboratories. It has also been confirmed that there are other strains of undefined Vibrio spp.,...

Unpalatability as an antipredator defense in anuran larvae

Creator:: Peterson, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: The tadpoles of several anuran species with groupforming larvae are relatively unpalatable to many of their potential predators. To more fully understand the role of palatability and its relationship to group formation as an antipredator defense in anuran amphibian larvae, I investigated the palatabilities of the larvae of three species...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

The effects of engineered coatings and natural organic matter on nanoparticle aggregation

Creator:: McDowell, Shannon A.
Abstract:: In order to better predict the aggregation state of nanomaterials, the factors that influence aggregation must be understood. The combined effects of natural and engineered coatings have been shown to factor into nanoparticle aggregation behavior in preliminary research. In this study, aggregation behaviors of gold nanoparticles with two different engineered...

Developing a Standard to Assess Water Repellency and Dimensional Stability of Preservative Treated Railroad Ties or Other Large Timbers

Creator:: Trebelhorn, Daniel B.
Abstract:: Untreated wood is inherently hygroscopic and moisture content variations can have substantial effects on dimensional stability leading to the development of deep surface checks that further enhance moisture uptake and ultimately encourage deterioration. The horizontal exposure of wood crossties makes water repellency and dimensional stability particularly important in railroad applications....

The effectiveness of a static and dynamic balance training program for children with cerebral palsy

Creator:: Senisi, Michael
Abstract:: Balance is the ability to establish an equilibrium between the body and its environment. Balance is a key component which is associated with a variety of movements and postural control. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulties with movement and postural control due to physical and neurological limitations. The purpose...

A comparison of bone mineral density between active and nonactive men with spinal cord injuries

Creator:: Eddins, William C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of bone mineral density (BMD) of the whole body (WB) and proximal femurs of physically active men with spinal cord injuries (SCI) to nonactive men with spinal cord injuries. Also, the lean muscle mass (LMM) of active men with SCI...

Natural Organic Matter Surface Coverage as a Predictor of Heteroaggregation between Nanoparticles and Colloids

Creator:: Oney, Dylan M.
Abstract:: Heteroaggregation of nanoparticles with naturally occurring colloids has been shown to be an important process in nanoparticle fate and transport in the aquatic environment. The advent of a functional assay to measure heteroaggregation attachment efficiencies has opened the door for further mechanistic studies. It is well known that natural organic...

Effects of a resistance exercise program on activities of daily living of elderly women

Creator:: DeVries, Christine L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if a 5-month progressive-resistance exercise program would affect measures of activities of daily living (ADLs) and functional stability in elderly women. All subjects were ambulatory women, 80 to 93 years old, who lived in assisted-care facilities. Eight exercise and 7 control subjects...
