An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...
From the 1860s into the 1920s Edward Sylvester Morse (1838-1925) was a staunch advocate of Darwinian evolution and of science education in the U. S. and likewise for several years in Japan. He had a major impact on the American public’s understanding of evolution, both before and after he became...
This study aims to examine how people read and interpret scientific information, and how they respond to graphs and other data. It can be more broadly applied to help patients better understand information and statistics about certain disease conditions, such as cancer risk and diabetes treatment plans. One approach to...
On March 31, 2016 the Oregon State University Postdoctoral Association and the Oregon State University Libraries hosted an open access panel moderated by Pedro Molina-Sanchez. Speakers included Michaela Willi Hooper, Scholarly Communication Librarian at OSU Libraries; Rachael Kuintzle, PhD student in the OSU College of Science; Marit Bovbjerg, Faculty in...
President Kennedy's construction of civil religion, but more importantly, his morality and moral perception, enabled great success for the United states in the Cuban Missile Crisis and the evasion of nuclear catastrophe.
The Boulder Batholith and Elkhorn Mountains Volcanics (EMV) formed concurrently during shortening between ~85-76 Ma near the end of Mesozoic Cordillera arc magmatism. Together they represent an exceptionally well-preserved and voluminous record of continental arc magmatism. We report field and analytical results from studies of the EMV and Boulder Batholith...
The use of zebrafish in behavioral neuroscience is rapidly growing. Zebrafish can be assessed for alterations in multiple behavioral endpoints, creating opportunities to use this powerful model to identify chemicals that alter behavioral phenotypes. To evaluate the utility of zebrafish for neurotoxicity research, we designed custom instrumentation to evaluate numerous...
Vibrio cholerae (Vc), the etiological agent of cholera, has developed many mechanisms to combat the great fluctuations in pH, ion content and osmotic conditions of the vastly differing environments it encounters through its infections of the human host. A series of cation antiporters are found in the Vc membrane to...
Current protein immobilization techniques lack defined control over protein orientation. Protein orientation is important for making biosensors and biomaterials that are sensitive and efficient and can be crucial for designing some devices such as immunosensors or direct electron transferring biocells. A new method of protein immobilization is proposed that takes...
Sustainability initiatives in the library learning commons have long included paper and container recycling. But for those libraries that allow food consumption in study and learning spaces, collection of compostable food scraps and compostable food receptacles is not yet the norm. Tapping into the libraries’ core value of Sustainability, librarians...
Embryonic development, where organs and major structures begin to develop, requires precise coordination of numerous gene regulatory pathways. Fendrr is an long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a role in regulating gene expression in mesodermal tissues during early embryonic development in mouse. The lateral plate mesoderm (LPM) is an earlier...
Presentation as part of the session "Short Papers Panel: Diversity and Cultural Communities" at the 2016 annual Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) conference in Coral Gables, Florida, June 24, 2016. RBMS is a part of the Association of College & Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association.
Research in Dolan lab focuses primarily on the adaptive immune system and ways it can be better utilized to eliminate infected or transformed cells. Research focuses on the major histocompatibility (MHC) class I antigen presentation pathway, which plays an important role in alerting the immune system of the presence of...
Cystic ovarian disease (COD) is one of the main causes of infertility in dairy cattle and has a high economic impact on farmers. COD is caused by an endocrine imbalance within the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis which prevents the mature Graafian follicle from ovulating. The cause at the molecular level is not...
