Prunus laurocerasus: A Study of Reducing Gamete Development through Haploidy and Determining Cytotype Variability in Pollen

Creator:: Seely, James T.
Abstract:: Prunus laurocerasus, commonly known as cherrylaurel, is a woody shrub grown in temperate climates for its durability and landscape appeal. Due to its abundance of drupes that are spread by birds, cherrylaurel is a litter nuisance in cultivation and also has escaped cultivation such that it has naturalized. Furthermore, it...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Hemolysis Potential in a Microfluidic Hemoperfusion Device Designed for Use in Sepsis Treatment

Creator:: Myers, Karl N.
Abstract:: The potential of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet damage was studied for a novel microfluidic hemoperfusion device currently in development at Oregon State University for use in treating sepsis. COMSOL 4.4's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module was used to examine shear rate profiles in laminar, Newtonian blood flow throughout...

How sweet is the land? Modeling caloric landscapes for tropical hummingbirds

Creator:: Birkett, Christina Nozomi and Birkett, Nozomi Fukui
Abstract:: Pollination is a critical ecosystem function for sustaining biodiversity. However, pollinators and the services they provide are threatened by landscape-altering anthropogenic activities across the globe. Habitat loss and fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, chemical use, and urbanization have been shown to impact pollination. Pollinator foraging behavior is thought to be...
