Phylogenetic Identification of Pathogenic and Endophytic Fungal Populations in West Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Foliage

Creator:: Daniels, Hazel A.
Abstract:: Douglas-fir provides social, economic, and ecological benefits in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). In addition to timber, forests support abundant plant and animal biodiversity and provide socioeconomic viability for many rural communities. Products derived from Douglas-fir account for approximately 17% of the U.S. lumber output with an estimated value of $1.9...

Seismic assessment of unreinforced and retrofitted masonry buildings using Applied Element Method (AEM)

Creator:: Soti, Rajendra
Abstract:: A significant number of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings exist in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America that is a region of high seismicity, which could be subjected to both crustal and subduction zone earthquakes. The catastrophic and brittle failures associated with URM buildings in the past...

Evaluation of ground motion duration effects on the damage prediction of building and bridge structural and soil-structural systems

Creator:: Belejo, Andre
Abstract:: The role of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of civil engineering structures remains unclear. Thus, the role of earthquake strong ground motion duration is assessed in a three manuscript thesis, which includes: (1) assessment of the effects of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of a model...

Are watershed management plans selected and preferred by stakeholders considering current climate conditions robust against climate change scenarios? A sensitivity study of stakeholders spatially-explicit preferences

Creator:: Cannady-Shultz, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: In the light of the changing climate, the importance of designing effective watershed management plans that are likely to be implemented is becoming ever more important. This research introduces a new concept, consensus, for incorporation into stakeholder-guided interactive optimization of watershed management plans. User preferences were mathematically simulated based upon...

Controlling Important Pathogens in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Assessing Cryopreservation Survival of Bacteria and Parasites and Clinical Sensitivity of Mycobacterial qPCR Assays

Creator:: Norris, Lauren J.
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the most commonly used animal models in biomedical research. Zebrafish resource facilities, like the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) in Eugene, Oregon, are the main providers and keepers of numerous zebrafish wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines. Although ZIRC maintains live zebrafish at various life...

Exploring Protein Structure: Seeing the Forest and the Trees

Creator:: Brereton, Andrew E.
Abstract:: Life on Earth intimately depends on the function of countless proteins. For the majority of studied proteins, function absolutely depends on conformation (i.e. 3-dimensional shape in solution). The exact nature of how a protein goes from an unfolded linear polypeptide chain to an organized folded molecule is still not known,...

Mass spectrometry techniques to assess the metabolism and toxicity of pharmaceutical and dietary nitrates

Creator:: Axton, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule that regulates blood pressure and vascular tone. Humans produce NO by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which is impaired in patients with cardiovascular disease leading to increased blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, and an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Maintaining optimal levels of...

Assessment of the neuropathological consequences of vitamin E deficiency

Creator:: McDougall, Melissa Quin
Abstract:: Cognitive impairment, or cognitive decline, a noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive abilities (e.g. memory and learning) that exceeds those attributed to normal aging, represents an early symptom of neurodegeneration and increased risk for progression to more severe dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the complex etiology of these...

Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria

Creator:: Davis, Edward W., II
Abstract:: Gall-associated phytopathogens have unique evolutionary histories that haveshaped both their modes of infection and genomic structures. Pathogenicity of the gall-associated plant pathogens of the Rhodococcus, Agrobacterium, and Rathayibactergenera is mediated by horizontally acquired virulence loci. The relative ease of gainand loss of the virulence loci has confounded accurate characterization of...

A Morphometric Examination of Lithic Artifacts from the Pilcher Creek Site(35UN147) using GliMR : GIS-based Lithic Morphometric Research

Creator:: Curteman, Alexander J.
Abstract:: There is currently a revolution in archaeological morphometric research. As advances in technology are making more in-depth analyses both time and cost efficient. In this work, a collection of artifacts from the Pilcher Creek site (35UN147) in eastern Oregon was digitized using high resolution three-dimensional scanning. These scans were then...
