Human Exposure to PAHs in Air, Water, and Crayfish

Creator:: Paulik, L. Blair
Abstract:: There are many links between exposure to environmental pollution and risks to human health. While advances in the fields of toxicology, exposure science, and environmental chemistry have shown light on many of these links, many more research challenges remain. One major challenge is how to accurately characterize the toxicity of...

Water management tools and irrigation strategies for blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry production in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Elucidating the Origins of Trends and Selectivities of Organic Reactions through Computations and Data Analysis Techniques

Creator:: Richardson, H. Camille
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a novel method for analyzing computed transition states (TS) for organic reactions is disclosed. It introduces the use of localization-delocalization matrices as parameters in a linear free energy relationship to determine the transition state interactions responsible for differences in energy between the major and minor TS in...

Investigation of the Patterns and Transcriptional Regulators from Gene Expression Profiles of Adult Murine Soleus and Tibialis Anterior Skeletal Muscles

Creator:: Alto, Sarah I.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscles provide several functions, including, yet not limited to, voluntary body movement and locomotion, posture and body position, and soft tissue support. Skeletal muscles also play a role in metabolism, requiring energy to facilitate contraction. Each skeletal muscle serves a different purpose despite seeming to perform the same task....

Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

Nesting and foraging ecology of band-tailed pigeons in western Oregon

Creator:: Leonard, Jerome Patrick
Abstract:: Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) have declined markedly during the past several decades. Despite implementation of increasingly restrictive hunting regulations, populations have shown minimal signs of recovery. I radio-marked 127 adult band-tailed pigeons in the central Oregon Coast Range in April-May of 1993-95 to document nesting chronology and productivity,...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Development and implementation of a transkingdom network analysis pipeline to identify drivers of disease

Creator:: Newman, Nolan K.
Abstract:: The gut microbiome has been previously implemented in a number of diseases. Of note is its substantial role in metabolic syndrome, which encapsulates a group of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Understanding the causal relationships between the gut microbiome and host processes...

Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza
Abstract:: It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...
