Classifying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon bioactivities using phenotypic screening and transcriptomics in the developmental zebrafish model

Creator:: Geier, Mitra Celestine
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental contaminants that occur in complex mixtures. These environmental mixtures can consist of both parent PAHs and their derivatives. Several parent PAHs are known or suspected mutagens and/or carcinogens, and a handful of PAH derivatives are known to be more potent mutagens and/or carcinogens...

Steady State Modeling of the Minimum Critical Core of the Transient Reactor Test Facility

Creator:: Alberti, Anthony L.
Abstract:: With the advent of next generation reactor systems and new fuel designs, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the need for the resumption of transient testing of nuclear fuels. The DOE has decided that the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is best suited...

Fishing for Hypoxia: Exploring Coastal Oxygen Dynamics and Predictability of Low Oxygen Episodes through a Partnership with the Oregon Dungeness Crab Fishing Fleet

Creator:: Stoltz, Linus O.
Abstract:: Coastal hypoxia, or low oxygen episodes pose a threat to marine resources in the Pacific Northwest. Previous research into nearshore oxygen dynamics have linked coastal upwelling to this seasonally occurring phenomenon, however the manifestation of hypoxic waters over coastal fishing grounds was not well understood. Through a partnership with Dungeness...

Development of satellite bloom detection products for coastal Oregon

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Two bloom-detection products were developed for the Oregon coast that describe the relative percent change observed between successive pairs of 8-day chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line-height (FLH) products obtained from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft (MODIS-Aqua). The CHL[subscript dev] and FLH[subscript dev] products, respectively, were optimized...

Post-harvest establishment influences ANPP, soil C and DOC export in complex mountainous terrain

Creator:: Peterson, Fox S.
Abstract:: The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem stocks and functions, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and belowground productivity have also been related to the...

Above and Below : Oregon Coastal Phytoplankton Bloom Dynamics from Sea and Space

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Phytoplankton are a sentinel class of organisms in the marine environment. Through their photosynthetic activity in sunlit waters worldwide, phytoplankton shape the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and impact the global climate. In this work a range of ocean sensing technologies (via ships, surf zone sampling, moorings, gliders, and...

The effects of natural fire and recreational disturbance on montane forest ecosystem composition, structure and nitrogen dynamics, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, John K. (John Kevin)
Abstract:: Disturbance, whether natural or of human origin, modifies to varying degrees many ecosystem attributes. Fire is a natural process in the montane forests of southern Oregon but for much of the 20th century fire was viewed as an apocalypse and thus fervently suppressed. Effective natural resource management requires an understanding...

Stability and biological responses of zinc oxide metalworking nanofluids (ZnO MWnF™)

Creator:: Niyaghi, Faraz
Abstract:: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have demonstrated the ability to improve lubrication and thermal conductivity, and stand as promising metalworking lubricant and coolant additives due to their low cost compared to other NPs. While nanomaterials are a focus of research due to their potential to enable advanced technologies, little is...

A computational-based methodology for the rapid determination of initial AP location for WLAN deployment

Creator:: Altamirano, Esteban
Abstract:: The determination of the optimal location of transceivers is a critical design factor when deploying a wireless local area network (WLAN). The performance of the WLAN will improve in a variety of aspects when the transceivers' locations are adequately determined, including the overall cell coverage to the battery life of...

Transcriptomic approaches for discovering regenerative and developmental regulatory networks in zebrafish

Creator:: Garland, Michael A.
Abstract:: Zebrafish are capable of fully regenerating organs and tissue such as their caudal fin, which is similar to a human regrowing an arm or a leg. In contrast, most mammals including humans have a greatly reduced capacity for wound healing. The ability of zebrafish to undergo this regenerative process, called...
