Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

Creator:: Anderson, Aaron G.
Abstract:: Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...

Just a tool after all? No evidence for tool-use effects on the body representation across virtual and real environments

Creator:: Bell, Joshua D.
Abstract:: While human tool-use proficiency helped define our history, the cognitive and perceptual mechanics of how humans use tools are not fully understood. This question is of great value to the design of hand-held tools and prosthetics. A prominent theory, tool embodiment, suggests that tool use is facilitated by a flexible...

The Evolution of Software Entropy in Open Source projects: An Empirical Study

Creator:: Mannan, Umme Ayda
Abstract:: Software entropy impacts the overall quality of software systems. High entropy hinders developers from understanding the purpose of a piece of code and can cause developers to make sub-optimal changes and introduce bugs. Researchers have used entropy scores to measure the naturalness of code. However, thus far, no one has...

Mass Spectrometry-based Analysis of Superwarfarins and their Metabolites and the Investigation of Novel Treatments for Poisoned Victims

Creator:: Nosal, Daniel Grzegorz
Abstract:: Superwarfarins are anticoagulant rodenticides that are 100 times more potent and 15 times more persistent than warfarin. They have been used since the 1980s and cause over 10,000 cases of accidental and intentional poisonings per year. Apart from inducing uncontrollable bleeding, by inhibiting the vitamin K cycle, superwarfarins can disrupt...

Evaluating Qualitative Research on Alzheimer’s Disease Patients’ Experiences for Rigor and Social Justice Best Practices

Creator:: Lusk, Michael
Abstract:: This dissertation is organized in accordance to the Manuscript Documentation Dissertation format required by Oregon State University. Chapter 1 provides a general overview of Alzheimer’s disease, defines AD as marginalized population, and explains the relevance and characteristics of qualitative research. Also, Chapter 1 provides an overview of Manuscript 1 (Chapter...

Context matters : assembly and disorder in the regulation of multivalent complexes

Creator:: Jara, Kayla A.
Abstract:: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), protein regions (IDRs), and protein complexes continue to emerge at the forefront of protein science. Proteins and protein regions lacking specific structure are found in all organisms, and often have vital roles in numerous biological processes. Breaking the well-known structure-function paradigm, the understanding of disorder-based functionality...

Continued exploration of barley genotype contribution to beer flavor and the application of this knowledge to variety development and release

Creator:: Morrissy, Campbell P.
Abstract:: Investigation on barley genotype contribution to beer flavor is a relatively new area of research but has interest from members of the malting barley supply chain. This body of work builds upon previous studies by approaching it from new angles that further supports the malting and brewing industries’ interests around...

Western Diet-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): The Impact of Time on the Onset and Remission of Disease

Creator:: Spooner, Melinda H.
Abstract:: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an accumulation of neutral lipids in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol esters accounting for >5% of liver weight. Excess neutral lipids accumulate in large lipid droplets, i.e., macrosteatosis, displacing the nucleus of cells. Current theory suggests neutral lipid accumulation is the...

Exploring Silicone Wristbands as Personal Passive Sampling Devices in a Disaster Scenario

Creator:: Samon, Samantha M.
Abstract:: Exposure assessment is necessary to determine the frequency and magnitude of environmental contaminants, especially since exposure may lead to adverse health outcomes. Traditional personal exposure assessment tools such as biological samples are limited in their ability to capture a wide range of chemical exposures from a single sample, and others...

Influence of Concrete and Construction Parameters on Chloride Test Measurements and Critical Chloride Threshold Limits

Creator:: Vaddey, Naga Pavan
Abstract:: The issue of chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete and its economic impacts are well-known. Chlorides that cause reinforcement corrosion can be from constituent materials used to prepare concrete or can enter the hardened concrete when the structure is exposed to chloride environments. To minimize the risk of reinforcement...
