“Narco-Deforestation” in Central American Protected Areas: Developing A Spatiotemporal Proxy Database for Drug-Trafficking Activities from Media Reporting

Creator:: Cameron, Olivia Z.
Abstract:: On a global scale, illicit economies have dramatic impacts on the physical environment. Cocaine trafficking has been recognized as a major driver of deforestation inside Central American protected areas. A key problem in studying and managing the environmental impacts of illicit economic activity is the difficulty in obtaining reliable data....

Distribution of Chlorociboria species in riparian forests of Western Oregon

Creator:: Kramer, Olivia E.
Abstract:: Transects were run at five locations in the Benton County area searching for samples of Chlorociboria spp. on dead wood, with fifteen total samples found. Of these samples, eight samples had the wood species identified, with the majority found on Acer macrophyllum and one on Salix spp. The density of...

Characterization of Mitochondrial Metabolism in L6 Rat Myoblasts

Creator:: Burney, Emily R.
Abstract:: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide, causing a subsequent increase in insulin resistance (IR), metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Although these conditions significantly impact both the individual and society, their etiologies have not been discovered, inhibiting potential prevention and treatment. Alterations to mitochondrial metabolism are implicated in the development...

An Investigation into the Time-Sensitive Color Changing Quality of the Pigment Extracted from Scytalidium ganodermophthorum

Creator:: Walsh, Zielle
Abstract:: Scytalidium ganodermophthorum (Xylogone ganodermophthora) is known as a yellow-pigmenting spalting fungus. However, recent observations have indicated that the dichloromethane-extracted pigment produced by S. ganodermophthorum can vary in color from yellow to green to red to purple, depending on the age of the fungus at harvesting. The timeline and mechanisms behind...

Short-Term Lipid Overload in Skeletal Muscle Induces Mild Mitochondrial Membrane Depolarization as a Stimulus for Autophagy Activation

Creator:: Brinck, Isabel M.
Abstract:: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition that impairs insulin stimulated glucose absorption in skeletal muscle, a characteristic phenomenon denoted as insulin resistance. Lipid overload of the mitochondria is linked to the development of insulin resistance and the progression of Type 2 Diabetes. As lipids accumulate there is...

Fifty years of change in a Pacific Northwest winter forest bird community

Creator:: Clements, Nolan
Abstract:: North American bird populations have declined throughout the past half century. The majority of studies quantifying these declines have focused on spring and summer breeding birds; not the season of scarcity, winter. We re-surveyed 7 large study plots in Douglas fir forests initially surveyed in winter during the late 1960s...

Developing a Learning Progression on Units and Dimensions by Dustin Treece

Creator:: Treece, Dustin
Abstract:: Units and dimensions are seldom addressed formally in science classrooms, despite being one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous tools available to scientists. Even worse, science and engineering graduates are often moving into careers without fundamentally understanding units and their importance, leading to struggles in developing scientific literacy and to...

Presidential Framing of Failure : A Pentadic Rhetorical Criticism of President Donald Trump’s Rhetoric on Policy Failure with Obamacare

Creator:: Robinson, Miranda M.
Abstract:: In October, 2016, presidential candidate Donald Trump released a document titled “Contract with the American Voter.” This document promised, among many things, that within his first 100 days of his potential presidency, he would repeal and replace Obamacare. When he was unable to fulfill that promise, he employed rhetorical tactics...

Resource uptake and host tissue chemistry: Implications for competition and disease

Creator:: Schumann, Canan B.
Abstract:: Maintenance of optimal nutrient supplies is fundamental to the functioning of vertebrate, invertebrate, bacterial and plant physiology. Organisms on this planet compete with each other primarily to fulfill nutritional needs in order to maximize their health, wellbeing, and reproductive success. Here we examine nutrient concentrations in several different grass species...
