Particulate Trace Metal Fluxes in the Western Arabian Sea and Their Links to Marine Productivity

Creator:: Flannery, Kelly M.
Abstract:: Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...

Dynamics of a population of mountain cottontail rabbits in central Oregon

Creator:: McKay, Donald Oren
Abstract:: Data from 186 mountain cottontail rabbits (Sylvilaus nuttallii) captured 455 times by livetrapping and from 46 rabbits collected by shooting were evaluated to determine monthly densities, survival rates, extent of movements, dispersion in relation to habitat types, and criteria for determining ages of mountain cottontails. Estimates of density computed for...

The interactions of Pratylenchus penetrans with host plants, Longidorus elongatus and Verticillium dahliae

Creator:: Yorston, John McKay
Abstract:: The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb 1917). Filipjev and Shuurmans Stekhoven, 1941, is widely distributed throughout Oregon and other temperate zones of the world. Economically it is probably the most important plant parasitic nematode in Oregon because of its abundance, wide host range of economic plants and interactions with other...

Claude McKay's Vision of Community in the African Diaspora : A Fresh Take on Home to Harlem and Banjo

Creator:: De Jesus, Michael A. (Michael Anthony)
Abstract:: This research examines the literary and philosophical dimensions of the African American Harlem Renaissance, beginning with the historical milieu of the early twentieth century. A social movement that became known as Uplift and the so-called Cabaret Movement emerged as important, competing literary and social ideologies within the Renaissance. W.E.B. Du...

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanoscale Devices made from Molybdenum Disulfide

Creator:: McKay, Zach and McKay, Zachary
Abstract:: Using a simple dry transfer process, I construct and characterize three nanoscale MoS2 devices using current-voltage curves, Raman spectroscopy, optical and atomic force microscopy. I compare these devices, the thinnest of which was few layer ( ≤ 10 nm) MoS₂ capable of showing photoconductance, with a current whose magnitude is...

Examining Evidence-based Intervention Sustainability and De-adoption in the Context of HIV Prevention

Creator:: McKay, Virginia R.
Abstract:: Evidence-based interventions (EBIs), which demonstrate efficacy in research settings, are rarely sustained when implemented in public health organizations. Rather, EBIs are often de-adopted - potentially undermining the positive benefits of the EBIs for the communities that access them. The lack of sustainability is particularly troubling among public health organizations that...

Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substance release from landfills and landfill model reactors

Creator:: Allred, Brent McKay
Abstract:: Research and public concern of poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as environmental contaminants has increased significantly due to the increasing number of reports of their detection in humans and wildlife. PFASs have a number of commercial applications including surfactants, coatings, polymers, and levelers, which are used on consumer products like...

Mechanisms of lactose utilization by lactic acid bacteria : enzymic and genetic studies

Creator:: McKay, Larry L.
Abstract:: To learn more about the role β-galactosidase plays in rate of acid production in milk by lactic acid bacteria, several lactobacilli were examined for this enzyme. Cells from different species were grown in lactose broth to induce β-galactosidase activity. The specific activities of whole, solvent treated cells, and of cell-free...

Co-planar integration of silicon integrated circuits and microﬂuidic networks for biosensor applications

Creator:: Lindsay, McKay W.
Abstract:: Silicon integrated circuit (IC) technology has enabled numerous electrical and optical sensors used in biological and chemical assays, where they can increase performance while decreasing cost and size compared to traditional detectors. There is signiﬁcant potential to further leverage IC technology for lab-on-chip applications, creating aﬀordable and portable medical diagnostic...

Autonomous in situ measurements of estuarine surface PCO₂ : instrument development and initial estuarine observations

Creator:: Wall, Colleen McKay
Abstract:: A novel, low-cost instrument capable of measuring surface water PCO₂ was designed for use in dynamic, shallow-water environments. The instrument was tested in the Yaquina River Estuary, a macrotidal estuary known to experience a wide range of conditions ranging from dominance by the coastal ocean during summer upwelling to substantial...
