Biogeochemical Processing of Freshwater Carbon in the Anthropocene

Creator:: Buser, Jessica Z.
Abstract:: Freshwater systems cycle carbon along a spatial and temporal biogeochemical continuum, across which ecosystem processes contribute to transformations of organic matter (OM). Various ecological constraints impact rates OM transformation and production and consumption of the energetic end of respiration, methane. Microbiological processing and complete reduction of carbon substrates to methane...

Multicellular monolayer’s self-organization under external stimuli

Creator:: Li, Guanyu
Abstract:: Cell signaling under external stimulation is a critical mechanism that governs many biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell apoptosis, etc. For multicellular organisms, the ability to synchronize heterogeneous individual cellular responses through intercellular communication is crucial to maintain normal functionality. However, even though the biological pathways...

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

Creator:: Olson, Matthew L.
Abstract:: This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

Creator:: Avila, Alexandra M.
Abstract:: Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...

Ecohydrologic Connections of Rangeland Ecosystems in Central and Eastern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Durfee, Nicole M.
Abstract:: In light of water scarcity and the impacts of climate change, there is an increased need to understand the interaction between land use characteristics and ecohydrologic processes in semiarid regions. Additionally, many semiarid and arid regions face various land management challenges, including woody plant encroachment, decreased snowpack, and increased stream...

The Relationship Between IGF-1 and Bone Turnover in a Non-Human Primate Model of Voluntary Alcohol Consumption

Creator:: Sattgast, Lara H.
Abstract:: Alcohol is a widely consumed, nonessential, bioactive nutrient with end-organ effects on the skeleton. Moderate levels of alcohol consumption are generally associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD), whereas higher intake levels result in reduced bone formation, bone loss, and increased risk for osteoporotic fracture. Given the negative impact of...

Leveraging Social Media to Improve Patient-Provider Sexual Health Communication in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Care

Creator:: Drizin, Julia H.
Abstract:: Sexual health is an important part of quality of life for adolescents and young adults (AYAs), but a cancer diagnosis and treatment can have severe physical and psychosocial consequences on this aspect of health. Despite the frequency and distressing nature of sexual health concerns among AYA cancer survivors, sexual health...

Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:: Swieca, Kelsey
Abstract:: Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...

Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

Creator:: Otto, Shauna C.
Abstract:: Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...
