Barriers to Weatherizing Low-Income, Rural Homes on the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Smith, Claire D.
Abstract:: Every year, hundreds of low-income families on the Oregon Coast are forced to choose between putting food on the table and paying the bills. A local, non-profit agency on the Oregon Coast is working to alleviate the level of crisis that many families face, by offering a holistic approach to...

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Chemical Modulation of MOF-74(Ni)

Creator:: Aldossary, Abdulrahman N.
Abstract:: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous material distinguished for high free empty volume and pore tunability. MOF-74(Ni) was previously shown to be effective in adsorbing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Microwave-assisted synthesis of MOF-74(Ni) was shown to lower reaction time from days to hours. In this thesis, experimental conditions of...

Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) and Agricultural Chemicals: Global to Micro Perspectives

Creator:: Bernert, Ann
Abstract:: Fungicide sensitivity of honey bee associated fungi Abstract - Honey bees are exposed to a wide range of pesticides while pollinating agricultural crops. These pesticides residues are found in beeswax, nectar and pollen in the hive. Some of the pesticides found are fungicides which are not generally considered harmful to...

Geographic variation in the seed mycobiome of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)

Creator:: Bergmann, Gillian E.
Abstract:: Seeds are an essential component of plant life histories, and seed endophytes have the potential to influence germination, seedling establishment and development. That said, seed endophytes are a relatively new area of study, both in the factors that influence which taxa are present and how these microbes alter plant function....

Improving Bioanalytical Methods of miRNA Analysis and its Applications to Breast Cancer

Creator:: Tran, Victoria
Abstract:: Micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNA) are becoming an increasingly popular topic of research in hopes of discovering newfound biomarkers and/or therapies for numerous types of cancers and diseases. MiRNA are a type of biomolecule contributing to the progression of multiple cancers and diseases, and such biomolecules are called biomarkers. Current RNA-based biosensors...

Self Assembly of GeO₂ Nanoparticles: A Biomimetic Approach

Creator:: Gessford, Makayla SueAnn Fu Ting
Abstract:: Diatoms are single celled eukaryotic microalgae that self-assemble complex SiO₂ nanostructures by sillafin proteins within their cell wall. There has been increasing interest in mimicking the diatom’s silica self-assembly process for fabricating metal oxide nanoparticles, namely germanium dioxide (GeO₂). GeO₂ has a higher refractive index than silica, enabling it to...

Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

Creator:: Casey, Jorie L.
Abstract:: Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

Development of a Bioluminescent Sensor of Isothiocyanates through Genetic Modification of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Validation on Crude Plant Materials

Creator:: Hogaboam, Octavia L.
Abstract:: Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by roots in a variety of agricultural plants, such as those within the Brassicaceae family. ITCs act as fumigants, and are used to control microbial plant pathogens by adding brassica-origin seed meal to soil prior to replanting. However, there is suggestion that the presence of residual...

Testing the effectiveness of the λ insulator in hybrid poplar

Creator:: Feng, Mu
Abstract:: Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to create plants with desired traits. However, there is unwanted variability in transgene expression due to enhancer-promoter interactions and the influence from genetic elements near the insertion site of the transgene, which integrates into a random location in the genome. In an attempt to reduce...

Beyond the attentional blink : An electrophysiological study of processing facial emotional expression

Creator:: Stewart, Alicia V.
Abstract:: Behavioral studies have observed facial recognition bypass attentional limitations when performed with non-facial recognition tasks (e.g., a digit task). Awh et al. (2004) proposed this was due to multi-channel processing, where non-facial objects utilize a feature-based channel leaving the configural-based channel available for facial processing. We tested this hypothesis using...
