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...

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...

The Gut Microbiome Drives Benzo[a]pyrene's Impact on Zebrafish Behavioral Development

Creator:: Sieler, Michael J.
Abstract:: Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...

The Predictability of Qualitative Food Web Dynamics in Response to Extinction and Invasion

Creator:: Rockow, David J.
Abstract:: Food webs are extraordinarily complex, containing myriad direct interactions and indirect effects. Determining how this network of interactions and effects influences a food web’s qualitative dynamics is a challenging task, especially because data on food web structure and individual interaction strengths is unknown in virtually all real-world ecosystems. The goal...

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...

Potential effects of sea-level rise on plant productivity: species-specific responses in northeast Pacific tidal marshes

Creator:: Janousek, Christopher
Abstract:: Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh plant community composition, quantify organic matter inputs to marsh accretion, and...

Fishery-specific solutions to seabird bycatch in the U.S. West Coast sablefish fishery

Creator:: Good, Thomas P., Jannot, Jason E., Melvin, Edward F., Gladics, Amanda J., Suryan, Robert M., and Guy, Troy J.
Abstract:: Bird scaring lines (BSLs) protect longline fishing gear from seabird attacks, save bait, reduce incidental seabird mortality and are the most commonly prescribed seabird bycatch mitigation measure worldwide. We collaborated with fishermen to assess the efficacy of applying BSL regulations from the demersal longline sablefish fishery in Alaska to a...

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....

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...

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...
