Embryonic and Larval Zebrafish Bioassays for Biomedical Research : The Larval Photomotor Response Screening Assay and Phenotype

Creator:: Fisher, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Laboratories around the world are using the zebrafish model for biomedical research and conducting investigations using morphological, physiological, behavioral, and genomic endpoints. All assays provide information, but physiological and behavioral endpoints or phenotypes are a fast way to understand how an animal is responding to its environment. We investigate the...

Assessing and evaluating the energy and angular dependence of the Self-indicating Instant Radiation Alert Dosimeter (SIRAD)

Creator:: Bak, Alysse K.
Abstract:: The Self-indicating Instant Radiation Alert Dosimeter, SIRAD™, manufactured by JP Labs*, is a dosimeter that can be used by emergency response persoimel. It is a user-friendly, inexpensive, and disposable radiation dosimeter. It monitors high doses, 5-200 rads, of ionizing radiation. The card resembles the size of a credit card and...

Refrigerated seawater depuration for reducing Vibrio parahaemolyticus contamination in raw Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Yang, Qianru
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a seafood-borne pathogen that can cause gastroenteritis in humans. This study investigated the effectiveness of refrigerated seawater (5°C) depuration on reducing V. parahaemolyticus in raw Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas). Raw Pacific oysters were inoculated with a mixed culture of five clinical strains of V. parahaemolyticus and depurated...

Hydrologic and Land Cover Effects on Sources and Fate of In-Stream Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter

Creator:: Lee, Baek Soo P.
Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a critical component of the carbon cycle linking terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although many factors influence DOM fluxes and quality in rivers, controls on DOM compositions in catchments of the western U.S. are poorly understood. UV and fluorescent spectroscopy is a simpler, faster, and less...

Effects of combining of upper and lower body resistance training on lumbar loading

Creator:: Doran, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common and costly public health problem with a high occurrence in older women due to menopausal-onset bone loss. Recent findings suggest that mechanical loading created by upper body resistance training can stimulate bone growth in the lumbar spine, reducing osteoporosis-related bone loss and associated fracture...

West Nile virus : forecasting models for a resurging vector-borne disease in Arizona, U.S.A.

Creator:: Roldan, Josiah Javier
Abstract:: West Nile Virus (WNV), a vector-borne disease continues to be a serious threat to public health in the United States, particularly in the Southwest region. While all the states in the U.S. experienced a decreasing trend of WNV disease in 2010, the state of Arizona experienced a sharp increase from...

The potential use of GIS as a tool for communicating risk information to American Indian tribes: A consideration of the ethical implications

Creator:: Lizon, K. Michele
Abstract:: American Indians presently face health risks posed by exposure to environmental pollutants through different exposure routes including: inhalation (e.g., air particles), ingestion (e.g., fish, water), and dermal contact (e.g., contact with water, soil). Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in the Environmental Health arena as a tool for...

Acceptability of market-based approaches to water management : an analysis of the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program

Creator:: Lieberherr, Eva K.
Abstract:: Growing urbanization, shifting water uses, and a focus on ecosystem health in the Deschutes River Basin in Central Oregon led to experimentation with new voluntary market-based approaches to water management in the last decade. To meet groundwater demands while maintaining instream flows and upholding prior water allocations, the Oregon Water...

Transforming social relations : how caregiving sons "do" gender subversively

Creator:: Hirayama, Ryo
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I explored how social relationships influence, and are influenced by, men's experiences of caregiving to their aging parents. Because of sociodemographic trends such as fewer siblings in younger generations and the growth of women seeking professional careers, men are increasingly likely to be called upon to meet...
