Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:: Brown, Nathaniel M.
Abstract:: Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

Cycles of life and landscape : interpreting the geological foundation of Shenandoah National Park

Creator:: Kelly, Wendy Sonya
Abstract:: The significance of geology is commonly overlooked by the general public and underrepresented in free-choice learning environments including national parks that exhibit spectacular examples of geological features and processes. Parks are a major contributor to public learning, and a key way to teach how geology influences many aspects of our...

Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

Creator:: Theis, Susan A. F.
Abstract:: Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

Food Insecurity Among Oregon College Students : Their Experiences and Perspectives

Creator:: Sutton, Juliet
Abstract:: This thesis examines the food insecurity experiences of student clients of the Oregon State University Emergency Food Pantry. Utilizing semi‐structured interviews and participant observation at the food pantry, this study investigated who is using the food pantry, the forms of food insecurity they experience, how they cope with it, and...

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Assessing tribal water rights settlements as a means for resolving disputes over instream flow claims : a comparative case approach

Creator:: Rancier, Racquel
Abstract:: Tribal water rights and instream flows for species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have been a source of tensions in the western United States, particularly when tribes have undetermined water rights to support tribal fisheries listed under the ESA. Understanding the mechanics of past tribal settlements and their...

Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

Creator:: Hosaka, Kentaro
Abstract:: Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...

Investigation of the Initial Stages of SiGe(001) Dry Thermal Oxidation Using Ambient-Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:: Lorona, Shane P.
Abstract:: Ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to study the initial stages of dry thermal oxidation of Si₀.₆₀Ge₀.₄₀(001) grown epitaxially on Si(001). Chemical state resolved AP-XPS was performed at temperatures up to 300 ˚C and O₂ pressures up to 1 mbar. Comparisons were made to Si(001) and Ge(001). The Si...

Global Citizen, Global Consumer: Study Abroad, Neoliberal Convergence, and the Eat, Pray, Love Phenomenon

Creator:: Barbour, Nancy Staton
Abstract:: This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion. Finding such narratives to be freighted with ethnocentric constructs and tacit endorsements of market-based globalization, I critique the mainstreaming of...

Under the Shadow of this Red Rock: Reading T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land for its Places, Persons, and Poetics

Creator:: Summers, Stephen James
Abstract:: Thomas Stearns Eliot’s 1922 modernist poem The Waste Land presents itself as an alternative to the decaying society Eliot found himself inhabiting. It begins as a personal means of pulling together one’s fragmented consciousness, but in doing so Eliot manages to present a solution to a world of selfishness—looking beyond...
