Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

Creator:: Tuinstra, Naomi A.
Abstract:: In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States. An analysis of this specific interaction was done via personal contact with the industry in Ecuador and extensive literature review of the topic. The results...

The Role of Arabidopsis RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Genes 3, 4 and 5 in Antiviral Defense

Creator:: Lowery, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant defense against viral infection. Plants use virusderived small interfering RNA to target and silence invading viruses. The antiviral silencing pathway can be broken down into three conceptual stages: initiation, amplification, and systemic movement. The molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation are not well...

“Only a little longer, right?” : oral histories of the Oregon State University Wind Ensemble during the COVID-19 pandemic

Creator:: Gibbs, Madeline
Abstract:: Music performance and education faced unique barriers during the COVID-19 global pandemic which made it nearly impossible to effectively implement online learning. To better understand these barriers and what improvements might be made during future pandemics that entail periods of isolation, I collected the oral histories of eight Oregon State...

Relationships of hydraulic traits and wood morphology in Douglas-fir branches from wet vs. dry regions and sites

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman Noe, Jr.
Abstract:: It is well known that water transport in xylem depends on its anatomy, but recent research shows that water transport through different parts of the growth ring are affected by the water potential in different ways. The goal of the project was to learn the extent to which wood morphology...

The impact of assigned reading on reading for pleasure throughout life

Creator:: Pruitt, Sydney
Abstract:: The reason for reading for pleasure falling out of popular fashion is ambiguous, and there is an ongoing drive to identify the source in order to encourage more reading. I attempted to see if liking the books assigned to one in middle and high school had an effect on reading...

Biocuration of rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor networks involved in abiotic stress response

Creator:: El-Husseini, Sarah
Abstract:: Rice (Oryza sativa) is a common crop found in various regions worldwide where it is considered a staple food. Though widespread, O. sativa plants' growth, development, and yield are affected by environmental/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, etc. Particularly, salinity stress leads to dehydration, overwhelms potassium pumps, and...

Gene Structure and Expression of the Rice S-Domain Kinase (SD-RLK) Gene Subfamily

Creator:: Dikeman, Daemon
Abstract:: The S-domain subfamily of receptor-like kinases (SD-RLKs) in plants is poorly characterized and the majority of genes have unknown functions. The goal of this study was to study the expansion of rice (Oryza sativa) SD-RLK subfamily, and characterize gene and protein structure and expression of its members using publicly available...

Interaction of the human Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 protein (VDAC-1) with Mycobacterium avium and its role in bacterial survival within phagocytic cells

Creator:: Pham, Tuan
Abstract:: M. avium is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects macrophages. In order to survive within the macrophage, M. avium secretes proteins into the host cell cytoplasm to inhibit specific functions such as phagosome acidification, altering pathways as well as initiating apoptosis. However, little is known about how those secreted proteins...

Undocumented Immigrants in the U.S. Health Care System: A Study of Latinos in Oregon

Creator:: Simila, Maarja
Abstract:: Health care and immigration in the United States are complex and controversial topics. Undocumented immigrants have to overcome numerous barriers in order to gain access to health care services. This study examines the personal experiences of undocumented immigrants in Oregon and how they sought out care and overcame these barriers....
