Role of myosin heavy chain polymorphism in differential susceptibility of muscle fibers to eccentric contraction

Creator:: Choi, Seung Jun
Abstract:: Relationships between myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content and eccentric-induced damage were investigated in chemically skinned muscle fiber segments. Fibers were subjected to an eccentric contraction standardized for strain magnitude (0.25 fiber length) and velocity (0.50 maximal shortening velocity). Fiber MHC isoform content was identified by SDS-PAGE. Pre- to post-eccentric...

School Bullying Intervention Programs and the Eight Positive Youth Development Indicators of High-Quality Youth Programs : A Systematic Review and Analysis

Creator:: Flesch, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: During the past two decades a wide range of intervention programs have emerged in response to escalating concerns over school bullying. The advent of such programs seems justified as 70 percent of school-aged children and youth identify bullying as a problem in their school (Polanin, et al., 2012; Renshaw &...

Phytosanitation of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs to mitigate the risk of artificially disseminating Phytophthora ramorum within the global trade of timber

Creator:: Hulbert, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum is a plant pathogen that was accidentally introduced to the United States. This invasive microorganism has killed over a million trees in California and Oregon, and continues to spread to new areas. Diseased areas have been nationally quarantined to prevent further spread and more than ninety countries include...

Groundwater and stormwater treatment at western wood preserving facilities : an analysis of current treatment methods

Creator:: Ragan, Anita M.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest is blessed with an abundance of precipitation. This rainfall, however, can have important consequences for industries that must process the resulting stormwater for proper discharge. This is particularly true of wood treatment facilities. Past management practices at wood preserving facilities located in the Western United States create...

Cellular mechanisms of muscle weakness and fatigability in individuals with multiple sclerosis

Creator:: Garner, Dena J. P.
Abstract:: Muscle weakness and fatigue are debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Approximately 50% of muscle weakness and fatigue have been attributed to deficits within the peripheral nervous system, specifically mechanisms residing in the muscle. The goals of this study were to identify the cellular mechanisms of contraction within the muscle...

Quantification of Copper Speciation in Pulp and Paper Wastewater and Implications for the Biotic Ligand Model

Creator:: Mitzel, Joseph M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to measure the copper-binding behavior of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) contained in Pulp and Paper (P&P) wastewater effluent and evaluate the Biotic Ligand Model’s (BLM) ability to quantify copper speciation in P&P influenced waters. A copper ion selective electrode was used to measure copper...

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...

Protein isoform-function relationships of single skeletal muscle fibers from weight-bearing and hindlimb suspended mice

Creator:: Stelzer, Julian E.
Abstract:: The goals of this research were to a) characterize the protein-function relationships of skeletal muscle single fibers from the mouse hindlimb b) examine mouse-strain related differences in myosin heavy chain composition (MHC) and single fiber contractile function, and c) quantify changes in fiber size and contractile function in response to...

Role of GacSA Two-component System and Bacterial Surface Attachment in Pseudomonas syringae Virulence

Creator:: O'Malley, Megan R.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas syringae are plant pathogenic bacteria that cause disease by rapidly multiplying within the aboveground tissues of host plants. Growth of P. syringae within plant host tissues requires the disarmament of host immune defenses that limit microbial growth. To combat host defenses, P. syringae deploys a type III secretion system...
