Student Understanding and Generalization of Functions from Single to Multivariable Calculus

Creator:: Kerrigan, Sarah
Abstract:: Students struggle with the concept of functions and the notation associated with it in various mathematical contexts. This thesis investigates student understanding of function notation through their generalization of single variable functions to multivariable functions in a variety of situations. Semi-structured student interviews were conducted and analyzed through a framework...

Investigating Relationships between Outdoor Recreation Activities, EnvironmentalWorldviews, and Place of Residence

Creator:: Finn, Elliott Chad
Abstract:: Some evidence suggests a connection between outdoor recreation participation and stronger environmental worldviews. This study finds little evidence supporting participation in outdoor recreation activities and stronger environmental worldviews and some evidence supporting a weak connection between appreciative outdoor recreation and stronger environmental worldviews. Additionally, the study documents greater participation in...

Importance of TLR2 and TLR4 signaling against M. abscessus infection of macrophages and use of mycobacteriophage genomics toward understanding some of the aspects of phage therapy

Creator:: Kapoor, Hannah A.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Even with long-term treatment with multiple antibiotics, MAB pulmonary infections have high rates of treatment failure. Within the host, MAB is phagocytosed by key innate immune cells macrophages. The TLR2 and TLR4 are two critical...

Perceptions of Sexual Health Websites by Low Income Urban African American Youth and Service Providers

Creator:: Williams, Dacia R.
Abstract:: Low-Income urban African American (LIU-AA) youth are at high risk for HIV/STIs and adolescent pregnancy. Sexual health websites (SHWs) offer an inexpensive, easy-to-disseminate, and potentially highly-accessible method of improving sexual health knowledge, awareness, and help-seeking. The present study examined engagement regarding sexual health websites for at-risk, LIU-AA youth. We conducted...

Characterizing the Interaction between BCL11B and TCF-1 transcription factors in the control of the BCL-xL gene

Creator:: Nagra, Alamjit K.
Abstract:: Immature T cells, known as thymocytes, undergo development through successive stages in the thymus and the periphery to become functional mature T cells. These stages are regulated by sequence specific transcription factors (SSTFs). Two such SSTFs, BCL11B and TCF-1, are both known master regulators of thymopoiesis, which is also known...

Appraisals of Military Service, PTSD, and Functional Health of Vietnam Combat Veterans: Findings from the VALOR Study

Creator:: Zinn, Alexandra D.
Abstract:: Previous research on WWII veterans in their 70’s and 80’s has shown that positive and negative appraisals of military service mediate between combat exposure and PTSD symptoms in late life. This thesis extends this research in two ways, first by determining how these variables relate to functional health in later...

A Rationale for Improving Childhood Nutrition: A Program to Enhance the Health of Families Experiencing Food Insecurity in Benton County

Creator:: Wilsey, Anna M.
Abstract:: Food insecurity is a growing public health concern in Oregon. Those that are food insecure often develop strategies, such as reducing the size of meals, cutting out fruits, vegetables and meats or skipping meals entirely, to make food last. One group that is disproportionately affected by food insecurity is families....

An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

Creator:: Payne, Bryce M.
Abstract:: Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....

Contribution of native plasmids to fitness of Pantoea vagans C9-1, a biological control agent for fire blight of apple and pear

Creator:: Klein, Jeannie M.
Abstract:: Pantoea vagans C9-1 (C9-1) is a biological control agent sprayed onto apple and pear trees during bloom for suppression of fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Prior bioinformatics studies of C9-1 focused on predicted phenotypes associated with the three native megaplasmids, pPag1, pPag2, and pPag3, and...
