20 GB in 10 minutes: a case for linking major biodiversity databases using an open socio-technical infrastructure and a pragmatic, cross-institutional collaboration

Creator:: Thessen, Anne E., Poelen, Jorrit H., Collins, Matthew, and Hammock, Jen
Abstract:: Biodiversity information is made available through numerous databases that each have their own data models, web services, and data types. Combining data across databases leads to new insights, but is not easy because each database uses its own system of identifiers. In the absence of stable and interoperable identifiers, databases...

Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

Creator:: Nguyen, Duy M.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...

Spatiotemporal distribution of the anti-diabetic drug, metformin, in the lower Columbia River and its effect on phytoplankton growth

Creator:: Cummings, Brittany M.
Abstract:: Water quality impacts both human and ecosystem health. Many pharmaceuticals and personal care products are considered contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) due to their bioactive properties. Among these, metformin—the most commonly prescribed drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes—has been reported at high concentrations (μg L⁻¹) in stream, lake, and...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Genomic Shifts under Different Agricultural Management Systems

Creator:: King, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Although the concept of breeding crops for organic agricultural systems has been around for decades, few studies have been reported for vegetable crops to quantify and compare how conventional and organic systems differ in their selection pressures on genotypes advancing through the breeding cycle; especially research utilizing modern sequencing capabilities....

Elicitors: A Novel Tool for Controlling the Colorado Potato Beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Creator:: Butcher, Alexander M.
Abstract:: Over the last several decades, potato production has increased globally as it has been recognized as an important component to improving food security. However, potato production has been continuously challenged by pests. Current pest management practices rely heavily on chemical pesticides. Unfortunately, the overuse of pesticides can be harmful to...

Building a multi-scaled geospatial temporal ecology database from disparate data sources: fostering open science and data reuse

Creator:: Soranno, Patricia A., Bissell, Edward G., Cheruvelil, Kendra S., Christel, Samuel T., Collins, Sarah M., Fergus, C. Emi, Filstrup, Christopher T., Lapierre, Jean-Francois, Lottig, Noah R., Oliver, Samantha K., Scott, Caren E., Smith, Nicole J., Stopyak, Scott, Yuan, Shuai, Bremigan, Mary Tate, Downing, John A., Gries, Corinna, Henry, Emily N., Skaff, Nick K., Stanley, Emily H., Stow, Craig A., Tan, Pang-Ning, Wagner, Tyler, and Webster, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Although there are considerable site-based data for individual or groups of ecosystems, these datasets are widely scattered, have different data formats and conventions, and often have limited accessibility. At the broader scale, national datasets exist for a large number of geospatial features of land, water, and air that are needed...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Structure and role for active site lid of lactate monooxygenase from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Creator:: Kean, Kelsey M. and Karplus, P. Andrew
Abstract:: Lactate monooxygenase (LMO) catalyzes the FMN-dependent "coupled" oxidation of lactate and O-2 to acetate, carbon dioxide, and water, involving pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide as enzyme-bound intermediates. Other alpha-hydroxy acid oxidase family members follow an "uncoupled pathway," wherein the alpha-keto acid product quickly dissociates before the reduced flavin reacts with oxygen....

Tracking North Pacific Humpback Whales To Unravel Their Basin-Wide Movements

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel M., Mate, Bruce R., Baker, C. Scott, Hayslip, Craig E., Follett, Thomas M., Steel, Debbie, Lagerquist, Barbara A., Irvine, Ladd M., and Winsor, Martha H.
Abstract:: In 2014, Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a multi-year project to study humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrations in the North Pacific Ocean using satellite tracking technology in combination with genetic and photo-identification (photo-ID) analyses. The study is highly relevant to management, given the need for new information arising from the...
