Gastrointestinal Parasitism and Mercury in Pacific Walrus

Creator:: Sweitzer, Danielle N.
Abstract:: The Pacific Walrus population that lives within the Chukchi Sea near Alaska and the Russian territory Siberia have traditionally held a diet composed of molluscs and benthic invertebrates, with the main dietary choice being clams or other bivalves. Due to global warming, the availability of stable ice resting surfaces has...

Effects of age and military service on memory and cognitive flexibility in a virtual Morris water maze task

Creator:: Mollusky, Adina J.
Abstract:: This study applied a virtual version of the Morris water maze (vMWM) task to an examination of age-related differences between younger and older participants, and the impact of prior military service in older men on spatial memory and cognitive flexibility. Participants performed the Logical Memory task that included immediate and...

Practices to Reduce Physician-Family Conflict during Surrogate Decision Making

Creator:: Polte, Katherine P.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to investigate the reasons for discordance in the physician-family relationship, to explore how to improve that relationship, and to develop a set of practices to help prevent conflicts. The research was done by analyzing research on surrogate decision making, conflicts surrounding end of life, and case studies....

Insight into the regulation of quorum sensing antiactivator genes qteE and qslA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Lawless, Finn
Abstract:: Ubiquitous pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa coordinates population-wide activation of virulence genes through quorum sensing (QS), where individuals transition from solo to social behaviors to benefit the population. QS is complex and mechanisms vary from species to species, but the concept is common to the bacterial world and has implications in various...

Public Cognitions and Emotions Associated with Ocean Acidification and Sea Star Wasting Disease: An Exploratory Study in Oregon

Creator:: Insinga, Maia L.
Abstract:: Marine environments provide services for ecosystems and humans, but face many threats, including sea star wasting disease (SSWD) and ocean acidification (OA). Biological research on these threats is abundant, but there has been limited research examining the human dimensions of these threats. This thesis contains two standalone articles that explore...

Advanced Solvent Purification Process Design using Aspen HYSYS and Feasibility Studies

Creator:: Meeuwsen, Rachel M.
Abstract:: High purity isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is utilized in silicon wafer manufacturing in cleaning and drying processes. With the ever-decreasing die size, there is an increased need for even higher purity chemicals. This process was designed to further purify a 250,000 lbs/month stream high purity isopropyl alcohol stream for use in...

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

Creator:: Le, Vivian T.
Abstract:: The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...

Differences in expression of COVID-19 related inflammatory genes in non-human primates with varying alcohol consumption

Creator:: Co, Amber
Abstract:: Severe cases of COVID-19 have been associated with cytokine storms, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to play a role in liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease. To investigate alcohol consumption as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severity,...

A Comparative Analysis of U.S. News Media Coverage on Masks between the 1918 Influenza and COVID-19 Pandemics

Creator:: Nguyen, Mindy
Abstract:: Over 100 years separate the 1918 Influenza and COVID-19 pandemics, and a multitude of science, public health and communication advancements have emerged. With the COVID-19 pandemic still underway, recently reaching the one million death mark in the United States alone (CDC, 2020), researchers are searching for clues as to how...

Importance of TLR2 and TLR4 signaling against M. abscessus infection of macrophages and use of mycobacteriophage genomics toward understanding some of the aspects of phage therapy

Creator:: Kapoor, Hannah A.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Even with long-term treatment with multiple antibiotics, MAB pulmonary infections have high rates of treatment failure. Within the host, MAB is phagocytosed by key innate immune cells macrophages. The TLR2 and TLR4 are two critical...
