Intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) with tiludronate is a commonly used treatment for distal limb orthopedic disease in horses, but doses and protocols are anecdotal. IVRLP exposes articular cartilage within the perfused area to tiludronate, raising concerns about safety of this treatment, as high tiludronate concentrations (≥19mg/L) were harmful for...
This thesis is a series of personal essays that explore themes of
fundamentalism, family, loss, personal growth and the question of free will.
The work reflects my study of the written word, of language, and of how
people have tried to define, or have experienced, the numinous. The essays
are...
Graph production by computer requires a blending of
human effort in scale selection with computer precision in
datum point placement. Existing techniques are designed
primarily for computer scientists; the average scientific
investigator, educator, or businessman tends to avoid them
for one or more of the following reasons: expense, complexity,
or...
This study uses interviews with 18 businesses in Oregon's Willamette Valley to explore business investment in the environment, and how this relates to ecosystem services, payment for ecosystem services programs, and the water-energy nexus. Our research led us to outline 5 factors that influence business investment in the environment, those...
This thesis examines prehistoric land use patterns of the entire North Santiam subbasin, located on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascade Range. The objective of this analysis is three-fold: 1) to contribute to reconstructing the cultural chronology of the area; 2) to address the use of raw material by...

Includes regional tips for various parts of Oregon.
Located on the central Oregon coast, the Umpqua Eden site (35D083) yielded an artifact assemblage which is one of the five largest assemblages from the Oregon coast. The first aspect of the site that I looked at is the people who lived at the site, the ancestors of the Confederated...
Serum samples were collected between 24 and 48 h of age
from 408 Hereford calves of a selection experiment and from 200
Angus, Hereford and Red Poll calves of another experimental
population (Germ Plasm Utilization project). Concentrations of
Immunoglobulin G₁ (IgG₁) were determined by single radial
immunodiffusion. Breed or selection...
Anecdotal accounts of tiludronate administration via intravenous regional limb
perfusion (IVRLP) exist despite a lack of information regarding safety for synovial
structures in the perfused area. The objective of this study was to determine whether
tiludronate concentrations in synovial structures after IVRLP with low dose (0.5 mg,
LDT) or high...
