Osteochondrosis (OC) is a developmental orthopedic disease that results from a disruption to normal endochondral ossification in the articular-epiphyseal growth complex. In mammals, the hedgehog pathway and growth factor signaling are essential to this process. Previous studies in yearling horses with OC have shown upregulation of Indian hedgehog and insulin-like...
Objective- To determine the average flexion and standing extension measurements for each limb articulation of alpacas and llamas and determine if there was any significant difference between the species’ measurements. Animals- Alpacas (n=6) and llamas (n=6) of the Oregon State University teaching herd. Methods- Each articulation was measured four times...
This study aimed to explore the relationship between grassroots activism, in the form of a plastic bag ban, and social capital.

With the increased variety and use of lining fabrics, consumers
have become concerned over choices for lining fabrics which have
good serviceability properties. The major purpose of this study was
to secure some information on the physical properties of lining fabrics
to help consumers in the selection of lining fabrics...
To assist with risk-assessment with deepwater and ultra-deepwater prospects for offshore energy extraction as well as provide a useful tool for oil spill response, a spatially-explicit model was developed for comprehensive simulations of a blowout event from the wellhead to final fate and degradation. The Blowout and Spill Occurrence Model...
Marginalized groups in the United States are often diagnosed with hypertension at younger ages, contributing to their excess burden of cardiovascular disease. These disparities in blood pressure control do not appear to be fully accounted for by individual risk factors, such as health behaviors or genetic differences. Experiences of discrimination...
In recent years, non-renewable and non-biodegradable plastic packaging forms the majority of landfilled waste. These products, mainly made from Polyethylene Tetraphlatate (PET) and other polyolefins, have excellent durability and barrier properties, but take hundreds of years to degrade.
Much focus has been put on developing environmentally friendly alternatives to polyolefins...
