The effect of dark period duration on synechococcus WH8102 growth rates

Creator:: Ibuye Balola, Marius
Abstract:: Synechococcus is one of the most abundant groups of primary producers in the marine environment. They play a crucial role in the food web by being the main source of alimentary energy to many marine organisms that contribute to human nutriments. The ability of Synechococcus to use light as a...

Physiological characterization of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae

Creator:: Tornberg, Emma C.
Abstract:: Marine primary production can be modeled and estimated using remotely-observable physiological signatures such as chlorophyll and carbon. Current models are based on strict physiological relationships based on photoautotrophic phytoplankton, and discrepancies between modeled and in situ data may stem from unaccounted-for physiological deviations from photoautotrophy. Mixotrophic phytoplankton can obtain energy...

Effort-Based Decision Making and Self-Reported Apathy in Frequent Cannabis Users and Healthy Controls

Creator:: Vele, Kimberly C.
Abstract:: Cannabis use rates have been escalating in recent years within the United States. The effects of cannabis on motivation and effort-based decision making have been of increased interest. Amotivational syndrome is a term used to refer to a lack of motivation, passive personality, non-productive behavior, and lowered educational attainment due...

The Effects of air mass origin on cumulus clouds in the Caribbean

Creator:: Johnson, Kimberly
Abstract:: Knowledge concerning trade wind cumulus, one of the most dominant cloud types on the planet, has become increasingly important when considering global issues such as climate change due to their potential influence on the Earth’s energy budget. In this project, using data from the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean...

Evaluating the Toxicity of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Zebrafish

Creator:: Britsch, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: Flame retardants are in many home products including couches, chairs, and electronics. The most commonly used flame retardants contained polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) until 2004, when the majority of these chemicals were phased out. PBDEs were found to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Organophosphate...

The China Connection : A Glimpse of Collaborative Research Between China and Oregon State University

Creator:: Kenny, Kimberly
Abstract:: China’s global influence in the realm of science and technology (S&T) has increased dramatically in recent times. China and the United States are now each other’s main partner in scientific collaboration. As a major research university, OSU is one of the institutions with a large stake in this international collaboration....

Models of the Physician-Patient Relationship: Parent, Technician, and Provider

Creator:: Takata, Kimberly K.
Abstract:: The relationship between physicians and patients is undeniably unique. To understand the qualities of a healing relationship, it is essential to analyze the perceptions that influence physician behavior. Metaphors and relationship models are often used in bioethics to analyze the construction of perceptions. The goal of this study is to...

The Effects of Toxicity Inhibitors on the Cytotoxicity of Cryoprotective Agents using a High-Throughput Experimental Set-up

Creator:: Ampo, Emi
Abstract:: Even with advanced medical technology, there is still an unmet need for organs to reduce the transplant waiting list and to advance organ-related research. Cryopreservation through vitrification is one possible solution to increase organ availability. A major challenge with cryopreservation of organs is the toxicity of the cryoprotectants (CPAs) that...

Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

Creator:: Lee, Mikaela
Abstract:: Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...

The production of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) over time with change in substrate type, temperature, and mineral soil inclusion

Creator:: Stanton, Alexandria H.
Abstract:: Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) originates from organic matter. Climate and vegetation have been found to alter DOC production. The goal of this study was to determine where the differences in DOC production originate from. Mineral soil and substrate including maple leaves, needles, old wood, and sticks were collected from the...
