Mismatch Repair-Dependent Cellular Responses to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: An Investigation of Research Methods and Materials

Creator:: Wickramanayake, Anneka
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic chemical compounds found in the environment, largely as a result of partial combustion of organic compounds. PAHs are present in the atmosphere in populated cities worldwide. Because of the health risks they create, PAHs are a global health concern. PAHs are introduced into the...

Comparison of complete blood count and biochemistry panels between cats with and without clinically apparent feline upper respiratory tract disease

Creator:: Duke, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Feline upper respiratory tract disease (FURTD) is a complex syndrome that affects domestic cats, with clinical signs including general malaise, ocular and nasal discharge, and oral pathology. Our study compared the presence or absence of five common FURTD pathogens and routine blood parameters between 18 participating cats. Owners tended to...

Sequencing the Mitochondrial Genome of the Common Milkweed: Asclepias syriaca

Creator:: Edwards, Christopher A.
Abstract:: Few plant mitochondrial genomes have been published to date because of their structural complexity and difficulties in their physical isolation. Plant mitochondrial genomes are known to have a high level of heteroplasmy and can exist as several different circular or linear strands. Sequencing additional mitochondrial genomes will help to understand...

The effects of marine biodiversity loss on coastal economics

Creator:: McAbery, Emma
Abstract:: The oceans are one of humanity’s greatest resources, providing food, raw materials, livelihoods, and protection. More than 3 billion people around the world rely on marine life as a source of protein as well as their livelihood. Seafood is one of the highest traded commodities globally and many major cities...

Antibiotic Discovery in Soil Bacteria Isolated from Indonesian Black Water Ecosystems

Creator:: Lam, Phillip Westly
Abstract:: Soil bacteria are known to be a prolific source of bioactive compounds. They produce secondary metabolites that can be used as therapeutic agents. This investigation focused on the chemistry and biology of secondary metabolites from two soil bacteria, Streptomyces herbaricolor ICBB 9409 and Streptomyces albiflaviniger ICBB 9297, which were isolated...

The Secret Life of Estuaries: Phytoplankton-determined Seasonality of Particulate Organic Carbon in Cathlamet Bay and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Shumway, David O.
Abstract:: This study investigated the composition and character of organic matter on suspended particulate material (SPM) in the Columbia River estuary system to determine the contribution of biological activity in lateral bays to the greater nutrient cycle of the river. Water samples were collected during neap and spring tidal forcing (25...

Effects of Oxidative Stress on Circadian Gene Expression during Aging

Creator:: Bonar, Tara
Abstract:: All organisms possess circadian clocks, which generate daily oscillations in clock controlled gene expression that regulate many essential biological functions in synchrony with the 24-hour light/dark cycles. When the genes that control the internal clock are weakened, accelerated aging symptoms are observed. Past research in Drosophila demonstrated that aging flies...

Evaluating the Toxicity of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Zebrafish

Creator:: Britsch, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: Flame retardants are in many home products including couches, chairs, and electronics. The most commonly used flame retardants contained polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) until 2004, when the majority of these chemicals were phased out. PBDEs were found to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Organophosphate...

Characterization and spatial distribution of particulate organic matter in the Arctic Ocean

Creator:: Corvi, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Water samples from the Arctic Ocean were analyzed in order to assess the present nature of particulate organic matter and investigate the effect of climate-driven changes on the ecology of the region. 661 individual surface water samples and 216 samples from CTD casts were collected from the Bering, Chukchi, and...

Analysis of Mercury Content in Dried Urine of Individuals with Amalgam Fillings Through theUtilization of Direct Mercury Analysis

Creator:: Kapur, Suchit
Abstract:: Mercury exposure is widely common throughout the world, ranging from sources such as dental amalgams, fish and seafood consumption, industrial mining, and medicine. A straightforward, efficient, and affordable protocol to measure urine mercury content would greatly contribute to assessing one’s mercury exposure and in categorizing populations that are more vulnerable...
