Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

Creator:: Jayawickrama, Clare
Abstract:: Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

Investigating potential factors that impact aging in Drosophila melanogaster under blue light

Creator:: Sundaram, Subisha
Abstract:: Blue light exposure has been on the rise over the past several years as artificial light in the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been increasing. These LEDs emit predominantly blue light through TVs, computer monitors, smartphones, tablets etc. Previous research in our lab determined that blue light accelerated...

Investigating Potential Protective Mechanisms Against Long-Term Blue Light Damage

Creator:: Kumar, Rujul
Abstract:: Despite the prominence of LEDs in our society, we have limited knowledge pertaining to their long-term effects. These seemingly white LEDs have a large blue light component to them. Recent results have shown that Drosophila living in 12 hrs. of blue light and 12 hrs. of darkness live substantially shorter...

The Two Wells System: A Benchmark for Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Mechanics

Creator:: Sprueill, Henry
Abstract:: Computational statistical mechanics leans heavily on the class of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithms. Many such algorithms exist, and simulations can run for several weeks, making the selection of algorithms a difficult, but critical task. In this work, we introduce a benchmark system of two quadratic wells with an analytical...

The Economics of Electrifying Buildings in Corvallis: A Benefit-Cost Analysis on a Potential Corvallis Policy to Ban Natural Gas Infrastructure in New Residential Homes

Creator:: Grogan, Nolan B.
Abstract:: Over 76 cities throughout the United States have already adopted policies to limit the expansion of natural gas, mainly through updates to city codes that ban natural gas infrastructure in new construction. Rising concern over the environmental and public health impacts of methane - a greenhouse gas with a much...

Women's History Lessons for High School Social Studies Classes

Creator:: Mallery, Adah E.
Abstract:: Women’s history is often not included in K-12 classes. However, women are an essential part of American history and should be better represented in the K-12 curricula and classrooms. The purpose of this thesis is to both acknowledge that women’s history is often missing in K-12 classrooms and to provide...

Tendon Cell Viability: Validation of an Ex Vivo Model to Examine the Cellular Characteristics of Tendinopathy

Creator:: MacGregor, Ellie
Abstract:: Tendinopathy is characterized by injured or inflamed tendons and can be caused by long durations of strain or excessive tension being applied. Current treatments for tendinopathy may include physical therapy and pain management. However, these methods may not heal the tendon or restore it to its original healthy state. New...

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...

New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

Creator:: Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
Abstract:: The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

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...
