Experimental and theoretical investigation of the ability of oxygen-containing molecules to accept charge

Creator:: Siggel, Michele Ruth Fisher
Abstract:: The question of why carboxylic acids and phenols are stronger acids than alcohols has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experimental approach involves comparison of gas-phase acidities and core-ionization energies. The theoretical treatment uses calculated point potentials and acidities. The ease of proton removal is related to two factors known...

A conceptual model of women entrepreneurs in small businesses

Creator:: Putnam, Carol A.
Abstract:: Women entrepreneurs are an economic force within the American and Oregon economy. Women are starting businesses at two to five times the rate of men. There has been significant research detailing the demographics, barriers, and business management skills of women business owners. Yet, the research to date has been limited...

Developing a 2D Cross-section Training Strategy for 3D Volume Segmentation by Analyzing Human Perception and Cognitive Tasks

Creator:: Sanandaji, Anahita
Abstract:: 3D volume segmentation is a fundamental process in many scientific and medical applications. Producing accurate segmentations, in an efficient way, is challenging, in part due to low imaging data quality (e.g., noise and low image resolution), and ambiguity in the data that can only be resolved with higher-level knowledge of...

Assessing Apparent Effects on Survival and Movement of Desert Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) Following a Pneumonia Outbreak

Creator:: Dekelaita, Daniella J.
Abstract:: In the western United States, bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) have suffered major die-offs in every state since the mid-1800s, and disease from domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been a primary factor in these events. Beginning in the early 1900s, poly-factorial, poly-microbial pneumonia was identified as a major disease affecting bighorn...

Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...

In silico screening of nanoporous materials for gas sensing and separation

Creator:: Gantzler, Nickolas
Abstract:: The utility of high-throughput, computational screening has become an invaluable asset to the field of materials science. In the hierarchy of computational methods, the most accurate methods are often the most computationally expensive. However, as both the efficiency and fidelity of numerical techniques advance, high-quality screening of large materials datasets...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
