Seeing the Ocean For the Whales: How Whales Get Lost in the Sea of Human Perceptions

Creator:: McKinnon, Haley
Abstract:: Humans have always been fascinated with whales; from prominent features in mythology, to stories of terrifying monsters on the high seas, to globalized utility, to symbolic wildness and radical environmentalism, to figures and statistics, how have human relationships with whales been understood throughout time? Because humans have a need to...

Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

Creator:: Oakes, Ian R.
Abstract:: Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

Vertical Ground Reaction Force During the Forward Lunge and Squat for Dominant and Non-Dominant Limbs in Older Adults

Creator:: Thompson, Ronald D.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance. The purpose...

Assessing the feasibility of a sea otter reintroduction to Oregon through a coupled natural-human lens

Creator:: Curran, Lorne S., Kone, Dominique V., and Wickizer, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Sea otters fulfill a keystone role in several Northeastern Pacific nearshore ecosystems. However, their influence has been absent in Oregon coastal waters since their extirpation in the 19th and early 20th century. Interest has been growing for a translocation attempt to reintroduce sea otters to Oregon from one or more...

The influence of sea ice and snow cover and nutrient availability on the formation of massive under-ice phytoplankton blooms in the Chukchi Sea

Creator:: Zhang, Jinlun, Ashjian, Carin, Campbell, Robert, Spitz, Yvette H., Steele, Michael, and Hill, Victoria
Abstract:: A coupled biophysical model is used to examine the impact of changes in sea ice and snow cover and nutrient availability on the formation of massive under-ice phytoplankton blooms (MUPBs) in the Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean over the period 1988–2013. The model is able to reproduce the basic...

Universal interaction-driven gap in metallic carbon nanotubes

Creator:: Senger, Mitchell J., McCulley, Daniel R., Lotfizadeh, Neda, Deshpande, Vikram V., and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Suspended metallic carbon nanotubes (m-CNTs) exhibit a remarkably large transport gap that can exceed 100 meV. Both experiment and theory suggest that strong electron-electron interactions play a crucial role in generating this electronic structure. To further understand this strongly-interacting system, we have performed electronic measurements of suspended m-CNTs with known...

Dielectric Engineering Boosts the Efficiency of Carbon Nanotube Photodiodes

Creator:: Senger, Mitchell J., Kefayati, Ali, Bertoni, Andrea, Perebeinos, Vasili, and Minot, Ethan D.
Abstract:: Carbon nanotube (CNT) photodiodes are a promising system for high-efficiency photocurrent generation due to the strong Coulomb interactions that can drive carrier multiplication. If the Coulomb interactions are too strong, however, exciton formation can hamper photocurrent generation. Here, we explore, experimentally and theoretically, the effect of the environmental dielectric constant...

Impact of Time and Temperature on Ex Vivo and Postmortem Diagnostic Assays

Creator:: Wachtel, Kaitlyn E.
Abstract:: Postmortem diagnostics play an important role in the ability to understand the cause of death of an animal. However, removal from oxygen supply, either by surgical excision or at death, leads to cell and tissue decomposition. Knowledge about factors impacting reliability of test results is extremely important for accurate diagnostics....

Evaluating Agronomic Responses of Camelina to Seeding Date under Rain-Fed Conditions

Creator:: Sintim, Henry Y., Zheljazkov, Valtcho D., Obour, Augustine K., Garcia y Garcia, Axel, and Foulke, Thomas K.
Abstract:: The potential to use camelina (Camelina sativa L.) as a bioenergy crop has increased the need to develop management practices that would improve sustainable production. This study evaluated the effects by cultivars (Blaine Creek, Pronghorn, and Shoshone) and three spring seeding dates on the performance of camelina grown under rain-fed...

Reconciling Conflicting Phylogenies in the Origin of Sweet Potato and Dispersal to Polynesia

Creator:: Muñoz-Rodríguez, Pablo, Carruthers, Tom, Wood, John R.I., Williams, Bethany R.M., Weitemier, Kevin, Kronmiller, Brent, Ellis, David, Anglin, Noelle L., Longway, Lucas, Harris, Stephen A., Rausher, Mark D., Kelly, Steven, Liston, Aaron, and Scotland, Robert W.
Abstract:: The sweet potato is one of the world’s most widely consumed crops, yet its evolutionary history is poorly understood. In this paper, we present a comprehensive phylogenetic study of all species closely related to the sweet potato and address several questions pertaining to the sweet potato that remained unanswered. Our...
