  • Reallocating resources, rebuilding community : the Klamath Basin agreements and the emergence of adaptive governance

    Creator:
    Chaffin, Brian C.
    Abstract:
    The concept of "adaptive governance" represents a spectrum of hybrid approaches to environmental governance employed to guide management of complex social-ecological systems under conditions of high uncertainty. While the concept of adaptive governance has benefited from over a decade of theoretical development, empirical examples of transitions towards adaptive governance are...

  • Role of Plc in the germination of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning isolate SM101

    Creator:
    Bond, Colton B.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...

  • Ascorbylation- the biological relevance of covalently bound ascorbic acid

    Creator:
    Kesinger, Nicholas G.
    Abstract:
    Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is well known as a co-factor for proline-hydroxylase and as an anti-oxidant. However, it is also capable of forming covalent bonds, particularly in the role of a nucleophile, henceforth termed 'ascorbylation'. The ascorbylation of electrophiles can occur under physiological conditions. Furthermore, there are a number...

  • Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yong
    Abstract:
    Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

    Creator:
    Loshbaugh, Robert B.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a work of literary non-fiction. It is divided into six sections. The first, "A Sense of Place," and the last, "Pulling a Geographical," are collage essays which establish and then reiterate major themes in the work: movement, work, geography, climate, people, and education--some curricular, some not. The...

  • Parallelism encapsulation in C++

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng and Lewis, Ted G.
    Abstract:
    Object oriented programming features information hiding and encapsulation, meaning that 1) each object hides the the implementation details tram access from outside and only a set of methods (interface routines) are visible outside of the object, and 2) changes to the implementation of the object do not require changes to...

  • Regulation of phospholipase C-beta isozymes by calmodulin

    Creator:
    McCullar, Jennifer Star
    Abstract:
    Phospholipase C-Jβ (PLCβ) is an important effector enzyme in G-protein-coupled signaling pathways. Activation of PLCβ by Gα and Gβy subunits has been fairly well characterized, but little is known about other protein interactions that may also regulate PLCβ function. A yeast two-hybrid screen of a mouse brain cDNA library with...

    Abstract:
    The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

  • Hepatitis B and liver cancer among Hmong : knowledge, perceptions of risk, and barriers to hepatitis B screening and vaccination

    Creator:
    Kue, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    Chronic hepatitis B disproportionately affects Asian Americans. Although Asians make up only 4.2% of the total United States (U.S.) population, they account for more than half of those infected with hepatitis B. If left untreated, chronic hepatitis B could lead to cirrhosis, liver damage, and liver cancer. Studies show that...
