Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

Creator:: Arnold, Holly Kristin
Abstract:: The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Latham, Kristin Lynn
Abstract:: Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...

Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

Creator:: Skinner, Kristin M.
Abstract:: Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

Mathematical knowledge for teaching proof

Creator:: Lesseig, Kristin
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to detail mathematical knowledge that supports the work of teaching proof and to investigate how such knowledge is evidenced in professional development (PD). To advance the construct of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in the context of proof, I developed a framework of MKT...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Suppression of Microdochium Patch on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens using Iron Sulfate, Phosphorous Acid, Sulfur, and Mineral Oil

Creator:: Mattox, Clint M.
Abstract:: Managing Microdochium patch on intensively manicured annual bluegrass putting greens is a challenge for turfgrass professionals in cool-humid climates similar to the Pacific Northwest. Fungicides are the predominant means to mitigate damage caused by this fungal pathogen, however pesticide restrictions are making it even more challenging to suppress Microdochium patch....

Effects of Biochar and Nitrogen-Enriched Soil Amendments on Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition, and Early Fruit Production in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.)

Creator:: Sales, Bryan K.
Abstract:: The goal of the work in this dissertation was to identify alternative soil amendments to improve plant growth and yield during establishment of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid). Woody materials, such as sawdust and wood chips, have a high carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and low water holding capacity, which can...

Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Rivedal, Hannah M.
Abstract:: Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....

Keeping your Friends Secret: Improving the Security, Effciency and Usability of Private Set Intersection

Creator:: Rindal, Peter B.
Abstract:: Private set intersection (PSI) allows two parties, who each hold a set of items, to compute the intersection of those sets without revealing anything about other items. Recent advances in PSI have significantly improved its performance for the case of semi-honest security, making semi-honest PSI a practical alternative to insecure...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....
