Analysis of Cancer Progression by Establishing Quantitative Assessments of Zebrafish Xenografts

Creator:: Gamble, John T.
Abstract:: The goal of this dissertation was to improve our abilities in acquiring critical in vivo data by establishing embryo-larva zebrafish as an exemplary model to quantitatively evaluate cancer progression. The living environment that encompasses a tumor has a significant effect on how cancer develops, grows and metastasizes. In order to...

The isolation and structure of leptosphaerin : a metabolite of the marine ascomycete, Leptosphaeria oraemaris (Linder) and A synthesis of the marine toxin, 9-isocyanopupukeanane

Creator:: Schiehser, Guy Alan
Abstract:: The ethyl acetate extract of the culture filtrate of the marine Ascomycete, Leptosphaeria oraemaris (Linder) yielded a novel metabolite designated by the common name leptosphaerin. An x-ray crystallographic structure analysis was disproved by the synthesis of 3-acetoxy-S-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)- 3-pyrrolin-2-one 1, starting with N,N-dibenzylhydroxylamine 47 and D-mannitol 44. Oxidation of 47 followed...

Body Condition and Hormone Assessment of Eastern North Pacific Gray Whales (Eschrichtius robustus) and Associations with Ambient Noise

Creator:: Lemos, Leila S.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic activities have posed many threats to the oceans and marine life. Understanding how individuals are affected and physiologically respond to these threats is crucial and allows for management and conservation applications. I evaluated the overall health condition of a subpopulation of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) along the Oregon coast,...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...

Traditional ecological knowledge to develop and maintain fire regimes in northwestern California, Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion : management and restoration of culturally significant habitats

Creator:: Lake, Frank K.
Abstract:: The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia. A mixture of Native American and Euro-American socio-cultural management has developed from adaptations to climate, topography, ecological processes, and land use practices.
