The Winners and Losers of Sarbanes-Oxley

Creator:: Bailey, Derek
Abstract:: As a result of numerous financial scandals at the turn of the 21st century, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002, requiring all publicly-listed companies to comply with regulations aimed at reducing the amount of material misstatements in the financial statements, both frauds and errors. Although the costs of...

Visualizing Rivers: An Interactive Map of United States Water Sheds

Creator:: Burk, Bailey K.
Abstract:: An interactive map of important watersheds in the United States was created for use as a teaching tool in an estuarine ecology class. Figures and explanations of important factors influencing river ecology were created using data downloaded from the U.S. Geologic Survey. This interface serves as a visualization of biological,...

Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the leaf- and root-associated microbiomes of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

Creator:: Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
Abstract:: A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

Freshwater prokaryotic and eukaryotic diversity of the Oregon Willamette River basin

Creator:: Hoyle, Marilee C.
Abstract:: The wellbeing of the Willamette basin in Oregon depends on the river ecosystem’s microbial communities, which control primary production and the biological processing of nutrients, pollutants, and organic matter. Yet, only a few studies have investigated the diversity of the microbial communities of the Willamette basin. This paper examines how...

Predicting Watershed Characteristics Using Bacterial DNA

Creator:: Chadwick, Jessica A.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine if bacterial DNA present streams could be used to predict upstream watershed characteristics. Previous studies have found that bacterial composition in soil is influenced by land use. It was hypothesized that if the bacteria present in a stream is known that it can be...

Tradeoffs and Preferences between Flood Mitigation Measures

Creator:: Byron, Elizabeth G.
Abstract:: Floods remain the world’s most destructive natural hazard, despite centuries of efforts to minimize losses. Understanding public preferences for flood mitigation measures, and the impacts of these measures, is key to minimizing flood-induced losses. This study quantified tradeoffs between flood mitigation measures and determined factors that influence public preferences for...

A robust Mycobacterium smegmatis Assay for the Discovery of Anti-tubercular Metabolites from Soil Bacteria

Creator:: Chen, Kathryn P
Abstract:: Tuberculosis (TB) is a pressing global health issue with approximately one third of the world’s population infected by this bacterium. As one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, it has killed approximately 1.7 million people of all ages around the world per year (World Health Organization, 2016). Currently, several drugs...

Are they what they eat? A stable GIT microbiome characterized in P. resecata

Creator:: Gustafson, Tarah N.
Abstract:: Intertidal herbivores, such as isopods, help regulate and contribute to nutrient cycling and organic carbon flow through the trophic levels in estuaries and coastal ecosystems. Though much is known about the microbiomes of macrophyte leaves that serve as the primary food source for isopods, and (to a lesser extent) the...

Investigating polymer quantum mechanics : mathematical formulation, the particle on a ring, and time evolution

Creator:: Seibert, Basie S.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...

The Secret Life of Estuaries: Phytoplankton-determined Seasonality of Particulate Organic Carbon in Cathlamet Bay and the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Shumway, David O.
Abstract:: This study investigated the composition and character of organic matter on suspended particulate material (SPM) in the Columbia River estuary system to determine the contribution of biological activity in lateral bays to the greater nutrient cycle of the river. Water samples were collected during neap and spring tidal forcing (25...

Study on the Evolution and Expression of the Pyoverdine Receptor FpvA inPseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Singh, Amandip
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium that is capable of causing infections in people who are immune compromised. The bacterium can live in a variety of environments due to the variety of virulence factors it can produce. It is well adapted to living in iron-stringent conditions because it can...
