Effects of Selenium Supplementation During Different Trimesters of Pregnancy on the Antibody Titer Against E. coli in Beef Cows at Parturition

Creator:: Rocha, Kylie
Abstract:: Background: Selenium’s (Se) effect on cattle health relies, in part, on the biosynthesis of selenoproteins (SEP), which in turn perform antioxidant activities and protect tissues against harmful mediators produced during infectious diseases. Selenoproteins comprise a small group of selenocysteine (Sec) containing proteins that are involved in redox homeostasis. Selenium supplementation...

Assessing Petal-cutting bees (Megachile sp.) usage of Clarkia amoena (Onagraceae) petals through the lens of iNaturalist and a Garden Experiment

Creator:: Mead, Mallory
Abstract:: Farewell-to-spring (Clarkia amoena) is native to the Pacific Northwest and commonly found in gardens, due to its aesthetic value and purported benefits to pollinators. Oregon and Washington are home to five subspecies of C. amoena, yet commercially available seed is limited to C. amoena ssp. lindleyi and C. amoena cultivars....

Investigating heartworm infection in dogs : combining publicly available dog testing data with mosquito surveillance

Creator:: Easterday, Megan
Abstract:: Oregon dogs are susceptible to heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic roundworm. D. immitis infects the cardiopulmonary system and reproduce within the animal, growing up to 30 cm. Dirofilaria repens is a filarial nematode that infects dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes, sea lions, and muskrats. It is also spread by mosquitos and...

Multiracial Identity Development: Parental Transmission, Belonging and Mental Health

Creator:: Nakamura-Daya, Hana J.
Abstract:: The present study explores the topic of Multiracial Identity Development and how parents play an important role in the identity development of children. The role of parents becomes crucial for parents of Multiracial children as they transmit cultural values, beliefs, language, and practices. Although models of racial identity development exist,...

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...

Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

Creator:: Julianna, Winding
Abstract:: Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

Developing a Method For Quantitation of Organic Acid Exometabolites Released By Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Grown Under Oral Cavity-like Conditions

Creator:: Akmal, Ryaan
Abstract:: Tooth decay in the form of dental caries and cavities is estimated to be among the most common health conditions globally, with treatment of these oral diseases resulting in a massive, world-wide economic burden. The cause of this demineralization of teeth is rooted in the action of complex microbial biofilms...

Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Ballantine, Kaleigh
Abstract:: The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...

Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

Creator:: Lee, Mikaela
Abstract:: Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...
