  • Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling/simulation and novel gastric retention formulation

    Creator:
    Kwon, Hyojong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation describes formulation of a gastric retention device (GRD) and sustained release (SR) hydrochlorothiazide beads at Oregon State University. Formulation condition and amounts of excipients had significant influence on characteristic of the GRD. The GRD containing SR hydrochlorothiazide beads was employed to assess bioavailability/bioequivalency study in healthy subjects. An...

    Creator:
    Sloat, Brian R.
    Abstract:
    Currently, the only anthrax vaccine licensed for human use in the United States is the Anthrax-vaccine-absorbed (AVA or Biothrax®). AVA suffers from several drawbacks, including a complicated and lengthy dosing schedule that requires six initial injections administered over eighteen months, followed by annual boosters. Therefore, a new generation anthrax vaccine...

  • Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

    Creator:
    Taylor, David S.
    Abstract:
    Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

  • Applications of GnRH immunization in domestic dogs

    Creator:
    Donovan, Caitlin Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Reproductive function in the dog is controlled by feedback mechanisms that involve the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the gonads. Surgical gonad removal, a common procedure performed in dogs for the purposes of sterilization, disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and results in permanently elevated concentrations of gonadotropins. Manipulation of...
