Reliability Analysis of a Freeze Desalination System

Creator:: Boschetti Tofano, Francisco A.
Abstract:: The unsustainable use of fresh water sources and unavailability of fresh water in certain parts of the world have created a demand for water desalination systems. Desalination methods are effective at producing consumable water, but often require large scale setups, high energy consumption, and careful maintenance. A team of students...

Evaluation of novel swim-up approaches on canine sperm progressive motility, concentration, morphology, and acrosome reaction

Creator:: Lengele, Amber
Abstract:: Introduction: Swim-up has been considered a preferred method for separating non-motile sperm in an ejaculate. However, the long incubation time and equipment necessary for swim-up make this process clinically impractical. It was hypothesized that these problems could be avoided for canine applications with a shorter incubation time at room temperature...

Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

Creator:: Wile, Dylan
Abstract:: Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

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...

Strain-specific effects of the herbicide RoundUp on diverse natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Taggard, Savannah K.
Abstract:: The safety of the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUpTM, has been questioned on numerous occasions. Previous studies suggest that glyphosate-containing herbicides have deleterious effects on a variety of organisms; other studies suggest that these effects may be minor, transient, or non-existent altogether. Proper maintenance of microbial...

Development of Fluorometric Assay for the Determination of β-glucosidase Activity in Brewing Yeasts

Creator:: Molitor, Andrew
Abstract:: Glycosides are natural molecules found in many plants and hold potential to release new flavors and aromas into alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine. One way to free these flavors and aromas is by enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by βglucosidase. The activities of β-glucosidase are strain and species dependent in yeast...

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...

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...

Aesthetics of Curve Approximation

Creator:: Lippincott, Keith
Abstract:: In this work we propose a curve approximation method that operates in the curvature domain. The curvature is represented using one of several different types of basis functions (linear, quadratic, spline, sinusoidal, orthogonal polynomial), and the curve's geometry is reconstructed from that curvature basis. Our hypothesis is that different curvature...

Freeze-thaw cycles in permafrost soils and their impacts on the climate: A literature review

Creator:: Bergmann, Maya K.
Abstract:: Climate change is occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, with impacts heightened in the cold regions of the world including the Arctic. Warming effects are widespread, with one impacted process – freeze-thaw cycles – increasing in frequency and potentially triggering additional changes in permafrost soils that have previously acted as...
