  • Diet analysis of Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) from stomach contents off the coast of Newport, Oregon

    Creator:
    Doran, Renee E.
    Abstract:
    Black Rockfish are important commercial and recreational species and understanding their biology is useful in developing best management practices. A common means to assess diet in both freshwater and marine fishes is stomach content analysis, which can determine diet composition and infer foraging behaviors. We conducted a stomach content analysis...

  • Genetic and morphological evidence suggests cryptic speciation within the Torrent Sculpin, Cottus rhotheus, across the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Nicholas, Benjamin P.
    Abstract:
    Dwelling on the bottom of large rivers to high alpine streams, freshwater sculpins (genus Cottus) occur in high densities across the Pacific Northwest, with 21 currently recognized species found in the Pacific Northwest. Sculpin fill many ecological roles, with some species serving as important prey sources, and others competing with...

  • Addressing ALS: Corroborating the Methodology of Studying the P2X7R Complex

    Creator:
    Veytsman, Edward Y.
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...

  • Metabolomics analysis identifies effects of nitrate and exercise in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    Creator:
    Wolfe, Mandy
    Abstract:
    Objectives: Nitrate, found abundantly in green leafy vegetables, may improve exercise performance by increasing the availability and utilization of metabolic fuels that require less oxygen for energy production. However, it is not known if this performance effect occurs at the peak exercise intensity. We hypothesize that supplemental nitrate treatment will...

  • The Role of Nrf2 in Brain Cellular Senescence

    Creator:
    Ross, Grace K.
    Abstract:
    Aging is a major risk factor for the deterioration of biochemical pathways that lead to many chronic neurodegenerative disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's Disease). Cellular senescence is a hallmark of aging, a condition characterized by stable growth arrest resulting in a cell that no longer divides, but is metabolically active....

  • Intergenerational Trauma and Cognition

    Creator:
    Ray, Darryl
    Abstract:
    This review investigated the cognitive effects of intergenerational trauma. Through a literature review, 622 articles across two databases were examined using bibliography and literature review software to analyze such effects. Six articles were identified and discussed as well as their implications for future research. The supporting articles demonstrated clear cognitive...
