Metabolomic Analysis of Oregon Coast Sediment Pore Waters using Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Creator:: Merlo, James B.
Abstract:: One of the principal drivers of climate change is the concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere. A large portion of this CO2 ends up in the waters off the continental coasts where it transforms into biomass. The major sink for this matter is the ocean sediments...

Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

Creator:: Jayawickrama, Clare
Abstract:: Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

Variation of the Trowbridge's shrew (Sorex trowbridgii) diet across forest types in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Yates, Margaret E.
Abstract:: Investigating the insectivorous diet of the Trowbridge’s shrew (Sorex trowbridgii) across forest types can illustrate how forest management affects biotic communities. I used DNA metabarcoding methods with ANML primers to identify stomach and intestines contents from shrews caught in pitfall traps in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) and Willamette...

Voluntary alcohol consumption in male rhesus macaques suppresses cancellous bone remodeling

Creator:: Kahler-Quesada, Arianna M.
Abstract:: Background: Chronic heavy alcohol consumption is a risk factor for bone fracture. Using a non-human primate model of voluntary alcohol self-administration, we have recently shown that alcohol consumption suppresses intracortical bone remodeling. The current study extends this investigation to asses the effect of alcohol consumption on cancellous bone mass, architecture,...

Effects of 6 months of voluntary alcohol self-administration on intracorticalbone remodeling in young adult male cynomolgus monkeys

Creator:: Kuah, Amida F.
Abstract:: Heavy chronic alcohol consumption has been linked to a myriad of detrimental skeletal effects. Many studies have been conducted to examine the effects of alcohol abuse upon cancellous bone. However, little is known about its effect upon cortical bone. The skeleton is comprised of approximately 80% cortical bone and thus...
