Weevils That Live Under Trees Thrown Out of the Sea: Phylogeny and Microbial Diversity of Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845 and Related Weevils (Curculionidae: Molytinae)

Creator:: Young, Natasha
Abstract:: Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...

Molecular origins of peptide entrapment in polyethylene oxide layers

Creator:: Wu, Xiangming
Abstract:: A more quantitative understanding of peptide entrapment and elution from otherwise protein-repellent polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers will provide direction for development of new strategies for drug storage and delivery. Here we describe criteria for peptide integration and structural change within the PEO brush, and discuss the reversibility of peptide...

Speak to Us : How to Get Millennials to Vote

Creator:: Shepherd, Gabriel S.
Abstract:: It is often noted that young adults tend to be apathetic towards involvement in the political process. The aim of this study is to scratch the surface of this phenomena and, in a scientific fashion, begin to discover if this can be changed. In the study, press releases from members...

Assessing Mercury Levels, Health Metrics, and Immune Function in Non-stranded Male California and Steller Sea Lions in Oregon

Creator:: Rae, Samantha N.
Abstract:: California and Steller sea lions (Zalophus californianus, Eumetopias jubatus, respectively) are considered sentinel species because they have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed at high trophic levels, and have large blubber stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic toxicants. There are few studies on sea lion health and...

Inotropic and Chronotropic Effects of Sotalol in Healthy Dogs

Creator:: Treseder, Julia R.
Abstract:: Sotalol is a class III anti-arrhythmic drug with class II properties that is commonly used in the treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in dogs. The anti-arrhythmic effects of sotalol are mediated by an increase in action potential duration and prolongation of atrial and ventricular repolarization via antagonism of the delayed rectifier...

Molecular Analysis of Environmental Water Samples as a Monitoring Method for the Fish Parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis

Creator:: Howell, Claire K.
Abstract:: Parasites are ubiquitous members of ecological communities, capable of contributing to the decline of vulnerable populations. Therefore, monitoring parasite level is a critical component for host management. Molecular tools, such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), can be valuable additions to monitoring protocols that assess parasitic disease risk to hosts....

Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

Creator:: Driscoll, Connor B.
Abstract:: The advent of improved DNA sequencing technologies has allowed the analysis of various microbial communities. Bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacteria can produce toxins and taste-and-odor compounds that can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Here, I have employed second- and third-generation sequencing technologies to characterize bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterial genomes and their associated heterotrophic...

An assessment of a mesh-based method for slab-geometry transport in stochastic materials

Creator:: Bassett, Brody R.
Abstract:: There exists a variety of methods to solve the radiation transport equation in stochastic materials, including the Levermore-Pomraning method and the atomic mix method, each of which is designed to replicate the results given by benchmarks with materials rearranged in a randomized fashion. While the atomic mix method is very...

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 comparative analysis of household owned woodlots and fuelwood sufficiency between female and male headed households : a pilot study in rural Malawi, Africa

Creator:: Chikoko, Mercy Gwazeni
Abstract:: Fuelwood is a basic need for rural households in Malawi. However, deforestation has reduced the quantity of forest products such as fuelwood available to households. This has negatively affected rural Malawian quality of life, especially for women who are forced to walk long distances to collect fuelwood, prepare foods with...
