Using stable isotopes and visual gut examination to determine the diet composition of Pterostichus melanarius (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in western Oregon vegetable row crops

Creator:: Moulton, Laurel A.
Abstract:: The omnivorous ground beetle, Pterostichus melanarius Illager (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is a ubiquitous inhabitant of western Oregon crop land. Because it is often the most abundant ground beetle, and attains densities that could lead to serious impacts on its prey sources, I sought to understand the overall diet composition, and specifically...

Assessing an Adult Zebrafish Model for In Vivo Delivery of Morpholino Oligomers

Creator:: Kim, Joseph Y.
Abstract:: Antisense morpholino oligomers are synthetic macromolecules can modify gene expression. While these compounds have great potential to treat a broad range of human diseases, they suffer from poor cellular delivery. Conjugating cell-penetrating peptides onto these morpholinos is one option of addressing delivery, however development remains slow due to the cost...

Investigating the Impact of Temperature and Air Quality on Human Health in At-Risk Populations

Creator:: Evoy, Richard E.
Abstract:: Climate change is causing people around the world to experience extreme temperature and air pollution events such as wildfires more frequently, and for longer periods of time. Extreme heat events have been widely associated with an increased risk of emergency room visits, occupational heat-related injuries and illnesses, and mortality overall...

Fatal and non-fatal work-related injuries onboard freezer-trawlers and freezer-longliners in Alaska : an in-depth evaluation

Creator:: Lucas, Devin L.
Abstract:: Vessel disasters (e.g., vessels capsizing, sinking, grounding, burning) are the leading contributor to occupational fatalities in the U.S. commercial fishing industry. Vessel disasters are a vital area to target prevention efforts, yet it has been suggested that results produced in scientific studies are not efficiently exchanged between researchers, regulatory bodies...

Improving Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Surveillance: Focusing on Enhancing Surveillance Methods and Evaluation

Creator:: Yang, Liu
Abstract:: Work-related hazards and exposures affect human health and well-being. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) surveillance is fundamental to the public health approach. OSH surveillance provides important data on the occurrence and magnitude of the problem and risk/protective factors. A wide variety of OSH surveillance programs and systems have been established...

Occupational Safety and Health in Alaska's Seafood Processing Industry

Creator:: Syron, Laura N.
Abstract:: Although the seafood processing industry is vital to Alaska’s economy, limited research has addressed workers’ safety and health. Federal and state regulators have classified both offshore and onshore seafood processing worksites in Alaska as high-hazard environments; however, there is a dearth of published information on safety and health outcomes in...

Surfgrasses (Phyllospadix spp.) as dynamic foundation species for macroinvertebrates along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Moulton, Orissa M.
Abstract:: Foundation species are important components of ecosystems because they provide habitat and ameliorate stressful conditions for residents. This thesis considers the role of surfgrasses (Phyllospadix spp.) as dynamic foundation species on the coast of Oregon in two studies. Chapter 2, which presents an observational survey of two Phyllospadix congeners, investigates...

Growth, Condition, and Survival of Larval Arctic Cod and Walleye Pollock in a Warming Ocean

Creator:: Koenker, Brittany L.
Abstract:: Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is an ecologically significant species that plays a critical role channeling energy throughout the Arctic marine food web. Arctic cod is uniquely adapted to occupy ice edge habitats, however, a basic understanding of its larval physiology and habitat requirements is lacking due to widespread sea ice...

Microbial and biochemical dynamics of ectomycorrhizal mat and non-mat forest soils

Creator:: Kluber, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Dense hyphal mats formed by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are prominent features in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest soils and have been estimated to cover up to 40% of the forest floor in some stands. Although previous studies have examined various aspects of EcM fungi, little is known about their associated microbial...

A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

Creator:: Kash, Laurel Renee
Abstract:: Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...
