  • 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...

  • Fish and invertebrate distribution at multiple scales in Thomas Creek, Oregon : a transition from conifer uplands to agricultural lowlands

    Creator:
    Langshaw, Russell B.
    Abstract:
    Longitudinal patterns of fish and benthic invertebrate distribution and habitat use were similar in Thomas Creek, Oregon but clarity of these patterns differed. I studied fish and aquatic invertebrates simultaneously, at multiple scales, and used multivariate statistical techniques to compare responses to the same environmental conditions. Both types of organisms...

  • "They called me the hyacinth girl" : T. S. Eliot, masculinity, and the Great War

    Creator:
    Query, Patrick
    Abstract:
    This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...

  • Nature in chains : the effects of Thomas Jefferson’s rectangular survey on a Pacific Northwest landscape

    Creator:
    Schweickert, Tina K.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the impact of humans on the environment has long been a topic of scholarly interest and debate. As environmental problems mount, accounts of historic ecological conditions and the factors of change become increasingly useful. This study considers competing schools of interpretation about human impacts on ecological landscapes and develops...

  • The Biotransformation of Hop Aroma: An Exploration into Yeasts' Ability to Release Polyfunctional Thiols in Beer

    Creator:
    Molitor, Richard W.
    Abstract:
    The biotransformation of hop aroma via yeast is a prominent topic in the brewing industry with considerable interest placed on how yeast can enhance volatile thiol production during wort fermentation. Three potent thiols are known contributors to tropical qualities in wine and beer aroma, specifically 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA),...

  • A probabilistic model for anomaly detection in remote sensor streams

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensors are becoming the standard for observing and recording ecological data in the field. Such sensors can record data at fine temporal resolutions, and they can operate under extreme conditions prohibitive to human access. Unfortunately, sensor data streams exhibit many kinds of errors ranging from corrupt communications to partial...

  • The construction and computational modeling of a fiber Bragg grating tunable laser diode

    Creator:
    Winz, Michele W.
    Abstract:
    The widespread adoption of wavelength division multiplexing to increase the bandwidth of optical fiber communication systems has provided a major impetus for research on low cost, single-mode, wavelength stable tunable diode lasers for use in optical telecommunications due to the large volume of lasers required. Other applications, such as demodulation...

  • Probabilistic models for quality control in environmental sensor networks

    Creator:
    Dereszynski, Ethan W.
    Abstract:
    Networks of distributed, remote sensors are providing ecological scientists with a view of our environment that is unprecedented in detail. However, these networks are subject to harsh conditions, which lead to malfunctions in individual sensors and failures in network communications. This behavior manifests as corrupt or missing measurements in the...

  • Transactional analysis applied to a community development issue

    Creator:
    Manolescu, Kathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Barth's theory of transactional analysis is applied to the community of Tiller, Oregon and its reaction to a development proposal. Community behavior patterns vis-a-vis the development proposal are examined from a processual point of view to determine how these patterns are generated. The community's history and contemporary situation are described....
