A Comparative Study of Climate Change Policy and Actions between the United States and Sweden

Creator:: Jacobs, Annie R.
Abstract:: The issue of global climate change and possible remedies has been debated between national governments since the 1970s. While some countries have adopted aggressive measures to address the issue, others have lagged in their efforts. The United States, as a key player in global climate change conferences, has focused its...

A genomic and proteomic characterization of the first cultured oligotrophic marine Gammaproteobacterium from the SAR92 clade

Creator:: Mellbye, Brett L.
Abstract:: High-throughput culturing (HTC) consisting of extinction culturing in autoclaved seawater has led to the isolation and characterization of many novel strains of oligotrophic marine bacteria. Strain HTCC 2207 was isolated from the Oregon coast by the HTC method. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this strain...

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Geisler, Mark S.
Abstract:: Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

A Proposed Treatment System for the Remediation of Landfill Leachate Using Algae

Creator:: Myers, Shanna Grace
Abstract:: Landfill leachate is a complex wastewater that contains high levels of ammonium (often over 250 ppm) and trace heavy metals (usually under 0.2 ppm). Microalgae have been shown to inexpensively and effectively treat wastewaters containing high loads of organics and nutrients, as well as adsorb metal ions. This thesis focuses...

Active Control of Passive Dynamics for Ground Disturbance Rejection

Creator:: Koepl, Devin N.
Abstract:: We present a model for running that combines active control with passive dynamics, in an attempt to approach the economy and robustness of animal running. Our work is inspired by examples of guinea fowl encountering an unexpected drop in ground surface, with little a ect on their running gait. Previous...

Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

Creator:: Mangan, Emily R.
Abstract:: Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

Aiding Plants and Humans by Targeting Virulence Strategies: Investigation of key protein residues involved in toxoflavin production

Creator:: Justen, Savannah F.
Abstract:: Toxoflavin, a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a variety of bacteria, has been implicated as a causative agent in food poisoning and a virulence factor in phytopathogenic bacteria. This toxin is produced by the tox operon in Burkholderia glumae, in which the encoded protein, ToxD, was previously characterized as essential...

An Analysis of Food Product Marketing Strategies in American and Chinese Companies from the Perspective of Consumer Culture Theory

Creator:: Sander, Robert J.
Abstract:: Today’s marketing researchers provide incredible depth of information which explains much consumption behavior in the marketplace. Research into consumer behavior, especially the family of research related to consumer culture theory, provides theory on which cultural phenomena motivate consumers to exhibit the patterns they do in the marketplace. This study uses...

An evaluation of the establishment and continued effectiveness of the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve in Ecuador

Creator:: Asson, Danielle
Abstract:: Conservation of natural resources has become a new watchword of the scientific community. While many terrestrial ecosystems are well protected, marine ecosystems have only recently come to the forefront. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been introduced as a means of protecting biodiversity, commercial stocks, and ecosystem services. There are many...

Analysis of Student Engagement with Applied Calculus Problems

Creator:: Gumpinger, Lynn M.
Abstract:: Applied problems are a necessity for a well-rounded and rigorous education in mathematics. This thesis summarizes the literature about student engagement with applied problems in order to develop a set of criteria for what makes an engaging and meaningful applied mathematics problem. Based on a review of the literature, this...
