Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

Creator:: Capek, Elliott L.
Abstract:: Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...

Simulating the Dynein Motor Protein: A Monte Carlo Approach to Achieve Coordinated Stepping

Creator:: Kiatvongcharoen, Jin
Abstract:: The motor protein dynein is responsible for cellular processes such as axonal transport and cell division by delivering vital information along the microtubule track. A failed delivery can cause severe damage to the cell’s functionality and lead to neurological diseases. Despite dynein’s rich history in cellular research, the mechanism of...

A Dysfunctional System: Policy Recommendations for the Adult (18-65) Homeless and Severely Mentally Ill Population in Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Donielle F.
Abstract:: Adults with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are overrepresented in the homeless population, and Oregon’s homeless population has expanded in recent years. In the 1950s, the mentally ill were moved out of the state hospitals and into the community. However, due to a lack of support services in the...

A Nascent Helix in Dynein Intermediate Chain is Essential for Regulating Dynein/Dynactin Complexes

Creator:: Saravanan, Sanjana
Abstract:: Cytoplasmic dynein is a motor protein complex found in eukaryotes that is essential to many cellular processes. With dynein being involved in mitosis, axonal transport and organelle transport, disruption of dynein function can lead to neurodegeneration and other diseases. The main function of dynein is transportation of cargo through the...

Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

Creator:: Molotkov, Alexander
Abstract:: The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

Land Use Impacts on Water Quality in Oak Creek Watershed

Creator:: Johnson, Keira R.
Abstract:: Understanding the relationships between land use, water quality, and groundwater is crucial for ecological, economic, and water management decisions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the land use activities and hydrologic processes influencing the water quality of Oak Creek watershed. Objectives of this study were: 1) to...

Using TEM to Evaluate the Importance of the Microbiome and Virome Between Fire Corals and Scleractinian Corals

Creator:: Duke, William C.
Abstract:: As important ecological cornerstones, coral reefs face threats from a myriad of sources, such as global climate change, and importantly, disease, the latter often as a result of microbial pathogens. An understudied group of major corals, fire corals, and their even less understood microbiome present an opportunity to learn more...

Retention Capacity of Biochar Infiltration Columns for Escherichia coli

Creator:: Lesch, Samantha
Abstract:: With a growing demand for renewable sources of freshwater around the world, stormwater offers a potential solution. However, various pollutants can be present within stormwater, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, that present a danger to human health if stormwater is used for agricultural purposes. Biochar has the capability to remove bacteria...

Response of Stream Macroinvertebrate Community to Canopy-opening Manipulations

Creator:: Mackaness, Cedar
Abstract:: Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...
