Investigating heartworm infection in dogs : combining publicly available dog testing data with mosquito surveillance

Creator:: Easterday, Megan
Abstract:: Oregon dogs are susceptible to heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic roundworm. D. immitis infects the cardiopulmonary system and reproduce within the animal, growing up to 30 cm. Dirofilaria repens is a filarial nematode that infects dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes, sea lions, and muskrats. It is also spread by mosquitos and...

Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

Creator:: Julianna, Winding
Abstract:: Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

Arsenic methylation by marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus

Creator:: Lee, Mikaela
Abstract:: Our experiments aimed to investigate responses of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus to toxic arsenic species, such as arsenate, and to understand cellular mechanisms that contribute to arsenic tolerance. We used two strains of Prochlorococcus, a high-light adapted MED4 and low-light adapted MIT9313, both axenic, for cultivation experiments. For...

Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

Creator:: Fleiger-Holmes, Kahlan
Abstract:: Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable forms of energy in the United States and the world. However, interactions between wind turbines and wildlife have the possibility to injure animals such as birds and bats. Strategies to assess and minimize wind turbine interactions with wildlife are critical for...

Developing a Method For Quantitation of Organic Acid Exometabolites Released By Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Grown Under Oral Cavity-like Conditions

Creator:: Akmal, Ryaan
Abstract:: Tooth decay in the form of dental caries and cavities is estimated to be among the most common health conditions globally, with treatment of these oral diseases resulting in a massive, world-wide economic burden. The cause of this demineralization of teeth is rooted in the action of complex microbial biofilms...

Sensorless Localization for Robots and Wheelchairs

Creator:: Subramanian, Ashwin
Abstract:: Despite an increase in the number of people who rely on manual wheelchairs, there are still substantial economic barriers to affordable and accessible localization systems. As a result, there is a pressing need to build a versatile yet low cost localization system for manual wheelchairs. Such systems allow users to...

Examining Early Gender Disparities in Academic Performance: A Pre-School Analysis of Gender Differences and Observations in Academic Assessments

Creator:: Snisky, Briana
Abstract:: Executive function (EF) is an extensively researched topic as a predictor for academic achievements for children. Delineated as qualities of self-regulation, EF prepares a child to produce successful behaviors for their learning and social environments. Entering school with sufficient self-regulation skills is proven advantageous for scholarly performance. Within the early...

Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

Creator:: Vasudevan, Anusha
Abstract:: Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

Numerical Simulation of a Thouless Pump

Creator:: Wall, Bryce
Abstract:: At the macroscopic scale, we have pumps that use the classical laws of physics to move liquids at a well defined rate. In the microscopic world, physicists are exploring pumps that make use of quantum mechanical behavior to build analogous pumps for quantum particles. The importance of such “quantum pumps”...
