The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

Creator:: Kadhim, Kyra L.
Abstract:: The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

Performance of Brettanomyces Yeast Strains in Primary and Secondary Beer Fermentations

Creator:: Humbert, Riley
Abstract:: Recently, there has been an expansion of large-scale studies looking at strain variation of Brettanomyces. These studies have found variation between strains in terms of utilization of maltose and production of volatile phenols. While there is research going into this subject, there is a gap in knowledge regarding the differences...

Heart Disease Knowledge, Awareness, and Perceived Risk in Oregon State University Students

Creator:: Hirsch, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. but is often thought of as a man’s disease. Women with CVD, however, suffer poorer health outcomes due to previous education of stereotypically “male” signs and symptoms of heart attacks, despite the fact...

Enteromius pinnimaculatus (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae), a new species from Southern Gabon

Creator:: Mipounga, Hans Kevin, Cutler, Joseph, Mve Beh, Jean Hervé, Adam, Benjamin, and Sidlauskas, Brian L.
Abstract:: With more than 407 species of freshwater and brackish water fishes, Gabon is a country rich in ichthyological biodiversity, but its aquatic environments remain poorly explored. We present and describe a new species of Enteromius, adding to the 16 species of Enteromius currently recorded from that country. This new species...

Numbering-Up of Microscale Devices for Megawatt-Scale Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Concentrating Solar Power Receivers

Creator:: Zada, Kyle R., Hyder, Matthew B., Drost, M. Kevin, and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have the potential to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable resources and greenhouse gas emissions in electricity production. In CSP systems, a field of heliostats focuses solar radiation on a central receiver, and energy is then transferred to a thermal power plant at high temperature. However,...

Discharge and suspended sediment a paired watershed study examining the effects of contemporary forest harvesting in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hatten, Jeff, Segura, Catalina, Bladon, Kevin, Hale, Cody, Ice, George, and Stednick, John
Abstract:: Forest harvesting practices can expose mineral soils, decrease infiltration capacities of soils, disturb the stream bank and channel, and increase erosion and fine sediment supply to stream channels. To reduce nonpoint source sediment pollution associated with forest management activities and to maintain the high water quality typically provided from forests,...

Monomerization of far-red fluorescent proteins

Creator:: Wannier, Timothy M., Gillespie, Sarah K., Hutchins, Nicholas, McIsaac, R. Scott, Wu, Sheng-Yi, Shen, Yi, Campbell, Robert E., Brown, Kevin S., and Mayo, Stephen L.
Abstract:: Anthozoa-class red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) are frequently used as biological markers, with far-red (lambda(em) similar to 600-700 nm) emitting variants sought for whole-animal imaging because biological tissues are more permeable to light in this range. A barrier to the use of naturally occurring RFP variants as molecular markers is that...

Abstract:: With the ongoing crisis of biodiversity loss and limited resources for conservation, the concept of biodiversity hotspots has been useful in determining conservation priority areas. However, there has been limited research into how temporal variability in biodiversity may influence conservation area prioritization. To address this information gap, we present an...

Abstract:: While there is a persistent inverse relationship between latitude and species diversity across many taxa and ecosystems, deviations from this norm offer an opportunity to understand the conditions that contribute to large-scale diversity patterns. Marine systems, in particular, provide such an opportunity, as marine diversity does not always follow a...

The Holocene retreat dynamics and stability of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland

Creator:: Jakobsson, Martin, Hogan, Kelly A., Mayer, Larry A., Mix, Alan, Jennings, Anne, Stoner, Joe, Eriksson, Bjorn, Jerram, Kevin, Mohammad, Rezwan, Pearce, Christof, Reilly, Brendan, and Stranne, Christian
Abstract:: Submarine glacial landforms in fjords are imprints of the dynamic behaviour of marine-terminating glaciers and are informative about their most recent retreat phase. Here we use detailed multibeam bathymetry to map glacial landforms in Petermann Fjord and Nares Strait, northwestern Greenland. A large grounding-zone wedge (GZW) demonstrates that Petermann Glacier...

Abstract:: During their migrations, marine predators experience varying levels of protection and face many threats as they travel through multiple countries' jurisdictions and across ocean basins. Some populations are declining rapidly. Contributing to such declines is a failure of some international agreements to ensure effective cooperation by the stakeholders responsible for...
