  • Antioxidant Effects of Blackberry Pomace on the Health of Transition Dairy Cows

    Creator:
    Estenson, Kaelyn A.
    Abstract:
    Blackberry pomace (BBP), a byproduct from juice processing, is often disposed of in landfills. We propose BBP as an antioxidant-rich feed supplement for transition dairy cows. To explore the effects of BBP on antioxidant status, 24 multiparous dairy cows (5 Holstein and 19 Jersey) were assigned randomly to one of...

  • The Effects of Vitamin E on the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans Strains with Mitochondrial Mutations

    Creator:
    Kusuma, Danika N.
    Abstract:
    Although assays have been done on the effects of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol (ɑ-tocopherol) on the lifespan of wildtype C. elegans, none have been done on the effects of the vitamin on mutant strains with mitochondrial mutations. By using a mev-1 genetic mutant strain of C. elegans with higher levels of...

  • Exploring Links between Circadian Rhythms and Healthy Aging

    Creator:
    Mattison, Braden J.
    Abstract:
    Circadian rhythms are the daily oscillations in multiple organism functions, from clock gene expression to behavior. Lost or irregular rhythms lead to health problems later in life including nervous system disorders, abnormal sleep/activity cycles, diabetes and obesity. However, it is not known whether strengthening the expression of clock genes throughout...

    Creator:
    Raskauskas, Nancy
    Abstract:
    The West Fork Smith River, a 69 km2 watershed in the Coast Range of Oregon, is prone to short periods of very high water temperature in mid-summer due to a combination of human and natural influences. In the summers of 2003 and 2004 more than 400 juvenile coho salmon regularly...

  • Exploring Maslow's Hierarchy Empirically

    Creator:
    Dodson, Thor
    Abstract:
    For each of the 5 needs in Maslow’s motivational hierarchy (physiological, safety–security, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization), measures of satisfaction were gathered from the German Socio-Economic Panel to assess their correlations with each other in order to test the validity of the structure of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. While other studies...

  • Bird Predation on the Garter Snake Thamnophis elegans near Eagle Lake in California

    Creator:
    Billings, Jessica Grace
    Abstract:
    Previous studies have revealed distinctive ecotypic differences between garter snakes living in the meadow and lakeshore environments around Eagle Lake in California. Snakes from these contrasting environments have significantly different growth rates, litter sizes, adult body size, annual survival, and coloration. To try and explain these differences, bird predation was...
