  • DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

    Creator:
    Kernan, Casey P.
    Abstract:
    DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...

  • Effect of Fire Severity on Forest Development in a Mature Douglas-fir Forest in Western Oregon

    Creator:
    Hidzick, Maxim S.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires can create alternative pathways for forest development, and wildfires have expanded in size, frequency, intensity, and severity across the western United States. The purpose of this paper is to compare forest development of a mature Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon across fire severities. Postburn field measurements were collected in...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...

  • Effects of gluten composition and molecular weight distribution on the noodle making potential of hard white wheats

    Creator:
    Ong, Yee-Ling
    Abstract:
    A set of flour samples with protein content ranging from 9.7 - 13.3 % was used for this study to evaluate the effectiveness of HMW-GS, SEHPLC and mixograph characteristics as screening tools for noodle texture. The sample set had a large variation in HMW-GS composition with Payne score ranging from...

  • The Crystal Structure of the Potential Drug Target Mycoplasma pneumoniae Glycerol 3-Phosphate Oxidase

    Creator:
    Palioca, Callia K.
    Abstract:
    Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired pneumonias, including what is commonly known as walking pneumonia. This disease affects people from all demographics, but especially children and older adults. Outbreaks are a significant public health concern and work to develop new pharmacological agents is currently being researched. How M....

  • Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

    Creator:
    Steiner, Samantha K.
    Abstract:
    Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

  • Gene Structure and Expression of the Rice S-Domain Kinase (SD-RLK) Gene Subfamily

    Creator:
    Dikeman, Daemon
    Abstract:
    The S-domain subfamily of receptor-like kinases (SD-RLKs) in plants is poorly characterized and the majority of genes have unknown functions. The goal of this study was to study the expansion of rice (Oryza sativa) SD-RLK subfamily, and characterize gene and protein structure and expression of its members using publicly available...

  • Statistical methods for assessing the likelihoods of fault rupture scenarios in earthquakes

    Creator:
    Tallan, Katherine S.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake rupture scenarios are important tools for understanding the nature of plate movement and patterns in seismic activity. The creation and assessment of these rupture scenarios rely heavily on geologic reasoning and principles applied to earthquake event data. This reliance introduces a certain amount of subjectivity to the rupture scenario...

  • Investigating the Role of the MutLα Endonuclease

    Creator:
    Mankaney, Gautam Naresh
    Abstract:
    Lynch individuals have a predisposition to developing colorectal and other cancers due to inherited defects in their mismatch repair (MMR) system. Although mutations in MMR have been directly implicated in Lynch Syndrome, the precise mechanism(s) of MMR functions have yet to be elucidated. One essential complex, MutL (a dimer of...
