Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

Creator:: Horne, Dylan Ross
Abstract:: Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...

Functional consequences of microRNA regulation by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in 3D human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:: Mans, Michael-Andres D.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of contaminants ubiquitous in the environment and result from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Many PAHs have been identified as procarcinogenic, and are metabolized to form DNA adducts; however, other mechanisms also may contribute to toxicity and help explain differences in toxicity...

The Influence of Traditional Shoes, Minimal Shoes and Barefoot on Ankle Kinematics in Youth During Running

Creator:: Hartman, Hunter
Abstract:: Introduction: Research has demonstrated that minimal shoes may help prevent ankle injuries by mimicking natural barefoot running. It has been proven that minimal shoes may help adults prevent injuries in the correct conditions, but little is known about the effect of minimal and barefoot running on youth kinematics. Purpose: To...

Grassland Arthropods Are Controlled by Direct and Indirect Interactions with Cattle but Are Largely Unaffected by Plant Provenance

Creator:: Farrell, Kelly Anne, Harpole, W. Stanley, Stein, Claudia, Suding, Katharine N., and Borer, Elizabeth T.
Abstract:: Cattle grazing and invasion by non-native plant species are globally-ubiquitous changes occurring to plant communities that are likely to reverberate through whole food webs. We used a manipulative field experiment to quantify how arthropod community structure differed in native and non-native California grassland communities in the presence and absence of...

Stomach Analysis of Top Aquatic Predators in a Headwater Stream Network

Creator:: Ain, Najma
Abstract:: Top predators play important roles in regulating communities and ecosystem processes in freshwater ecosystems. In the headwater stream network, it is crucial to understand the interspecific interaction between multiple predators. In Oregon forested ecosystems, Coastal Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii) are the top predators in many...

A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

Creator:: Breen, Anna K.
Abstract:: Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

Bacterial seed endophytes of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and their potential to confer drought tolerance

Creator:: Hatwal, Shikhar
Abstract:: Bacterial endophytes have the potential to confer benefits to Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ), for instance drought tolerance. Bacterial endophytes originating from seeds are especially important. This is because seed endophytes are more likely to be the first endophytes to get established within the young host plant. The goals of...

VOC Emisions and Categorization in Axenic Growth Conditions by Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Creator:: Thompson, Douglas A.
Abstract:: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an integral role in climate change and as a carbon source for organisms living in a marine environment. These compounds have many sources, but the impacts of biogenically produced VOCs is not fully known. Phaeodactylum tricornutum was studied under axenic ideal growth conditions to determine...

A randomized controlled trial of orthodontist-based brief advice to prevent child obesity

Creator:: Hovell, Melbourne F., Schmitz, Katharine E., Liles, Sandy, Robusto, Kristi, Hofstetter, C. Richard, Nichols, Jeanne F., Rock, Cheryl L., Irvin, Veronica, Parker, Melanie S., Surillo, Santiago A., and Noel, David
Abstract:: Objective: We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test whether brief exercise and diet advice provided during child patient visits to their orthodontic office could improve diet, physical activity, and age-and-genderadjusted BMI. Methods: We enrolled orthodontic offices in Southern California and Tijuana, Mexico, and recruited their patients aged 8-16 to...
