The Effects of Wildfire on Soil Hydraulic Properties in an Appalachian Hardwood Forest

Creator:: Ruud, Danica R.
Abstract:: Wildfires can affect soil physical properties, resulting in changes in infiltration, hillslope runoff, groundwater recharge, and sediment and dissolved nutrients to streams. In November 2016, the Chimney Tops 2 Fire burned 4,617 ha of Appalachian hardwood forest in eastern Tennessee. A portion of the fire burned through a National Ecological...

Investigating Local Energy Compensation of Adjacent RNA Secondary Structures in the bpRNA-1m Database

Creator:: Cornwell-Arquitt, Robert L.
Abstract:: Non-coding ribonucleic acid (ncRNA) is of interest for its diverse roles in cell and viral biology. RNA molecules vary greatly in terms of size, structure, and function. In recent years, the modification of existing RNA structures has been used for biochemical methods of enormous impact including CRISPR and RNAi methods....

Transcription Factors Associated with Tomato Seed Germination

Creator:: Sun, Jing
Abstract:: Seed germination is strictly defined as the physiological events before radicle protrusion through the endosperm cap, the endosperm region adjacent to the radicle tip. There are two opposing forces governing seed germination: the growth potential of the embryo and the mechanical resistance of the endosperm cap. The endosperm cap cell...

Effects of Oxidative Stress on Circadian Gene Expression during Aging

Creator:: Bonar, Tara
Abstract:: All organisms possess circadian clocks, which generate daily oscillations in clock controlled gene expression that regulate many essential biological functions in synchrony with the 24-hour light/dark cycles. When the genes that control the internal clock are weakened, accelerated aging symptoms are observed. Past research in Drosophila demonstrated that aging flies...

Exploring health literacy factors that may affect breast and cervical cancer screenings in the Hmong population of Oregon

Creator:: Sahlberg, Claire E.
Abstract:: Hmong women in the United States have been shown to have low rates of breast and cervical cancer screening. The reasons behind these statistics are unclear. This study explored possible health literacy factors that may be affecting low screening rates for breast and cervical cancer in this population. A transcription...

Women in Transition: The Mexican Family, Migration, and the Mothers of Casa de los Angeles

Creator:: Richards, Rosalie A.
Abstract:: Women in Transition: The Mexican Family, Migration, and the Mothers of Casa de los Angeles is broken into three parts: methodology, history of migration and gender roles, and in Mexico, the examination of interviews from mothers in San Miguel de Allende. Methodology explores the various ways historian collect oral histories....

Expression Properties of Two Promoters During Callus and Shoot Development in Transgenic Poplar

Creator:: Brousseau, Anna G.
Abstract:: The Arabidopsis thaliana developmental promoters of WUSCHEL (WUS) and COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (CSP3) were tested for their suitability as potential control elements for the Cre-Lox recombination system in poplar cells. To remove the integrated transgene after CRISPR machinery has modified the genome, timely control of Cre is required....

Position-Dependent Codon Usage Bias in the Human Transcriptome

Creator:: Subramanian, Kaavya
Abstract:: All life depends on the reliable translation of RNA to protein according to complex interactions between translation machinery and RNA sequence features. While ribosomal occupancy and codon frequencies vary across coding regions, well-established metrics for computing coding potential of RNA do not capture such positional dependence. Here, we investigate position-dependent...

A History of the National Pygmy Goat Association

Creator:: Coneybeer, Jane K.
Abstract:: The National Pygmy Goat Association is a hobby livestock organization founded in 1975. Over the past five decades, it has grown in size and importance, occupying a niche role as the primary breed registry and certification authority for the smallest domestic ruminant. This history attempts to capture the scope of...
