Spatial and temporal patterns of windthrow in the Bull Run Watershed, Oregon

Creator:: Sinton, Diana Stuart
Abstract:: Throughout the 20th century, windthrow has affected forests in the Bull Run watershed, a 26,500 ha basin that is the principal water source for the city of Portland, Oregon. Windthrow from storms in 1973 and 1983 was mapped into a geographic information system (GIS) and compared to a 1931 windthrow...

Gene regulatory networks during muscle development

Creator:: Eng, Diana G.
Abstract:: Congenital myopathies are caused by heritable mutations in particular genes. Genes mutated in congenital muscular dystrophies often encode cytoskeletal proteins, which contribute to the shape and movement of cells. We would like to know how such molecular defects lead to the muscle weakness in patients. It is therefore important to...

Geochemical and helium isotopic variability within the Lau Basin

Creator:: Goddard, Charlotte Ives
Abstract:: This research incorporates geochemical and helium isotopic analyses of Lau Basin volcanic glasses, along with helium isotopic analyses of water column hydrothermal plumes to better understand the processes that control the formation and evolution of this backarc basin. Lavas newly collected from the four southernmost segments of the Valu Fa...

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : global cancer risk and metabolism

Creator:: Motorykin, Oleksii
Abstract:: In recent decades, there has been increased attention on human exposure to, and subsequently toxicity of, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are widespread organic pollutants and some have been shown to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. This research was focused on understanding the link between global PAH emissions and lung...

New Insights into Mantle Dynamics from Helium Isotopes and Argon Geochronology

Creator:: Konrad, Kevin
Abstract:: Earth’s mantle extends to nearly 3000 km depth, comprises >80 % of Earth’s total volume, and has the largest influence on the primordial and radiogenic heat budget. Despite its importance, the structure and composition of the mantle is still debated. There are three primary models for Earth’s mantle structure that...

Studies on the metabolism on n-propyl N, N-di-n-propyl thiolcarbamate in legumes

Creator:: Bourke, John Butts
Abstract:: The absorption, translocation and metabolism of a new herbicide, n-propyl-C¹⁴ N, N-di-n-propyl-thiolcarbamate (PDPC), were studied in both peanut and soybean plants. These studies were carried out on plants of different ages and treated at two rates of application. The residue content of the plants was also determined from germination to...

Understanding the Application and Benefits of Learning-based Methods in Nuclear Science and Engineering

Creator:: Gómez Fernández, Mario Enrique
Abstract:: Known as the fourth industrial revolution, digitization is an ongoing trend in all ﬁelds, in which various industries are integrating information technologies to support and improve their businesses. Nuclear technology industries have also increased their interest in data-driven methods by leveraging the potential of pattern recognition to identify anomalies and...

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Assemblages and Adaptation: The Influence of Multispecies Social Networks on Small Farmers’ Perceptions of and Responses to Climate Change in Oregon

Creator:: Parks, Melissa
Abstract:: This study explores how multispecies social networks influence small farmers' perceptions of and responses to climate change across Oregon. Local food sovereignty and food system resilience depend on a robust local food system in which small farms play a critical role. To maintain their viability, small farmers must adapt to...
