  • Effects of wildfire on soil hydraulic properties on hillslopes in southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Cole, Ryan
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wildfire on soil hydraulic properties of forested hillslopes. The study site was located within the Stouts Creek wildfire, which burned approximately 10,705 ha of forest in southwestern Oregon in summer 2015. Three soil hydraulic properties (soil moisture, unsaturated hydraulic...

  • 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...

  • Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

    Creator:
    Steiner, Samantha K.
    Abstract:
    Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

  • Site-Specific Modification of Glucose Proteins Enabling Precise Surface Orientation For Glucose Sensors

    Creator:
    Wolfenden, Nurhayati
    Abstract:
    An ideal labeling reaction between protein and surface should generate a protein-patterned surface with control over the orientation of the desired protein. Controlling orientation would generate a homogeneous, un-fouled protein surface and allow for maximum efficiency in regards to the activity, reactivity, and stability of the protein. In this research...

  • Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

  • Engineering Oriented Protein-Labelled Surfaces

    Creator:
    Brown, Wesley and Mehl, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Current protein immobilization techniques lack defined control over protein orientation. Protein orientation is important for making biosensors and biomaterials that are sensitive and efficient and can be crucial for designing some devices such as immunosensors or direct electron transferring biocells. A new method of protein immobilization is proposed that takes...

  • Selection of an Orthogonal tRNA Synthetase for Trifluoromethyl-phenylalanine in Methanomethylophilus Alvus System

    Creator:
    Eyberg, Daniel R.
    Abstract:
    Genetic code expansion is a technology that allows for site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids into recombinant proteins at amber stop codons using engineered translational machinery. The technology allows for expanded study into proteins, derived from the integration of novel chemical functions found in noncanonical amino acids, such as fluorescence,...

  • Characterizing the Interactome of Nitrotyrosine-Calmodulin using Genetic Code Expansion

    Creator:
    Kong, Garth L.
    Abstract:
    A specific tyrosine post-translational modification, called 3-nitro-tyrosine (nitroTyr), has been known to be present on an essential calcium signaling protein called calmodulin (CaM) during oxidative stress. While protein-bound 3-nitro-tyrosine has long been considered a biomarker of OS, it is also hypothesized to be a mechanism for protein signaling. However, purification...

  • Anaerobic co-digestion of acid whey and sewage sludge for enhanced renewable energy production

    Creator:
    Cole, Emerson
    Abstract:
    Acid whey is the largest byproduct of the dairy industry but to date has few useful applications and is frequently discarded as a result. However, acid whey has a high carbon content, making it a suitable co-substrate for anaerobic co-digestion with raw sewage sludge. The synergistic effect of co-digestion has...
