Differential Allele Expression of SOD1 in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:: Carolla, Samantha M.
Abstract:: The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata serves as the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. Previous studies using the 13-16-R1 strain of B. glabrata demonstrated an association between the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and susceptibility/resistance to the parasite. This association is assumed to involve a polymorphism that...

Epifaunal density differences on coralline algae compared to fleshy algae in the Yachats, Oregon intertidal community

Creator:: Gani, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification has led to many issues regarding the decline of calcifying organisms, such as coralline algae. Acidified sea water inhibits precipitation of CaCO3 that affects the structure and growth of coralline algae. Therefore, non-calcifying algae may outcompete calcifying algae in the intertidal systems with future acidic ocean condition. Variety...

Freezing a Softly Repulsive Fluid : Monte Carlo Methods and the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen Potential

Creator:: May, Christopher
Abstract:: The equation of state for a fluid described by the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) potential was solved to determine at what pressures and temperatures the fluid will theoretically freeze. A Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm was used to sample a system of 256 spheres for a set of thermodynamic averages to locate and...

Winning through Compromise? An Examination of Bipartisanship and Electability

Creator:: Ellingson-Cosenza, Elena J.
Abstract:: In America’s polarized politics, the language that congresspeople use matters. This thesis examines the use of bipartisan communications—in tweets and press releases—of members of the US House of Representatives as an electoral strategy for representatives in districts of varying competitiveness. A linear regression was conducted to analyze the relationship between...

Analysis and Modeling of Kinetic Parameters for Urea Hydrolysis by Bacteria for Use in Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Aquifers

Creator:: Neighbor, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The use of ureolytic bacteria for the remediation of contaminated groundwater aquifers by inducing calcium carbonate precipitation is being studied in order to establish a better understanding of the modeling and prediction of how the bacteria will act in situ. This research has pursued the use of various ureolytic bacteria...

Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

Creator:: Lindsley, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....

Carbon isotopes show snowpack acts as a valuable moisture subsidy to mountain forests in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Ratcliff, Christopher J.
Abstract:: This study examines climatological influences, particularly that of snowpack, on tree growth and stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ¹³C) from ~1980 to 2013 at two sites located in the upper reaches of the McKenzie River watershed of the Oregon Cascade Mountains. We tested the use of Δ¹³C values from latewood, corroborated...

Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

Creator:: Mangan, Emily R.
Abstract:: Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

Creator:: Bai, Daniel Helin
Abstract:: One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...
