Investigating the basis of substrate specificity in butane monooxygenase and chlorinated ethene toxicity in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Halsey, Kimberly H.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas butanovora, Mycobacterium vaccae, and Nocardioides sp. CF8 utilize distinctly different butane monooxygenases (BMOs) to initiate degradation of recalcitrant chlorinated ethenes (CEs) that pollute aquifers and soils. BMO-dependent degradation of CEs such as trichloroethylene (TCE) can lead to cellular toxicities. The type and severity of TCE transformation-dependent damage can have...

The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Dissolved nitrogen in surface waters and nitrogen mineralization in riparian soils within a multi-land use basin

Creator:: Evans, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The growing population of Oregon’s Willamette River Basin places an increasing demand on the basin’s surface waters. Watershed-scale research addressing spatial trends of dissolved nitrogen (DN) and its relationship with landuse and soil N dynamics, such as N mineralization, is sparse in the Willamette Basin. I measured DN along 124...

Likelihood analysis of the multivariate ordinal probit model for repeated and spatial ordered categorical responses

Creator:: Li, Yonghai
Abstract:: This dissertation is about the likelihood analysis of ordered categorical responses in a longitudinal/spatial study, meaning regression-like analysis when the response variable is categorical with ordered categories, and is measured repeatedly over time or space on the experimental or sampling units. Particular attention is given to the multivariate ordinal probit...

Regression calibration and maximum likelihood inference for measurement error models

Creator:: Monleon-Moscardo, Vicente J.
Abstract:: Regression calibration inference seeks to estimate regression models with measurement error in explanatory variables by replacing the mismeasured variable by its conditional expectation, given a surrogate variable, in an estimation procedure that would have been used if the true variable were available. This study examines the effect of the uncertainty...

Marine habitat use of black-footed and Laysan albatrosses during the post-breeding season and their spatial and temporal overlap with commercial fisheries

Creator:: Fischer, Karen Naess
Abstract:: Incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries has been identified as a threat to black-footed albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatrosses (P. immutabilis). Effective long-term conservation of these albatrosses necessitates a thorough understanding of their marine distribution, which marine habitats are selected during foraging, and where they are most likely to interact...

Riparian vegetation and larval Pacific Giant (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and adult Western Redback (Plethodon vehiculum) salamanders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Graff, Paula (Paula Hayes)
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest provide important biotic and abiotic features, such as down wood, moist microsites, and abundant invertebrate prey that benefit aquatic and terrestrial amphibians. Reported high densities of amphibians from streams and riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest highlight their importance in riparian food webs. Amphibians...

Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds

Creator:: Krissman, Cortnie M.
Abstract:: North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining habitat is fragmented or degraded by invasive species, fire suppression and overgrazing. Sagebrush-obligate species are experiencing population declines as a result...
