Identifying and prioritizing research gaps for the incorporation of fires in life cycle analysis of structures: A Delphi survey of international experts

Creator:: Thorp, Tiana Noelani
Abstract:: Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...

An Ecological Assessment of a Potential Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) Reintroduction to the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kone, Dominique
Abstract:: Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) used to exist along coastlines throughout much of the North Pacific Ocean. During the Maritime Fur Trade, sea otters were extirpated from much of their historic range, including Oregon. There is renewed interest in reintroducing sea otters to Oregon. Managers seek improved understanding of the potential...

Things I Thought I Knew : An Exploration and Experimentation in Autobiography as Literature

Creator:: Sundberg, Brittany Kay
Abstract:: Autobiography is usually categorized with essays and other technical writings, and rarely considered creative or artistic literature in the public eye. This project explores the elements of autobiography and two authors who break the barriers of conventional practices to create works that also function as creative and artistic literature. Maya...

Exploring functional links between circadian clocks, neurodegeneration, and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Rakshit, Kuntol
Abstract:: Circadian clocks are endogenous molecular mechanisms that coordinate daily rhythms in gene expression, cellular activities, and physiological functions with external day/night cycles. Breakdown of circadian rhythms such as sleep/wake cycles is associated with the onset of several neurological diseases; however, it is not clear whether disruption of rhythms is a...

Oxidative Stress Response Genes: A Circadian Connection?

Creator:: McAllister, Marisa C.
Abstract:: Circadian clocks are internal mechanisms regulating many physiological processes. Research suggests that the circadian clock may regulate repair of cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), but molecular pathways from the clock to ROS repair are not known. The gene cncC, known in mammals as Nrf2, and its repressor...

Beach Dune Subsurface Hydrodynamics and the Formation of Dune Scarps

Creator:: Bond, Hailey G.
Abstract:: The formation of beach scarps is a challenging morphodynamic phenomenon that the coastal community has yet to capture in coastal change models. Understanding scarp formation is crucial to accurately predicting coastal erosion and vulnerability during extreme events, as models without parameters for scarp formation and development severely underpredict total erosion...

The Role of Emerging Pathogens in Amphibian Population Declines : Experimental Evidence

Creator:: Hambalek, Natalie M.
Abstract:: Rapid rates of biodiversity loss have supported the notion that Earth is experiencing a sixth major extinction event. The causes of worldwide biodiversity loss are multifaceted and context dependent. One of the most prominent groups experiencing population declines and extinctions are amphibians. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially...

Assessing disease impacts of hatcheries on downstream salmonids in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Jakaitis, Michelle
Abstract:: Hatcheries are often perceived as a source of pathogen amplification, potentially increasing disease risk to free-ranging populations; at the same time, free-ranging fishes may introduce pathogens into hatcheries through untreated water sources. Many pathogens exist naturally within the environment (with the exception of introduced pathogens) and the presence of a...

Understanding Circadian and Light-activated Transcriptional Regulatory Changes During Aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Fey, Rosalyn M.
Abstract:: Systems biology is a powerful approach which considers and sheds light on all of the puzzle pieces which make up complex biological processes, and is an effective alternative to unraveling these processes using traditional molecular approaches alone. It is a natural companion approach for computational biology, which leverages the power...

Engineering Services of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV): Investigation of the Land-Building and Energy-Attenuating Properties of SAV Habitats Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Holzenthal, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) species, such as seagrasses, are highly valued in estuaries because of the many economic, ecological, and cultural services that they provide, including shelter for fisheries, minimizing water turbidity, and improving am-bient water quality. SAV can also alter its physical environment by attenuating wave and current velocities,...
