Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

Creator:: Bauman, Andrew Thomas
Abstract:: Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...

David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

Creator:: Randlemon, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

Attitudes toward science and critical thinking abilities of chemistry and non-chemistry students in the Tacoma Public schools

Creator:: Brown, Terrance Ralph
Abstract:: This investigation was designed to compare the growth in attitudes toward science and the critical thinking abilities of high school juniors in chemistry to juniors not enrolled in chemistry. One hundred and fifty-three chemistry students and 149 non-chemistry students were randomly selected to participate in the study. Criterion tests used...

Graphene Biotransistors, an Exploration of Neurosensing and Biofilm-sensing Applications

Creator:: Brown, Morgan A.
Abstract:: Atomically-thin graphene sheets have unprecedented characteristics for biosensing applications. These characteristics include mechanical flexibility and strength, optical transparency, electrical sensitivity and biocompatibility. The primary theme of this dissertation is the characterization and application of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) in biologically-relevant physiological environments.Understanding the interface that forms between an electrolyte and...

Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Sorption of NH₃ in a dry system in relation to the chemical properties of clays and soils

Creator:: James, D. W. (David W.), 1929-
Abstract:: The physico-chemical reactions of ammonia in soils and clays have many practical and theoretical implications. On the one hand, large quantities of anhydrous ammonia are used annually in agriculture for fertilizer; the dry gas is applied directly to the soil by simply injecting it below the ground surface. On the...

The effects of water withdrawals on the emergence timing, adult body mass, and total emerging biomass of aquatic insects from two northeast Oregon rivers

Creator:: Brown, Phil D.
Abstract:: Small low-head diversion dams are capable of removing much of the flow of a river, often resulting in increased water temperatures and habitat loss. Warmer temperatures have been shown to accelerate aquatic invertebrate growth and development, and discharge reductions can reduce instream habitat, suggesting that water withdrawals may alter both...

Influence of protein supplementation frequency on cows consuming low-quality forage : performance, grazing behavior, and variation in supplement intake

Creator:: Schauer, Christopher Scott
Abstract:: Our objective was to determine the influence of CP supplementation frequency (SF) on cow performance, grazing time, distance traveled, maximum distance from water, cow distribution, DMI, DM digestibility, harvest efficiency (HE), percentage of supplementation events frequented, and CV for supplement intake for cows grazing low-quality forage. One hundred-twenty pregnant (approx....

Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:: Brown, Nathaniel M.
Abstract:: Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

A State of Practice of Safety and Big Data in Transportation Engineering Curricula and in Transportation Design : How is it Used and How can Academic Offerings Better Represent Industry Practices?

Creator:: Castro, Edgar D.
Abstract:: Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...
