  • Ocean Acidification Carryover Effects from Oyster Broodstock to Larvae

    Creator:
    Klein, Victoria G.
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by approximately 40% since preindustrial times from 280 ppm (parts per million) to 400 ppm. The rise in Pco₂ is causing the ocean to become more acidic due to the uptake of carbon dioxide by the water, termed “ocean acidification”. As the Pco₂ in the...

  • A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

    Creator:
    Austin, Molly C.
    Abstract:
    With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...

  • The Dynamic Field of Genetic Counseling and How Students Can Best Prepare Themselves

    Creator:
    Bauder, Malia V.
    Abstract:
    Genetic counseling, a healthcare profession centered on communicating genetic information to patients and helping them understand it, has been rapidly evolving with the development of genetic sequencing and editing technology over the past decades. Consequently, future and current genetic counselors must address societal and ethical implications, as well as historical...

  • Variation of the Trowbridge's shrew (Sorex trowbridgii) diet across forest types in the Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    Yates, Margaret E.
    Abstract:
    Investigating the insectivorous diet of the Trowbridge’s shrew (Sorex trowbridgii) across forest types can illustrate how forest management affects biotic communities. I used DNA metabarcoding methods with ANML primers to identify stomach and intestines contents from shrews caught in pitfall traps in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) and Willamette...

  • Lateral Edge Connection and Withdrawal Capacity of Western Juniper

    Creator:
    Girod, Hayley E.
    Abstract:
    Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is a “native invasive” tree species in Eastern Oregon. It is extremely good at finding and consuming water in arid climates, which makes it difficult for other plant species, especially sagebrush and grasses to survive. Sagebrush and grasses are necessary for the survival of the sage...

  • The Impact of Material Handling on Manufacturing Process Plan Selection

    Creator:
    Sargent, Ian E.
    Abstract:
    The total manufacturing cost for a part is determined by its process plan, and the total cost includes both processing and material handling costs. This research examines the cost impact of assuming an arbitrary layout when evaluating alternative process plans for production in a new facility. A designed experiment was...
