Paleoclimatic changes revealed by soil carbonate, and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes, Eastern Korinthia, Greece

Creator:: Bruno, Caroline R.
Abstract:: Soil carbonate is used to interpret paleoenvironmental conditions in the Eastern Korinthia, Greece, with the use of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes. The Eastern Korinthia consists of a series of marine terraces ranging in age from ~600 to 70.2 ka. The lateral stratigraphic context of the marine terraces allows the...

Repeat intercontinental dispersal and Pleistocene speciation in disjunct Mediterranean and desert Senecio (Asteraceae)

Creator:: Coleman, Max, Liston, Aaron, Kadereit, Joachim W., and Abbott, Richard J.
Abstract:: To explore the biogeographic history of Mediterranean/arid plant disjunctions, Old and New World Senecio sect. Senecio were analyzed phylogenetically using nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences (ITS). A clade corresponding to sect. Senecio was strongly supported. Area optimization indicated this clade to be of southern African origin. The Mediterranean and southern African...

Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

Creator:: Neill, Patrick
Abstract:: Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...

The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

Creator:: Song, Yang
Abstract:: Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...

Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Archer, Pamela Emily
Abstract:: Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

Oxidative stress and muscle dysfunction following anterior cruciate ligament surgery

Creator:: Barker, Tyler
Abstract:: Despite the advances in surgery, physical therapy, and pharmaceutical agents, muscle dysfunction (i.e., atrophy and weakness) continues to impair recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgery. Ischemia-reperfusion injury during surgery and the subsequent limb disuse are two events experienced by patients having ACL surgery. Oxidative stress and...

Linkages between mangrove forests and coral reefs : quantifying disturbance effects and energy flow between systems

Creator:: Granek, Elise F.
Abstract:: Interface habitats are considered valuable natural systems, tightly linked to adjacent habitats through the flow of matter and energy. However, there is limited research on mechanisms of connectivity such as movement of organisms and particulate matter and ways in which anthropogenic disturbance to interface habitats may affect immediate and adjacent...

Husbandry stress of Zebrafish, Danio rerio

Creator:: Ramsay, Jennifer Mara
Abstract:: Zebrafish, Danio rerio, are widely used as vertebrate research organisms yet little is know about their responses to husbandry stressors. This dissertation examined the whole-body cortisol responses of zebrafish to husbandry stress. Additionally, the effects of stress on the susceptibility to mycobacteriosis and microsporidiosis (Pseudoloma neurophilia) were determined including effects...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Two new roles for the TYMV tRNA-like structure : translation enhancement and repression of minus strand synthesis

Creator:: Matsuda, Daiki
Abstract:: Some positive-strand RNA plant viruses possess a transfer RNA-like structure (TLS) at the 3'-terminus of their genomic RNAs. The closest mimicry to tRNA is exhibited by the valylatable TLSs from tymoviruses and furo-like viruses, which are able to interact with key cellular tRNA enzymes: [CTP, ATP]:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (CCA NTase), valyl-tRNA...
