Changes in Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest Soils After Wildfire

Creator:: Hughes, Abby
Abstract:: The soil microbiome drives nutrient transformation in forest soils and plays a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle of these ecosystems. Wildfires cause significant disturbance to ecosystems and are known to alter C sources available to microbes in forest soils. Summer wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are of growing...

Janus-Type Wicking Microfluidic Devices for Separation and Collection of Plasma from Blood

Creator:: Unitan, Linus J.
Abstract:: A simple Janus-type membrane-based wicking microfluidic device fabricated on a polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber membrane enables separation and collection of blood plasma or serum from whole blood. This device bridges the wicking and cut-capillary-based solution transport mechanisms in a single membrane. The initial portion of the device is fabricated using selective...

Biocuration of rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor networks involved in abiotic stress response

Creator:: El-Husseini, Sarah
Abstract:: Rice (Oryza sativa) is a common crop found in various regions worldwide where it is considered a staple food. Though widespread, O. sativa plants' growth, development, and yield are affected by environmental/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, etc. Particularly, salinity stress leads to dehydration, overwhelms potassium pumps, and...

Interaction of the human Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 protein (VDAC-1) with Mycobacterium avium and its role in bacterial survival within phagocytic cells

Creator:: Pham, Tuan
Abstract:: M. avium is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects macrophages. In order to survive within the macrophage, M. avium secretes proteins into the host cell cytoplasm to inhibit specific functions such as phagosome acidification, altering pathways as well as initiating apoptosis. However, little is known about how those secreted proteins...

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...

Practicality Over Partisanship: The Prospect of Universal Healthcare in the United States

Creator:: Brundage, Simon A.
Abstract:: My study of universal healthcare was motivated by the juxtaposition of social welfare and self-interest in the United States. Unlike most other industrialized countries—whom have adopted either a multi-payer or single-payer system of universal healthcare—the United States is situated uniquely, from both a philosophical and political standpoint. Among others, it...

Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

Creator:: Lu, Lin
Abstract:: Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

Songbird feathers as indicators of mercury exposure : Patterns across feather tracts and correlations to other tissues

Creator:: Low, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Monitoring mercury (Hg) exposure in avian populations is critical to understanding the effects of this neurotoxin. Avian Hg exposure is commonly evaluated by measuring Hg concentrations in internal tissues, blood, and feathers. Feathers are a popular sampling matrix due to ease of sampling and limited stress to birds. However, it...

Social Determinants to Real FreedomsAn Empirical Development of the Capabilities Approach

Creator:: Trujillo, Michael A.
Abstract:: In the Capabilities Approach literature “capabilities” are the real freedoms individuals possess to achieve certain “functionings,” which are the doings and beings that constitute a good life. I argue that this approach requires, or at least can benefit from, an account of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in capability limitation. The...

Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

Creator:: Beery, Aidan J.
Abstract:: Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...
