  • Future Human Evolution

    Creator:
    Horst, Donovon Emile and Quick, Devon
    Abstract:
    The Earth is warming at a seemingly unstoppable rate, a virus is ravaging the world, and international tensions are ever-present. This brings me to wonder, how will we survive in the future? And as an artist that question turns into: what will we look like in the future? Partnered with...

  • Hydrogeography of Cloudburst Flooding in the Himalaya

    Creator:
    Michelsen, Sonja
    Abstract:
    Even though cloudburst events in high mountain areas can be highly destructive and result in significant losses of life, little is known definitively about these flood events. An exact understanding of the driving processes, typical precipitation rates, and impacts of cloudburst events remain uncertain. This study seeks to advance knowledge...

  • Ecology and distribution of red crossbill call types in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Centanni, Caleb
    Abstract:
    Red Crossbills (Fringillidae: Loxia curvirostra), irruptive finches which feed on conifer seeds, have long presented an evolutionary conundrum. Variable morphology and vocalizations in the species can be classified into several flight call types, which may be discrete lineages. The key conifer hypothesis suggests that each type diverged by specializing on...

  • Evolution and Expression of TSR-domain proteins in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Tan, Kenneth
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic relationship between cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones, and dinoflagellates plays a crucial role in supporting the diversity and productivity of coral reefs. Critical to the symbiosis is the recognition process between host and symbiont at the onset of symbiosis, which involves the host innate immune system....

  • The Evolution: Electric Vehicles and the End of Oil Addiction

    Creator:
    Donahue, Cory
    Abstract:
    The world is currently using an unsustainable system of meeting its transportation needs with oil. This system is taking a toll on the world environment and on global politics. The physical availability of oil is the system’s most immediate problem and will most likely bring about a transition away from...

  • The ecology of disease and anthropogenic stressors in amphibians

    Creator:
    French, Kellie M.
    Abstract:
    We proposed to test the hypothesis that ecologically relevant concentrations of pesticide mixtures will increase susceptibility of metamorphic amphibians to a fungal pathogen known as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or Bd. Bd has received considerable attention as one of the causes of declining amphibian populations. We hypothesized that exposure to the contaminants...

  • Study on the Evolution and Expression of the Pyoverdine Receptor FpvA inPseudomonas aeruginosa

    Creator:
    Singh, Amandip
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium that is capable of causing infections in people who are immune compromised. The bacterium can live in a variety of environments due to the variety of virulence factors it can produce. It is well adapted to living in iron-stringent conditions because it can...

  • Solution method and error evolution of student responses to chain rule problems within a thermodynamics course

    Creator:
    Founds, Ian, W and Founds, Ian W.
    Abstract:
    Chain rules are critical to the process of solving many thermodynamics-related partial derivatives. This study evaluates the solution method and error evolution of students’ responses to a pair of chain rule problems in an upper-level undergraduate thermodynamics course. Students’ responses were categorized by solution method. Students’ solution methods included implicit...

  • Investigating polymer quantum mechanics : mathematical formulation, the particle on a ring, and time evolution

    Creator:
    Seibert, Basie S.
    Abstract:
    Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...
