The Altruism-Empathy-Perspective Connection: A Case Study of Human-Wildlife Interactions at Cintimini Wildlife Rehabilitaion Center, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Freed, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: In the realms of psychology and sociology two new theoretical models have arisen to describe the forces influencing altruistic human behavior. The first Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis (EAH), by C.D. Batson. The second is the Conceptual Continuum of Altruism (CCA), by K.R. Monroe. Both models have proven to be highly useful in...

Identification of a Bioactive Aryl Ether from a South African Tunicate

Creator:: White, Cora L.
Abstract:: Chemical compounds produced by organisms, or natural products, are excellent sources of inspiration for anticancer pharmaceutical discovery (Rodrigues et al., 2016). Microtubule targeting agents are a specific class of compounds, often discovered from natural sources, that have been developed as clinically successful anticancer therapies (Steinmetz and Prota, 2018). In the...

Oxidation Energies of Chromium and Tungsten Substituted Ni (111) Surfaces

Creator:: Roth, Anika
Abstract:: The corrosion and heat resistance properties of nickel alloys are hallmarks of their importance in infrastructure and industrial catalysis processes, but these properties are highly dependent on the chemical composition of the alloy surface. Density functional theory was used for analysis of surface oxidation of four combinations of chromium and...

Estimating harvest rates to assess the efficacy of marine reserves in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands

Creator:: Yamane, Mark T.
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are used in ecosystem-based management (EBM) to increase the abundance and biomass of targeted species and protect their ecosystems by restricting certain human activities. Marine reserves (i.e. no-take MPAs) aim to achieve this by prohibiting harvest in the area. While MPAs are currently evaluated through assessments...

Advances in Camelid Theriogenology

Creator:: McAllister, Anna
Abstract:: Reproductive physiology of South American camelids is unique, especially in comparison to other domestic animals. For example, mating occurs in a recumbent position over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Males are dribble ejaculators, and the camelid ejaculate is highly viscous making it nearly impossible to work with in vitro....

Astragalus peckii Population Establishment : Developing Protocols for Seed Germination, Seedling Cultivation, and Planting

Creator:: Pearson, Tabitha
Abstract:: Astragalus peckii Piper is a threatened Oregon endemic in the pea family (Fabaceae). This species faces extinction due to loss of habitat. Recovery efforts include augmenting existing populations and creating new ones. The purpose of this study was to determine the best methodology for population augmentation of Astragalus peckii by...

Comparing the United States West Coast Marine Protected Area levels of protection and their effectiveness to retain viable habitat connectivity with increasing human uses and global change

Creator:: Kesling, Joshua
Abstract:: Coastal communities rely on the abundant ecosystem services derived from robust conservation areas in offshore marine waters (Campbell, 2019). United Nations member states support the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework, wherein the 14th guideline asserts the importance of life under water. Protected marine environments are critical to the survival of...

Environmental Transformations in Hydrophobicity of TiO2 P-25 Nanoparticles in Alsea River Waters

Creator:: Boenisch, Kylie
Abstract:: Hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are prevalent in industry and manufacturing. They are known for their white pigmentation, are found in sunscreens, paints, cosmetics, and are frequently used in wastewater treatment. Understanding the physicochemical properties of TiO2 P-25 NPs, such as hydrophobicity, are essential when determining their fate, transport,...

Metagenomics Analysis Reveal Host-Microbe Interactions in Cervical Cancer

Creator:: Lam, Khiem C.
Abstract:: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Recently it has been shown that microbiota play a role in some types of cancer. Therefore, to understand whether microbes contribute in any way to the development and progress of cervical cancer, we investigated the cervical microbiome via analysis...

Sports Nutrition for the Adolescent Athlete : The WAVE Pilot Study

Creator:: Kummer, Alissa
Abstract:: Purpose: This study examines the nutrition knowledge/behaviors of adolescent athletes before/after a sport nutrition intervention. Methods: The WAVE pilot study intervention provided sport nutrition education to soccer players (n=26; 14-19y) through face-to-face lessons (Intervention group [IG]). Anthropometrics and the Sport Nutrition Questionnaire were done pre/post intervention, while the comparison group...
