Exploring phylogeny of Rhodococcus fascians isolates using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis

Creator:: Sandberg, Eva Song
Abstract:: Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael T.
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

Stability of Super Folder Green Fluorescent Protein Under Varying Organic Solvent and Temperature Conditions

Creator:: Ho, Lylan
Abstract:: Obtaining high-resolution structures of biological macromolecules has become one of the biggest challenges in the scientific world. Dr. Wei Kong’s lab is currently working to overcome the limitations of current structure resolution techniques, such as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Kong’s group hopes to develop a new protein...

Bioactivity Screening and Gene Activation Strategies in Fungi

Creator:: Coddington, Nathan C.
Abstract:: Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...

An Electrophysiological Study of Involuntary Attention Capture in a Go/No-go Paradigm

Creator:: Herdener, Nathan D.
Abstract:: The present study examined whether attention capture is driven by object saliency or contingent on top-down control setting using a go/no-go paradigm. Specifically, we investigated whether salient color singletons capture attention only when the target itself is also a singleton. We used a go/no-go task. Participants were told to search...

A study of public perceptions of energy issues and technology for the development of engineering education activities

Creator:: Hinkle, Nathan
Abstract:: Human use of fossil fuels has caused a dramatic shift in the earth’s environment, with global temperatures rising and ecosystem health declining. The need for the human species to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels is apparent. This will be achieved by replacing conventional energy resources with sustainable alternatives, and...

Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

Creator:: Harms, Nathan D.
Abstract:: T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

A Study of the Impact of Core Values on Leadership Development and Performance in Military Trainees

Creator:: Lausmann, Nathan R.
Abstract:: Organizational values are an important factor in the work of many organizations and can guide both day-to-day decision-making and long-term strategic planning. Little previous research has documented the impact of core values on individual performance in military environments nor the effect of core values on leadership attributes. In this study,...

Finite Element and Finite Difference Methods for Maxwell’s Equations in Metamaterials

Creator:: Stallcup, Isaac A.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we consider Maxwell's Equations and their numerical discretization using finite difference and finite element methods. We first describe Maxwell's equations in linear dielectrics and then present finite difference and finite element methods for this case. We then describe Maxwell's equations in linear metamaterials using the Lorentz and...
