Juvenile Salmonid Rearing Potential in Seasonally Disconnected Floodplain Habitats in the Skagit River, WA

Creator:: Hicks, Madeline C.
Abstract:: Our understanding of seasonally disconnected floodplains and how they function to support rearing salmonids in the Pacific Northwest is limited. Past studies have found that these dynamic habitats may provide high-risk, high-reward trade-offs for rearing fish. High prey densities and optimal temperatures allow for accelerated growth, but low water levels...

Effects of Stage 0 Stream Restoration on Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Production

Creator:: Jennings, Jeremy C.
Abstract:: Contemporary stream restoration efforts increasingly prioritize restoring natural stream processes to regain lost ecosystem functions. Stage 0 stream restoration resets disturbed, channelized streams to a theoretical pre-disturbance state (“stage zero”). It is assumed that this valley-scale restoration/disturbance will restore natural abiotic and biotic processes, leading to greater primary and secondary...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

Creator:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

Temporal Variation in the Prey Resource Portfolio of Juvenile Salmonids During Freshwater Rearing

Creator:: Brady, Megan E.
Abstract:: Freshwater rearing is a critical period in the life cycle of anadromous salmonids, known to produce carry-over effects mediating long-term growth and survival. Freshwater growth is primarily determined by food availability and temperature. While many species of salmon rear in freshwater for a full year or longer, most trophic ecology...

Evaluating Fish Rescue as a Drought Adaptation Strategy for Imperiled Coho Salmon: A Life-Cycle Modeling Approach

Creator:: Beebe, Brittany A.
Abstract:: Projected intensification of drought as a result of climate change may reduce the capacity of streams to rear fish, exacerbating the challenge of recovering ESA-listed salmon populations. Without management intervention, some stocks will likely go extinct as stream drying and fragmentation reduce juvenile survival to unsustainable levels. To offset drought-related...

Involvement of myristoylated alanine-rich c kinase substrate (MARCKS) protein in prostaglandin F2α- induced secretion of oxytocin by the bovine corpus luteum

Creator:: Salli, Ugur
Abstract:: Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...

The Effects of a Dietary Immunomodulatory Supplement on the Immune-Metabolic Axis in Growing Beef Cattle

Creator:: Armstrong, Shelby A.
Abstract:: To evaluate the immunologic and metabolic effects of OmniGen-AF® (Phibro Animal Health corporation, Quincy, IL; OG) supplementation in growing beef cattle, we designed three studies using replacement beef heifers (8.5 and 10.5 months of age) and steers supplemented across backgrounding, transition, and finishing periods. In Study 1, the effect of...

Customer needs elicitation and disability simulation suit validation to benefit knowledge and methods for inclusive product design

Creator:: Armstrong, Jessica
Abstract:: Current product design methodologies are not conducive to creating inclusive products (products that meet the needs of persons with and without disabilities). In order to reduce the effort and expense involved in creating inclusive products, empathic design principles are applied to discover whether customer needs for people with disabilities can...

Gathering information rich customer needs for inclusive product design

Creator:: Armstrong, Jessica
Abstract:: This work explores a framework for the gathering and analysis of information rich customer needs, with the goal of informing inclusive product design practice. The goal is to be able to provide information and experience to designers so that they can better understand the needs of exceptional users and include...

Modeling and simulation of reaction-diffusion problem applied to bioﬁlm growth

Creator:: Armstrong, Jessica S.
Abstract:: One method for CO2 sequestration is to store the liquid form of CO2 in small cement wells in the ground. An issue with this method is the susceptibility of cement to fracture and thus release the CO2. One proposition is to ﬁll these cracks with bioﬁlm of the bacteria Sporosarcina...
