Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Development of Microfluidic Assays and Flow Control Tools on Porous Materials: Towards a Wound-Health Monitoring Device

Creator:: Downs, Corey J.
Abstract:: Remote health monitoring tools have significant potential to revolutionize the current healthcare paradigm. Such tools could improve efficiencies in healthcare by alerting patients and doctors to abnormal health conditions in real time, shortening the time to diagnose and treat ailments. To meet these needs, we pursue the development of fabric-based...

Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:: Swieca, Kelsey
Abstract:: Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...

Peak reconstruction of single particle mass spectrometry transient signals to recapture ion count and improve SNM ratio measurements

Creator:: Mannino, Mitchell
Abstract:: Quick and accurate measurements of nanoparticles have important applications in biology, environmental and non-proliferation areas. Calculation of isotopic ratios, particularly in special nuclear materials, has relied on integration of nanoparticle counts and limited the capability of counting minor isotopes. Rapid transient detection method of nanoparticles has demonstrated the effectiveness of...

Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

Creator:: Brawner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

Scale and Pattern: Delineating the Effects of Local to Regional Processes and Species Identity in Producing Multi-scale Responses of Macroalgae

Creator:: Spiecker, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Understanding and predicting how regional to global scale processes affect macroalgal populations and communities requires elucidating the mechanisms underlying observed patterns. This dissertation identifies some of the underlying mechanisms that produce complex multi-scale responses of macroalgae across space and time by delineating the role of key local environmental drivers and...

Hybridization of Non-Native Dune-Building Beachgrasses on the U.S. Pacific Northwest Coast: Characterization of Functional Morphology, Hybrid Swarm Composition, and Ecological Consequences of Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata

Creator:: Mostow, Rebecca S.
Abstract:: The rates of biological introductions and invasions are increasing, driving up the associated harms to ecosystems and economies. The spread and effects of invasive organisms depend on the specifics of the introduction, the character of the invaded ecosystem, and multiple traits of the invasive organism itself. One mechanism by which...

Empowering End Users to Mitigate Privacy and Security Risks in Smart-Home Trigger-Action Apps

Creator:: Saeidi, Mahsa
Abstract:: Many home users nowadays use various smart devices to improve the efficiency and convenience of their home environments. Trigger-action platforms such as “If-This-Then-That” (IFTTT) enable end users to connect different smart devices and services using simple apps to control these devices and automate the tasks (e.g., if the camera detects...

The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...
