  • Developing a protocol for producing multiple BYDV resistant wheat genotypes from a single transformational event

    Creator:
    Chang, Irena
    Abstract:
    Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is a damaging luteovirus disease responsible for reduced tillering, delayed heading, sterility, and stunting in many cereals worldwide. Well-characterized resistance genes to barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV) are scarce and genes conferring tolerance to BYDV are limited in wheat. In an attempt to generate plants with...

  • Machine learning approach to improve drug discovery in natural product extracts

    Creator:
    Heussner, Robert T.
    Abstract:
    Current natural product (NP) research is limited by its reliance on bioassay-guided fractionation to identify bioactive compounds in mixtures. Computational approaches may improve NP research by correlating mass spectra (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) of bioactive mixtures to their bioactivity patterns. In this study, I use artificial neural...

  • Characterizing PM2.5 with Different Source Contributions

    Creator:
    Perez, Allison Mae S.
    Abstract:
    Ubiquitous fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures significantly impact global public health, yet little is known about the mechanisms causing these known adverse health effects. Oxidative stress due to PM2.5 associated chemical constituents, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a proposed possible mechanism for PM2.5 mediated health effects. Variations in...

  • Examination of the Impact of One-Dimensional Crustal Structures on Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Locations

    Creator:
    Meyer, McKenzie S.
    Abstract:
    Multiple earthquake events have been recorded off the coast of Oregon, yet their locations have great uncertainty. The largest source of uncertainty is the simple models of the crust that are used to interpret seismic recordings. Because the relationship between earthquake locations and crust are diagnostic of tectonic activity, it...
