  • Exploring phylogeny of Rhodococcus fascians isolates using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis

    Creator:
    Sandberg, Eva Song
    Abstract:
    Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

  • The Identification of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi subsp. americana from Portland Elms

    Creator:
    Au, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Dutch elm disease (DED) is a disease of elm trees caused by three species of Ascomycota fungi: Ophiostoma ulmi, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, and Ophiostoma himal-ulmi. There are also two subspecies of O. novo-ulmi: subsp. americana and subsp. novo-ulmi. The pathogen is spread by bark beetles, which inhabit and traverse different elms....

  • Spectral Analysis of Upper Ocean Surface Wave Structure using χSOLO Floats in the Bay of Bengal

    Creator:
    Ball, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Surface waves play a vital role in air-sea interactions, and being able to easily measure them in-situ validates and improves predictive models. Here, we diagnose surface wave properties in the Bay of Bengal using modified vertical SOLO II profiling floats, which are regularly used as part of the Argo ocean...

  • Effects of low zinc status and arsenic exposure in mice

    Creator:
    Chase, Tyler, Wong, Carmen P., and Ho, Emily
    Abstract:
    During fall term of 2015 and winter and spring term of 2016 I assisted in research within Dr. Emily Ho’s lab. The project that I assisted in looked at the effects of low zinc status and arsenic exposure in mice. Zinc is an essential micronutrient involved in numerous cellular processes...

  • Efficacy of the Wellness Focused “Be Orange Challenge” with Tracking to Promote Healthy Behavior Change

    Creator:
    Miller, Aimee S.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: Many programs are available to engage people in health-promoting behaviors or behavior change, but most target specific behavior outcomes (e.g., weight loss, smoking cessation) rather than wellness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a tracking-based health challenge focused on overall wellness, with or without peer support. Methods:...

  • Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

    Creator:
    Vasudevan, Anusha
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

  • The Effect of Zinc Status and Age on Liver Health in Mice

    Creator:
    Braun, Kendra N.
    Abstract:
    Age-related diseases have been associated with chronic inflammation and impaired immune response, one of the hallmarks of aging. Aging individuals also have a higher susceptibility to zinc deficiency. The effects of zinc deficiency share many commonalities with the effects of aging on the immune system and zinc deficiency may be...

  • Using Photovoice to Capture Oregon State University Student Stories

    Creator:
    Baboyan, Claire
    Abstract:
    One of the main ways that one can accurately gain knowledge of the experiences of students on a college campus is to talk to the students themselves. In this study, we used Photovoice, a participatory action approach, to help better understand the experiences of the students at Oregon State University...

  • Arsenic and Zinc Deficiency Induced Changes in Pancreatic Beta Cells

    Creator:
    Cao, Annie L.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic beta cells produce and release insulin, a vital hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, and their dysfunction contributes to the development of diabetes mellitus. Dietary zinc deficiency and exposure to the toxicant inorganic arsenic have both independently been associated with diabetes, although the effects of their combination on pancreatic...

  • Gene expression of four carbonic anhydrase paralogs across the symbiotic states of the model temperate sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt 1835)

    Creator:
    Meier, Emily K.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are shifting the global climate equilibrium, causing widespread losses in biodiversity. Anthozoan cnidarians are some of the species most vulnerable to environmental change. Environmental stress causes corals and sea anemones to expel their endosymbiotic algae, which constitute a primary source of nutrition for some Anthozoa. Carbonic anhydrase...
