  • Exploring Chromodomain Genes in the Fungus Fusarium graminearum Through Targeted Genetic Manipulation

    Creator:
    Peters, Alec
    Abstract:
    DNA segments in the fungus Fusarium graminearum were identified as possible genes encoding for chromodomain proteins (CDPs), and targeted for genetic manipulation. Targeted single-gene deletion strains, as wells as GFP-S tag fusion strains, were generated from wildtype F. graminearum protoplasts, and verified strains were screened for phenotypic differences, such as...

  • Data driven study of neutron response in Minerva using quasielastic neutrino scattering

    Creator:
    Peters, Evan
    Abstract:
    Understanding how particles behave in detectors is a critical part of analyzing data from neutrino experiments. There are methods in place to track charged particles in scintillator material, but neutral particles such as neutrons are more difficult to characterize. The purpose of this project was to assess and calibrate methods...

  • Then and Now : Asserting Anishinabek Identity Through Indigenized Apparel

    Creator:
    Southall, Neebinnaukzhik
    Abstract:
    The work deals with the subject of designing for Native Americans. The first part of the project broadly examines the field of graphic design as it relates to Native Americans, discussing the lack of Native voices in graphic design, what designing for Native Americans can entail, the role of Native...

  • Changes in Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest Soils After Wildfire

    Creator:
    Hughes, Abby
    Abstract:
    The soil microbiome drives nutrient transformation in forest soils and plays a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle of these ecosystems. Wildfires cause significant disturbance to ecosystems and are known to alter C sources available to microbes in forest soils. Summer wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are of growing...

  • Metabolomic Analysis of Oregon Coast Sediment Pore Waters using Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry

    Creator:
    Merlo, James B.
    Abstract:
    One of the principal drivers of climate change is the concentration of greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere. A large portion of this CO2 ends up in the waters off the continental coasts where it transforms into biomass. The major sink for this matter is the ocean sediments...

  • The Climate Change - Homelessness Nexus : how disaster response institutions reinforce structural vulnerability in wildfire-impacted communities in Oregon

    Creator:
    Werdel, Carly Inez
    Abstract:
    In communities impacted by climate disasters, institutions largely determine the distribution of outcomes within a population. This research aims to examine the role of institutions in differential outcomes for displaced communities impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires in the Santiam Canyon and the Rogue Valley. Using semi-structured interviews of...

  • The People's band: U2 and international activism

    Creator:
    Peterson, Maxie Jean
    Abstract:
    The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...

  • The Stability, Toxicity, and Reactivity of Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Bulovsky, Hannah G.
    Abstract:
    Zero valent iron nanoparticles effectively remediate groundwater contaminants due to their catalytic properties and enhanced surface area. However, these properties contribute to particle agglomeration, decreasing their effectiveness. In this study, we examined the effect of two stabilizing agents (gum arabic (GA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)) on particle stability, toxicity,...
