The role of subduction fluids in generating compositionally diverse basalts in the Cascadia subduction zone

Creator:

Rowe, Michael C.

Abstract:

The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of a subduction component added to the mantle wedge beneath the Oregon Cascades to the composition and fO2 of primitive Cascade basalts. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions from compositionally diverse basalts across the Cascade arc (~100 km) are utilized in an...

Genetic dissection of Victoria blight disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Creator:

Sweat, Teresa A.

Abstract:

The fungus Cochliobolus victoriae causes Victoria blight of oats and Arabidopsis and is pathogenic due to its production of a compound called victorin, which induces programmed cell death in sensitive plants. Victorin sensitivity in Arabidopsis is conferred by the dominant gene LOCUS ORCHESTRATING VICTORIN EFFECTS1 (LOV1), which encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide...

Energetics and mechanics of swing phase during terrestrial locomotion

Creator:

Nelson, Frank E.

Abstract:

Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...
