In this work a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) facility has been designed, built, and characterized at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor. PGNAA is a technique used to determine the presence and quantity of trace elements such as boron, hydrogen and carbon which are more difficult to detect...
SCOPE: Aim of the study was to identify and monitor metabolite markers of dry bean consumption
in parallel human and mouse studies that each had shown chemopreventive effects of dry
bean consumption on colorectal neoplasia risk.
METHODS and RESULTS: Using LC/mass spectroscopy ± ESI and GC/mass spectroscopy, serum
metabolites of...

A 24 bed community hospital was the setting where a comparison
of shared and traditional pharmacy services took place. This study
also provides a model for implementation of shared pharmacy
services for health care professionals faced with improving the
quality of patient care and controlling costs.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a highly active platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agent for use against solid tumors, including ovarian. However, like most antitumor agents, CDDP use is accompanied by non-tumor tissue toxicities leading to unwanted side effects, including neuropathy. To date, the mechanism(s) for these side effects are undefined. However, the clinical features...
Introduction: Research has demonstrated that minimal shoes may help prevent ankle injuries by mimicking natural barefoot running. It has been proven that minimal shoes may help adults prevent injuries in the correct conditions, but little is known about the effect of minimal and barefoot running on youth kinematics. Purpose: To...
Pollen, the male product of the flower, is a crucial component in plant reproduction, as it transmits the sperm cells to the female structures, enabling fertilization and subsequent seed production. A major transition of the pollen life cycle, triggered upon pollination of female floral tissue, is from a dormant pollen...
Child behavior disorders are the second most prevalent form of mental illness affecting children in the United States (Perou et al., 2013), with lifetime prevalence estimated at 10% (Nock, Kazdin, Hiripi & Kessler, 2007). Negative outcomes associated with ODD during childhood and adolescence include conflict in families, poor peer relationships,...
The anemone Anthopleura xanthogrammica varies in color from
bright green to muddy brown. However, individuals found in caves
are white. White specimens of Anthopleura xanthogrammica collected
from dark caves along the Oregon coast were subjected to various
experiments to determine if these cave dwelling animals carried any
cells of the...
