  • The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

    Creator:
    Bai, Daniel Helin
    Abstract:
    One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...

  • Evaluating Preventative Vision Care in Oregon Children

    Creator:
    Liau, Belinda
    Abstract:
    The Oregon Department of Education requires children to receive vision screening before entering elementary school, but does not require follow-up with an eye care professional after a failed screening. Whether such preventative vision care is effective at detecting children with vision problems was investigated through research from the American Optometric...

  • The Influence of grazing on active γ-Proteobacteria cells

    Creator:
    Wilson, Michelle Juliette
    Abstract:
    By identifying the relationships between abundance and metabolic activity in a bacterial community, we advance our knowledge of the marine carbon cycle. In the present study, our goal was to examine the role of protist grazing on the metabolic activity of γ- Proteobacteria in the upwelling system off the Oregon...

  • Gender Disparity in American Literary Fiction: Women Writing the Female Experience of Romantic Relationships in Short Fiction and a Collection of Original Short Stories

    Creator:
    Dealy, Rebecca Corinne
    Abstract:
    Unpublished female authors of American short fiction face many prejudices in fiction publishing, submission, and reviewing. These prejudices stem from the writer’s position in a gender-unequal society. Feminist fiction provides dimensional, diverse female characters in relationships where previous fiction had offered only stereotypes whose role was to support and reflect...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

  • Justice Isn't Fair: A Collection of Monologues

    Creator:
    Ferriso, Alessandra B.
    Abstract:
    I always knew I was interested in the criminal justice system, evident from the hours I spent as a child binge watching Law & Order, Rizzoli and Isles, and Dateline when my parents weren’t home. I very nearly pursued criminal justice as a major, but ended up going a different...

    Creator:
    Govindan, Aparna N.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility for an infant with Down syndrome to use a modified ride-on car that encourages the physical skills of pulling from sit-to-stand and standing with assistance. Method: An 8 month old boy, Child B, was video recorded during the 11...

  • Chemical screening of the secondary metabolites of Streptomyces cellulosae

    Creator:
    Fifield, Rory E.J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to isolate gabosines and other compounds through chemical screening of secondary metabolites of Streptomyces cellulosae subsp. griseorubiginoses strain S1096. Two different media were used to cultivate S. cellulosae. The first contained soybean and mannitol. The other contained oatmeal and trace element solution. After cultivation...
