Relative abundance and habitat associations of small mammals in two forest types in southern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Aaron N.
Abstract:: I studied small-mammal communities and their response to grazing in mixed-conifer forests and oak woodlands in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. My objectives were to (1) compare small-mammal communities among forest types and grazing intensities, (2) identify riparian affiliated species, and (3) describe microhabitat associations. Over two years,...

Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

Creator:: Dawes, Jacob
Abstract:: Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

Data Mining a Design Repository for Automating and Validating Functional Modeling

Creator:: Mikes, Alex B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to build a foundation of understanding and methodologies as the steps toward automating functional modeling. We have achieved significant progress in the automatic generation of functional representations, which can be connected at the interface of components to create a functional model. This work highlights...

Development of a Paper-Based Whole Blood Phenylalanine Assay for PKU Diagnosis and Monitoring in Low Resource Settings

Creator:: Robinson, Robert Tyler
Abstract:: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic inborn metabolic disorder which inhibits the functional production of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). It currently affects one in 15,000 Americans and is the most common amino acid metabolism error found in newborns. Individuals affected with PKU are incapable of metabolizing the amino acid, phenylalanine...

Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

Influence of landscape-scale variables on the age and growth of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii in headwater streams

Creator:: Rehe, William G., Jr.
Abstract:: This thesis provides the first general description of the natural variation in age structure, growth rates, and survival in headwater populations of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii from western Oregon, and a subsequent synthesis of these life-history characteristics across the range of the subspecies. Age, growth, and survival were...

Exploring IMU Attitude and Position Estimation for Improved Location in Indoor Environments

Creator:: Zhang, Shengkai
Abstract:: Wearable sensors with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) are popular for indoor positioning and activity pattern detection. The IMUs can be connected to a wireless transmission module, allowing users to monitor and process motion-related parameters remotely. Because of the complexity and uncertainty of signals in indoor environments, a radio frequency...

Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

Creator:: Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
Abstract:: The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

Oxygenate Reactions over PdCu and PdAg Catalysts: Influence of Electronic and Geometric Effects

Creator:: Bathena, Tanmayi
Abstract:: Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...

The MAV_4644 dual-function channel protein with putative ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of Mycobacterium avium is required for virulence within host macrophages

Creator:: Lewis, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment and often isolated from faucets and showerheads. MAH mostly infects humans with an underlying disease, such as chronic pulmonary disorder (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), or are immunocompromised, though infections in patients without concurrent disease are...
