Studying the ancient parasitic cnidarian, Sphaerospora elegans, leads to better understanding of oligochaete diversity and myxozoan discovery

Creator:: Lehrburger, David J.
Abstract:: Myxozoans are microscopic parasites, related to corals and jellyfish. Most Myxozoa probably have two-host lifecycles that require a vertebrate (typically fish) and invertebrate (annelid or bryozoan). However no life cycle is known from the Sphaerospora lineage. I hypothesized that the life cycle of Sphaerospora elegans, a myxozoan parasite of three-spined...

Asian American Women & Clothing Perceptions: A Study of Intersectionality

Creator:: Conrow, Angelina R.
Abstract:: While seemingly harmless, stereotypes can play a significant role in prejudice and discrimination. In two studies, we examined stereotypes of Asian American women and how they may vary with different clothing types. We used a mixed factorial design with a sample of college students from a U.S. university. In the...

Effects of fuel content and density on the smoldering characteristics of cellulose and hemicellulose

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin D., Mulky, Tejas C., Cowan, Daniel A., Niemeyer, Kyle E., and Blunck, David L.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires poses hazards for both ecosystems and humans by destroying biomass, transitioning to flaming combustion, and releasing significant quantities of pollution. Understanding the parameters that control smoldering is necessary to help predict and potentially mitigate these hazards. A challenge in identifying these parameters is the wide...

Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Mediating role of arsenic in the relationship between diet and pregnancy outcomes: prospective birth cohort in Bangladesh

Creator:: Lin, Pi-I D., Bromage, Sabri, Mostofa, Md. Golam, Rahman, Mohammad, Allen, Joseph, Oken, Emily, Kile, Molly L., and Christiani, David C.
Abstract:: BackgroundEpidemiological evidence suggests that arsenic (As) exposure during pregnancy may reduce infant birth weight. One significant source of As exposure is diet; thus, As may indirectly affect infant growth by mediating the effect of maternal diet on birth weight (BW). This study evaluated the potential mediating effect of As in...

Identifying Malaria Transmission Foci for Elimination Using Human Mobility Data

Creator:: Ruktanonchai, Nick W., DeLeenheer, Patrick, Tatem, Andrew J., Alegana, Victor A., Caughlin, T. Trevor, zu Erbach-Schoenberg, Elisabeth, Lourenço, Christopher, Ruktanonchai, Corrine W., and Smith, David L.
Abstract:: Humans move frequently and tend to carry parasites among areas with endemic malaria and into areas where local transmission is unsustainable. Human-mediated parasite mobility can thus sustain parasite populations in areas where they would otherwise be absent. Data describing human mobility and malaria epidemiology can help classify landscapes into parasite...

A global database of water vapor isotopes measured with high temporal resolution infrared laser spectroscopy

Creator:: Wei, Zhongwang, Lee, Xuhui, Aemisegger, Franziska, Benetti, Marion, Berkelhammer, Max, Casado, Mathieu, Caylor, Kelly, Christner, Emanuel, Dyroff, Christoph, Garcia, Omaira, Gonzalez, Yenny, Griffis, Timothy, Kurita, Naoyuki, Liang, Jie, Liang, Mao-Chang, Lin, Guanghui, Noone, David, Gribanov, Konstantin, Munksgaard, Niels C., Schneider, Matthias, Ritter, Francois, Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian, Vallet-Coulomb, Christine, Wen, Xuefa, Wright, Jonathon S., Xiao, Wei, and Yoshimura, Kei
Abstract:: The isotopic composition of water vapour provides integrated perspectives on the hydrological histories of air masses and has been widely used for tracing physical processes in hydrological and climatic studies. Over the last two decades, the infrared laser spectroscopy technique has been used to measure the isotopic composition of water...

Translating the Animal

Creator:: Owen, Melody
Abstract:: My thesis in Environmental Arts and Humanities concerned the idea of animal language, as well as other posthuman ideas around animality and indistinction. I also explored virtual space as it relates to human identity, our notions of reality and perception, and the way contemporary digital artists approach animal subjectivity in...

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...

Cooperative effects of pre-harvest calcium and gibberellic acid on tissue calcium content, quality attributes, and in relation to postharvest disorders of late-maturing sweet cherry

Creator:: Dong, Yu, Zhi, Huanhuan, and Wang, Yan
Abstract:: Six Ca(NO3)(2) sprays at 0.3% and 0.6% from pit hardening (PH) to 1 week before harvest (1WBH) most effectively increased Ca uptake in sweet cherry (Prunus avium). Low concentration (< 0.3%) did not affect the absorption of Ca; high concentration (> 1.6%) caused burning of leaf margins. Fruit treated with...
