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...

Solutions to Water Resource and Environmental Challenges : Perspectives from the Agricultural Community in the Crooked River Watershed

Creator:: Busick, Brytann
Abstract:: This research explores how an agriculture-based community in the Crooked River Watershed of Central Oregon responds to a series of water resource and environmental challenges, some associated with projected climate change, amid increasing pressure to change management practices to better accommodate environmental needs. A key part of this research assesses...

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...

Small secreted proteins of pyrenophora tritici-repentis and their role in wheat Infection

Creator:: Hernandez, Jason, Manning, Viola, Pandelova, Iovanna, and Ciuffetti, Lynda M.
Abstract:: Host-selective toxins (HSTs) secreted by the pathogenic isolate of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, BFP, are major pathogenicity factors in tan spot disease of wheat. Along with characterized HSTs such as Ptr ToxA (ToxA), BFP secretes at least two more uncharacterized toxic components. In an attempt to identify these additional components, 12 candidate...

Ingestion of Microplastics in the Juvenile Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from Oregon Coastal Sampling Sites

Creator:: Arnold, Madison A.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk. There are currently gaps in the microplastic literature regarding microplastic data from finfish...

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...

Measuring Low Intensity Light Reflections of High Temperature CO₂ Adsorbed on SiO₂ Near Brewster's Angle

Creator:: Ferron, Thomas J.
Abstract:: This investigation expands on earlier methods of using surface polarization reflection (SPR) to characterize the first few monolayers of a surface. Past research measured intensities of light reflecting off an SiO₂ optical flat inside a vacuum. Pressure of applied gas was changed to view a change in reflection. In an...
