Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

Creator:: Tong, Tony T.
Abstract:: Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

“Don’t Choke ‘Em, Smoke ‘Em” : Lloyd “Tony” Stevenson and the Long Reach of History in “Post-Racial” Portland

Creator:: Ewens, Elise N.
Abstract:: Despite Portland’s progressive reputation, the response of city officials, police officers, and the community as a whole to the killing of the black man, Lloyd Stevenson, in 1985 at the hands of Portland police, demonstrates that the long racially discriminatory history of Oregon shaped public policy and popular thought about...

Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

High Resolution Spectroscopy of Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

Creator:: Martin, Matthew A.
Abstract:: The strained carbon ring, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, was synthesized by a reaction between 1-(phenylsulfanyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, prepared from propellane, and Raney nickel. Infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.0015 cm-1, a resolution significantly better than previous measurements, 0.06 cm-1. A single fundamental band was analyzed to determine the ground state and excited...

Effects of Fuel Reduction Treatments on Surface Fire Behavior in Juniper Woodland Ecosystems

Creator:: Williams, Claire L.
Abstract:: Juniper (Juniperus spp.) woodlands are native but expanding ecological communities that were historically limited by the natural fire return interval of the sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) steppe. These woodlands are often a mix of pinyon pine (Pinus spp.) and juniper that have increased significantly over the last century. This expansion has...

Assessing variation in coyote (Canis latrans) diet across three sagebrush steppe sites with different levels of juniper encroachment

Creator:: Kendall, Zachary D.
Abstract:: Juniper (Juniperus spp.) encroachment into the sagebrush steppe ecoregion is one of the main causes of sagebrush degradation and can alter the understory vegetative community by outcompeting native shrubs and grasses, which reduces the available forage and cover for small mammals. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are generalist, omnivorous predators in the...

Isotopic Analysis of Diet Specificity in the Chisel-toothed Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys microps

Creator:: Guerre, Megan E.
Abstract:: Rapid changes in global climate have put many species at risk, particularly niche specialists. The Chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, Dipodomys microps, is thought to specialize on the desert shrub Atriplex confertifolia. Because of this close relationship, D. microps was presumed to have tracked the shrub as its distribution shifted south during...

The Disinformation Dozen and Media Misinformation on Science and Vaccinations

Creator:: Mabrey, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the need for people to trust in medical science. With the need for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity but 30% have reported vaccine hesitancy, now more than ever do we need to redouble our efforts to ensure...

Fluid dynamic analysis of fluid flow in a raceway tank for cultivation of macrophytic red algae, Gracilaria vermiculophylla

Creator:: Willis, Myles
Abstract:: As new cost-effective cultivation methods are needed for macrophytic red algae, this experiment expands upon a previously studied land-based approach. The experiment aimed to determine how the fluid dynamics of a previously researched land-based method affected the growth of the macrophytic red alga, Gracilaria Vermiculophylla. A clonal culture of G....

Supplemental Description of Myxobolus squamalis (Myxozoa) & Epidemiology of M. squamalis at Two Oregon Hatcheries

Creator:: Polley, Tamsen M.
Abstract:: Myxobolus squamalis is a Myxozoan parasite of salmonids, which contributes to lowered fitness of hatchery and wild fish in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The only GenBank DNA sequence of M. squamalis is from Oncorhynchus tschawytscha (Chinook), but is not linked to a published morphological description. There is a...
