Effect of the calpain inhibitor E-64-d on the degradation of α-fodrin in damaged muscle

Creator:: Boyd, Jeffrey
Abstract:: We hypothesized that calpain activity is elevated in response to muscle damage. To test this hypothesis, we examined the degradation of α-fodrin into its 150 and 145 kDa fragments following either 20 eccentric or isometric contractions. In addition, experiments were performed in the presence or absence of E-64-d, a calpain...

Tracer transport in the Martian atmosphere as simulated by a Mars GCM

Creator:: Walsh, Thomas D.
Abstract:: This paper investigates the atmospheric circulation and transport characteristics of the Martian atmosphere (as modeled by a Mars GCM) for three sets of conditions. The conditions are based on a combination of season and dust loading (as parameterized by the optical depth, τ). The first experiment is for the Northern...

The assessment of copper and zinc removal from highway stormwater runoff using Apatite II™

Creator:: Huang, Hsiao-Wen
Abstract:: Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...

Adaptive Meets Precautionary: Navigating Risk and Rules in Collaborative Marine Renewable Energy Permitting Processes

Creator:: Burright, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Despite its promise as a potentially beneficial new source of energy, the ocean-based renewable energy industry is still in its infancy, and like any new idea there are many unknowns with the potential to affect both people and our natural environments. A permit for marine renewable energy (MRE) must cut...

Distribution and Ecological roles of arthropods in dead woody materials of ponderosa pine forests, northern California

Creator:: Lemieux, Jeffrey P.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes arthropod responses to and effects on decay processes in ponderosa pine, a dominant forest canopy tree in northern California. We used both descriptive and experimental field techniques to establish how arthropod assemblages depend on and are important to the disintegration of woody structures in forests of this...

Temporal and spatial variability of groundwater nitrate in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mutti, Jeffrey Glenn
Abstract:: Groundwater nitrate contamination is a well-documented issue in the Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) of Oregon, as a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) has recently been declared. As a GWMA, groundwater nitrate monitoring must occur until regional concentrations are below 7 mg/L NO3-N. However, the presence of temporal variability can make it...

Genetic variation of Renibacterium salmoninarum genes in infected salmonids

Creator:: Burnett, Jeffrey R.
Abstract:: Renibacterium salmoninarum is the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease in both wild and farmed salmonid species worldwide. The genome of this pathogen has significant synteny to the ubiquitous, soil-dwelling Arthrobacter spp. though it is 1.9 Mb smaller, suggesting that reductive evolution has occurred. Recently, our group finished sequencing and...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:: Torres-Andrade, Paola A.
Abstract:: Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Copper Speciation in Wastewater-Impacted Surface Waters

Creator:: Mosbrucker, Ariel M.
Abstract:: This study investigates the relationship between total and ionic copper in samples taken from the Tualatin River and wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) that discharge into the Tualatin River. Copper speciation was analyzed by determining conditional stability constants and densities of copper binding ligands on the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in...

Evaluation of Apatite II™ for removal of copper and zinc from highway stormwater runoff : laboratory and field experiments

Creator:: Provolt, Justin J.
Abstract:: Current best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater treatment are not able to adequately remove heavy metals to levels which do not adversely affect aquatic life. Copper is commonly found in highway stormwater runoff, with the primary source being brake pad wear. Copper is of particular concern due to inhibitory effects...
