Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

Creator:: Manning, Michael A.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...

Assessing the Impacts of the Red Imported Fire Ant on First-Generation Monarch Butterfly Reproductive Success in a Texas Coastal Prairie

Creator:: Sutherland, Remy C.
Abstract:: In recent years, monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) populations have declined at an alarming rate resulting in an extensive conservation effort across the species’ migratory range. One hypothesis for declining populations is decreased reproductive success during spring migration. The eastern monarch population’s first annual generation occurs in the early spring when...

The Biotransformation of Hop Aroma: An Exploration into Yeasts' Ability to Release Polyfunctional Thiols in Beer

Creator:: Molitor, Richard W.
Abstract:: The biotransformation of hop aroma via yeast is a prominent topic in the brewing industry with considerable interest placed on how yeast can enhance volatile thiol production during wort fermentation. Three potent thiols are known contributors to tropical qualities in wine and beer aroma, specifically 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA),...

Design, Experimental Testing, and Numerical Analysis of a Three-Story Mass Timber Building with a Pivoting Spine and Buckling-Restrained Energy Dissipators

Creator:: Araújo R., Gustavo A.
Abstract:: The engineering community is increasingly moving towards the design of seismic force-resisting systems that limit post-earthquake damage and reduce downtime to increase urban resiliency. For example, structural spines can be used to provide an elastic load path to impose a more uniform drift distribution with building height, thereby reducing the...

Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Cicekli, Zeynep
Abstract:: Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...

Genome Resource Development for Advancement of Corylus avellana Breeding

Creator:: Talbot, Samuel Corcoran
Abstract:: The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a tree nut crop that is important in Oregon, which produces 99% of the United States’ hazelnuts but only 5% of the world’s supply. In order to maintain this market share, farmers in Oregon need cultivars that produce high quality nuts, mature early,...

Effects of Whey Protein Consumption on Inflammatory Biomarker Levels in Healthy Older Adults

Creator:: Adler, Samuel
Abstract:: Whey protein’s potential for bioactivity is well documented, but there is disagreement on the extent to which it may modulate the immune system towards decreased inflammation. Decreased inflammation is generally perceived as a beneficial bioactivity in foods as excessive chronic inflammation is linked to morbidity and mortality. This thesis first...

Towards the Design and Evaluation of Effective Educational Virtual Reality Applications

Creator:: Rangarajan, Vaishnavi
Abstract:: With the rapid advancement of educational technology and the need for personalized, engaging content to accommodate diverse learning needs, Virtual Reality (VR) holds promises for the present and future. However, VR applications suffer from challenges, including usability concerns, lack of pedagogical value, and evaluation standards. This thesis focuses on two...

Impact of Hot Isostatic Pressing Parameters on Interface Evolution in Uranium Molybdenum Monolithic Plate Fuel

Creator:: Koziol, Adam
Abstract:: The monolithic (plate type) Uranium 10 wt.\% Molybdenum (U-10Mo) fuel system is promising for a variety of applications, most notably for the replacement of highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuels with low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel in United State High Performance Research Reactors (U.S. HPRRs). Phase transformations and secondary phase formation...

Rhyolitic Melt Production in the Midst of a Continental Arc Flare-Up - The Heterogenous Caspana Ignimbrite of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex of the Central Andes

Creator:: Lewis, Charles T.
Abstract:: The ~5 km3, 4.54 to 4.09 Ma Caspana Ignimbrite of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) of the Central Andes records the eruption of an andesite and two distinct rhyolitic magmas. It provides a unique opportunity to investigate the production of silicic magmas in a continental arc flare-up, where small volumes...
