The effect of food processing on the bioavailability of selenium in tuna and wheat : human and rat studies

Creator:: Alexander, Anne Rose
Abstract:: Bioavailability of selenium (Se) in processed tuna and wheat products was studied in humans and rats. The protein source of the rat diets was torula yeast with Se supplied by either raw, precooked or canned tuna, or whole wheat flour, bread or bran. Sodium selenite was used as a control....

Interaction of selenium with cadmium and mercury in semen and reproductive tissues: in vivo and in vitro studies

Creator:: Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund
Abstract:: Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...

Discrete compression web bracing design for light-frame wood trusses

Creator:: Waltz, Miles E.
Abstract:: As part of a roof framing system, light-frame wood trusses often require lateral bracing to reduce the effective length for flexural buckling of compression web members. This observational research investigates the design requirements for discrete compression web bracing intended to provide such lateral support. Four simple brace analysis methods based...

Application of sandwich structure analysis in predicting critical flow velocity for a laminated flat plate

Creator:: Jensen, Philip
Abstract:: The Oregon State University (OSU), Hydro Mechanical Fuel test Facility (HMFTF) is designed to hydro-mechanically test prototypical plate type fuel. OSU's fuel test program is a part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), formerly known as the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor program. One of the GTRI's...

The influence of behavior and water requirements on the distribution and habitat selection of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) with notes on Microtus townsendii

Creator:: Pearson, John Philip
Abstract:: Microtus canicaudus Miller, the gray-tailed vole, was studied in the field and laboratory in order to clarify aspects of the relationship of this species to its habitat. All trapping and sampling was done on permanent pasture land in the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge 12 miles south of Corvallis,...

The use of conserved variables in the modeling and parameterization of shallow cumulus trade wind boundary layers

Creator:: Barbour, Philip L. (Philip Lee), 1960-
Abstract:: A time dependent model of the shallow, tropical convective boundary layer is developed and tested. To simplify the treatment of thermodynamic processes and return to first principles of physics, conserved quantities of entropy and total water density are used as primary model variables. In addition, a new shallow cumulus parameterization...

Hydrogeology and Hydrologic Connectivity of a Semiarid Central Oregon Rangeland System

Creator:: Caruso, Philip
Abstract:: The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here...

Regulation of skeletal muscle mitochondria in response to obesity and exercise in mice and humans

Creator:: Batterson, Philip M.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscle mitochondria are highly plastic organelles, integral to whole-body health. High-fat diet (HFD) and exercise remodel the skeletal muscle mitochondria. Whereby, altered skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is linked to decreased skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity which can be reversed by exercise. However, the mechanisms that contribute to skeletal muscle remodeling...

Interposing Quarrels : Factors Influencing Neutrality Policy Formation, 1860-2016

Creator:: Su, Andrew Philip
Abstract:: When analyzing foreign policy, a significant question arises. How do nations make decisions about foreign engagement and neutrality? Understanding what factors and influences shape foreign policy decisions is often a difficult task as the motivation for action is never clear or absolute. This work will analyze whether or not the...
