Creator:: Wagner, Jeff R.
Abstract:: At the conclusion of the novel The Healing of America, T.R. Reid challenges the American people to decide whether health care is a human right prior to any appropriate service reform occurring. From Reid’s perspective, the design of any nation’s health service system is primarily dictated by the morals of...

Impact of asset usage preferences on parallel replacement decisions

Creator:: Wagner, Tristan John
Abstract:: Data from a state department of transportation fleet shows that the usage of a typical asset decreases as it ages. One possible explanation for decreasing asset usage with age is operator preference for using the newest available asset. In this research the long-term cost and replacement implications of such a...

Factors affecting coho salmon production in Oregon

Creator:: Scarnecchia, Dennis Leslie
Abstract:: Eight scale characters of known hatchery and wild coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were compared, and a linear discriminant function was used to determine if hatchery and wild adult coho salmon could be correctly identified by their scales. Eighty-two percent of the hatchery and 89% of the wild fish were correctly...

Contractile function and calpain activity in mouse skeletal muscle during hypoxia

Creator:: Hu, Hui
Abstract:: Calcium activated proteases, or calpains, are activated in cardiac muscles under conditions of ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia. Their activity in skeletal muscle under similar conditions is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that hypoxia elevates calpain-mediated proteolysis in isolated glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and oxidative (soleus, SOL) mouse muscles studied...

Top-Down Effects of Wildlife and Bottom-Up Drivers of Soils and Productivity in Intensively Managed Forest Plantations in the Northern Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Frey, David W.
Abstract:: In intensively managed forest plantations in the northern Oregon Coast Range, herbicides are often applied during site preparation and early stand regeneration to reduce competition for resources for planted conifer seedlings. In addition to reducing competition for crop trees, herbicide applications may affect soil processes including decomposition and nutrient cycling,...

The Impact of Commercial Insurance on Utilization and Cost of Healthcare Services among Patients with Cirrhosis

Creator:: Shi, Lu
Abstract:: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death in the United States. Patients with cirrhosis are more likely to develop HCC. More than 80% of HCC patients are found have preexisting cirrhosis. The prevalence of cirrhosis increased from 0.26% to 0.3.% between 1999 to 2010 and...

Characterizing the Plant-Associated Symbionts, Rhodococcus and Agrobacterium

Creator:: Fuller, Skylar L.
Abstract:: Symbioses are a spectrum of interactions between organisms living in closeassociation. These intimate interactions range from mutualism, in which bothorganisms benefit, to parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense ofthe other. Horizontal gene transfer is the acquisition of genes independent ofvertical transmission and demonstrably promotes the transition of bacteria...

The Altruism-Empathy-Perspective Connection: A Case Study of Human-Wildlife Interactions at Cintimini Wildlife Rehabilitaion Center, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Freed, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: In the realms of psychology and sociology two new theoretical models have arisen to describe the forces influencing altruistic human behavior. The first Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis (EAH), by C.D. Batson. The second is the Conceptual Continuum of Altruism (CCA), by K.R. Monroe. Both models have proven to be highly useful in...

Biogeochemical signals of mountainous forested watersheds' response to disturbance

Creator:: Guerrero-Bolaño Francisco J.
Abstract:: Small mountainous watersheds are disproportionate sources of land-derived particulate organic matter (POM) to long-term sinks like lake bottoms and the ocean. As such, these ecosystems are an essential component of the global carbon cycle. The burial of POM in lacustrine and marine sediments contributes to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2...
