An Increase in the Association of GluN2B Containing NMDA Receptors with Membrane Scaffolding Proteins Was Related to Memory Declines during Aging

Creator:: Zamzow, Daniel R., Elias, Valerie, Shumaker, Michelle, Larson, Cameron, and Magnusson, Kathy R.
Abstract:: The NMDA receptor is an important component of spatial working and reference memory. The receptor is a heterotetramer composed of a family of related subunits. The GluN2B subunit of the NMDA receptor appears to be essential for some forms of memory and is particularly vulnerable to change with age in...

Terra Cubes Design Final Technical Report: Design of a Modular Bioretention System for Nitrate, Phosphate and Herbicide Treatment

Creator:: Evans, Lucas, Larson, Lars, Debell, Thomas, and Dunstan, Nicholas
Abstract:: Plant nurseries comprise the largest agricultural sector in Oregon at nearly $1 billion per year. Even at this scale, individual nurseries and greenhouses do not have clear water quality standards set by the EPA. Watershed-level total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) have been set for excess nutrients and herbicides due to...

Examining the Validity of Behavioral Self-Regulation Tools in Predicting Preschoolers' Academic Achievement

Creator:: Schmitt, Sara A., Pratt, Megan E., and McClelland, Megan M.
Abstract:: The current study investigated the predictive utility among teacher-rated, observed, and directly assessed behavioral self-regulation skills to academic achievement in preschoolers. Specifically, this study compared how a teacher report, the Child Behavior Rating Scale, an observer report, the Observed Child Engagement Scale, and a direct assessment, the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders task, relate...

Strengthening school readiness for children at risk : evaluating self-regulation measures and an intervention using classroom games

Creator:: Schmitt, Sara A.
Abstract:: In recent years, self-regulation has emerged as a foundational skill for academic success and well-being. Unfortunately, many children enter kindergarten without the self-regulation skills necessary to succeed. Children from high-risk backgrounds (e.g., low-income) are particularly vulnerable for difficulties in self-regulation development. Given these documented gaps in self-regulation, it has become...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...

Directing ecological succession : the role of competition in restoring semi-arid grasslands dominated by invasive plants

Creator:: Mangla, Seema
Abstract:: Successful ecosystem restoration requires an understanding of the ecological processes directing succession. One of the challenges in the semi-arid grasslands of western United States is replacement of native species by invasive annual grasses. Solutions to this problem require identifying and manipulating ecological processes that direct succession to favor desired vegetation....

Environmental Factors Affecting Phytophthora Root Rot of Rhododendron

Creator:: Mestas, Angie
Abstract:: Phytophthora root rot decreases availability and quality of rhododendrons produced in the USA. Symptoms of Phytophthora root rot include root necrosis, leaf chlorosis, stunting, and permanent wilt. The purpose of this thesis was to better understand the impact of root damage, soil moisture, nitrogen fertilizer application, and pathogen species on...

Characterizing Rhythms in Circadian Gene Expression Following Chronic Binge-Like Alcohol Drinking in HDID Mice

Creator:: Batish, Tanvi
Abstract:: Mammals exhibit circadian rhythms in several physiological processes controlled by a core set of circadian genes that make up the so-called molecular clock. Disruptions in these rhythms, and variations in circadian genes, are associated with the development of psychiatric disorders, including addiction. However, the effect of chronic binge-like alcohol drinking...

Weeds With a Purpose: Interseeding Cover Crops into Sweet Corn in Western Oregon

Creator:: Donaldson, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can occur when the crop is still in the field, cover crops may not be able to be planted, due to...

Water, energy, and ecosystem services : a study of businesses in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hunter, Maria Lewis
Abstract:: This study uses interviews with 18 businesses in Oregon's Willamette Valley to explore business investment in the environment, and how this relates to ecosystem services, payment for ecosystem services programs, and the water-energy nexus. Our research led us to outline 5 factors that influence business investment in the environment, those...
