Telomere Binding Protein Antagonists for Stem Cell Therapy

Creator:: VanGarde, Aurora
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms through which stem cells self-renew is important for the development of new therapies to repair and restore damaged tissue. This research explores possible mechanisms of telomere mimic action and seeks to validate a new assay for evaluating telomere binding antagonists and studying the effects of telomere binding...

Urban Business Rodent Control Behavior and Attitudes Toward Rodents and Impact on Non-target Wildlife (Presentation), Urban business attitudes regarding rodents, rodent control methods, and impact on wildlife

Creator:: Arndt, Eva
Abstract:: Birds of prey and carnivorous mammals feed on small birds, rodents and other small mammals. Humans perceive many of the prey animals of these predators as well as the predators themselves, as “pests”, and seek to control them. Control methods for these unwanted pests, particularly rodents, have the potential to...

Relative heat sensitivities and the potential for soil solarization to remediate nursery beds infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Weidman, Clara Suzanne
Abstract:: Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...

Development of a diagnostic assay for Phytophthora ramorum lineage detection

Creator:: Roig-Paul, Mireia
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum is the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), which is an economically and environmentally important disease causing up to 80% mortality of tanoaks in Pacific Northwest coastal forests (LeBoldus et al., 2022). There are currently four clonal lineages in the United States and Europe, named North America...

Spatial variability of heavy metals within a tree using the Othitricum lyellii moss biomonitor model

Creator:: Field, Gillette M.
Abstract:: The variability of heavy metal concentrations (Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu) of the terrestrial moss Orthotrichum lyellii on single trees was evaluated at two sites in the Pacific Northwest, one relatively unpolluted and the other polluted. In addition, a reciprocal transplant of O. lyellii between the unpolluted and polluted sites...

A Novel Statistical Method for Identifying Monotonic Relationships in Noisy Plots

Creator:: Eberhart-Garah, Robbie
Abstract:: As scientific technologies and techniques have improved in past decades, it has become possible to quickly collect unprecedented quantities of experimental data. In the study of gene expression, for instance, datasets comprising tens of thousands of variables and hundreds of treatments can be produced in a matter of months. When...

Gene expression analysis in feline injection-site sarcoma : differential expression of the ΔNp63 and TAp63 isoforms

Creator:: Dien, Thalia
Abstract:: Background Feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS) is a rare and aggressive tumor associated with vaccines, drug injections, and skin trauma in cats. The understanding of FISS remains limited, posing challenges in its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In this study, we analyzed the differential expression of miRNAs and their target genes in...

Examining the effect of "hands-on" experiences of volunteers in a physical activity program for children with disabilities

Creator:: Willoughby, Ryan, Pawlowski, Jill, and Beamer, Jennifer
Abstract:: This project’s first aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the IMPACT program on undergraduate volunteers’ acceptance and attitude towards working with children with disabilities. The second aim is identifying potential factors effecting the volunteers’ acceptance and attitude towards working with children with disabilities. The IMPACT program serves both as...

Serum Haptoglobin as an Indicator for Calving Difficulties and Postpartal Diseases in Transition Dairy Cows

Creator:: Sabedra, Dominique A.
Abstract:: Abstract Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein that is elevated in response to tissue damage and infections in dairy cows. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether serum haptoglobin concentrations in the first week after calving can indicate disease status and severity, and whether haptoglobin concentrations are elevated...

Ingestion of Microplastics in the Juvenile Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from Oregon Coastal Sampling Sites

Creator:: Arnold, Madison A.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk. There are currently gaps in the microplastic literature regarding microplastic data from finfish...
