  • A Plan for Implementing a Clean Marina Program in Oregon

    Creator:
    Feindel, Kristin B.
    Abstract:
    Nonpoint source pollution is currently the major source of water pollution in Oregon as well as the United States as a whole. The Environmental Protection Agency designated marinas as one of the sources of nonpoint pollution to coastal waters. In an effort to reduce nonpoint pollution from marinas and to...

  • Physical activity levels of students with and without a disability in inclusive and self contained physical education

    Creator:
    Sweeney, Kristin B.
    Abstract:
    As obesity rates of children and adolescents rise within the Unites States, physical activity becomes increasingly important for adolescents with and without a disability. As the trend toward increased obesity rates in adolescents continues, there are similiar increases in the percentage of children being educated in inclusive settings. The purpose...

  • Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

    Creator:
    Skinner, Kristin M.
    Abstract:
    Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

  • Chronobiology of garter snakes : environmental and hormonal mechanisms mediating hibernation and reproduction

    Creator:
    Lutterschmidt, Deborah I.
    Abstract:
    Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing...

  • Exercise, nutrition, and homocysteine

    Creator:
    Joubert, Lanae Marie
    Abstract:
    Exercise increases B-vitamin (B6, B12, folate) dependent metabolic reactions, especially those related to energy production and the rebuilding and repairing of muscle tissue. These same B-vitamins are also important in maintaining low blood levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Hcy levels rise when the metabolism of...

  • Development, validation and the application of a congener specific photodegradation model for PBDEs

    Creator:
    Zeng, Xia
    Abstract:
    The thermodynamic properties of 39 PBDEs have been calculated using Gaussian 03 on the B3LYP/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The PBDE congeners' enthalpies of formation increase with increasing number of bromines and show a strong dependence on the bromine substitution pattern. The effects of bromine substitution pattern have been quantitatively studied by GAM...

  • Endogenous and antiviral RNA silencing pathways in Arabidopsis

    Creator:
    Chapman, Elisabeth J.
    Abstract:
    RNA silencing pathways are required for a wide variety of processes in most eucaryotes. In plants, small-interfering RNA (siRNA) arising from transposons and other repetitive sequences is associated with heterochromatin formation and maintenance. MicroRNAs and trans-acting siRNAs encoded at discrete loci function as negative regulators of gene expression by triggering...

  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • Revegetation with Carex nebrascensis and Carex utriculata following reconstruction in a NE Oregon meadow stream

    Creator:
    Quistberg, Sarah E.
    Abstract:
    Riparian vegetation is an essential component for the maintenance and/or repair of channel stability and function. Sedges within low-gradient riparian systems provide the structure necessary for sediment trapping leading to channel narrowing through bank building processes. Planting success in riparian restoration projects has often failed due to inappropriate species selection,...

    Creator:
    Morales-Warming, Melissa
    Abstract:
    White women’s experiences with major institutions, the church included, often are generalized to other women’s experiences, much like how the experience of men in often represented as the experience of all humankind. In 2001 Elaine Howard Ecklund studied white lay women in the Catholic Church and explored two questions: What...
