  • From Microbes to Megafauna: The Ecology of Gut Microbiomes in Wild Herbivores

    Creator:
    Couch, Claire E.
    Abstract:
    All mammals host communities of commensal microbes in and on their bodies. Recent technological advances, combined with experimental studies in laboratory animals, are beginning to reveal the ubiquitous links between the gut microbiome and host disease, metabolism, immunity, and numerous other host functions. A new challenge of microbiome research is...

  • Assembly and Regulation of WW-PPXY Complexes in Hippo Signaling

    Creator:
    Baker, Kasie J.
    Abstract:
    The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. A key function of the pathway is to regulate the subcellular distribution and activity of Yorkie in Drosophila or Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in mammals. The dysregulation of the...

  • Characterizing Sediment Flux in Headwaters of the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Rose, Erik W.
    Abstract:
    Abstract Valleys of headwater channels in the Oregon Coast Range impound significant amounts of sediment, with the majority of deposits originating as debris flows. Headwater valleys function as transitional sedimentary reservoirs linking hillslope sources in active orogens to sinks in sedimentary basins, yet the residence time of deposits in the...

  • Platinum Nanoparticles in Transition Alumina: An Atomic Resolution Study of Interfaces

    Creator:
    Clauser, Arielle L.
    Abstract:
    The phases of transition alumina are scientifically interesting due to their high specific surface area, favorable acid/ base characteristics, and chemical and hydrothermal stability which make this metallic oxide a prime candidate for use as a support for metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in heterocatalysis. Interactions at alumina/Pt interfaces are important for...
