Bruce Starker Arts Park Water Quality Testing to Determine Source of Algal Growth in Dunawi Creek and Evaluate Treatment Efficiency of Grass Swale

Creator:: Nelson, Miranda F.
Abstract:: Urban stormwater runoff contains pollutants that have a detrimental effect on pond water quality and watershed water quality. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs), such as a constructed wetland, can treat these pollutants through processes like infiltration, adsorption, and plant uptake. It is hypothesized that the surface-runoff fed pond at Bruce...

The effects of oil price shocks on U.S. inflation

Creator:: Kilfoil, Natasha M.
Abstract:: During the 1970’s the United States experienced several periods of high inflation that have been at least partially attributed to positive oil price shocks. The effectiveness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at controlling the price of oil has varied over time, as well as the responsiveness of U.S....

Antisense Antibiotics

Creator:: Mitev, Georgi Mitko
Abstract:: Two different types of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers (PMOs) were used to inhibit growth in pure cultures of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and in mouse macrophages infected with S. typhimurium. Both PMOs were 11 bases long and complementary to bases 6-16 of acyl carrier protein mRNA. A membrane-penetrating peptide, (RXR)4XB, was...

Effects of ocean acidification on growth rate, calcified tissue, and behavior of the juvenile ochre sea star, Pisaster ochraceus

Creator:: Britsch, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Anthropogenically-induced increases in the acidity of the ocean have the potential to seriously harm marine calcifying organisms by decreasing the availability of carbonate (CO32−) used to make shells. I tested the effects of lowered pH on juvenile Pisaster ochraceus, an intertidal sea star and keystone predator in the eastern Pacific...

The effects of interspecies interactions and environmental conditions on biomass accumulation of sessile organisms within Oregon’s rocky mid-intertidal habitats

Creator:: Carsh, Alexander C.
Abstract:: With changing climate conditions and human impacts on ecosystems becoming a big focus of study, it has become even more crucial to understand how our ecosystems work. Community structure within rocky intertidal habitats is governed by a mix of environmental conditions and species interactions. This project examined the effects of...

Intertidal Ecology along the Western Coastlines of the Pacific : Upwelling and Bottom-up Effects in Chile and Oregon

Creator:: Murphy, Christina A.
Abstract:: The coastal regions of Chile and Oregon are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world. The intertidal communities of both areas have been well studied, but much remains to be learned about how those communities are structured over large scales. Here, I explore the upwelling regimes and the...

Dangerous Cake

Creator:: Atkinson, Nathan L.
Abstract:: We explore the limitations of the CRRA utility speci cation as applied to cake-eating problems. We construct a set of conditions under which cake- eating problems have no optimal solution. Furthermore, we explore how agents choose their consumption path when an optimization problem has no solution, and suggest a method...

Patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish, sebastes spp., along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Young, Thomas
Abstract:: Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...

Effects of Hypoxia on Survival and Growth of Barnacle Larvae Off the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Amstutz, Amanda C.
Abstract:: In recent years off the United States Oregon coast severe hypoxic events have resulted in areas of mass vertebrate and invertebrate species mortality known as dead zones. Creation of dead zones and alteration of community species composition in response to inner shelf hypoxic conditions have been observed annually from 2002...

Gene-specific antibiotic development: Evaluating effectiveness and investigating antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli mutants of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers

Creator:: Puckett, Susan E.
Abstract:: Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are novel antisense drugs in the early stages of development. These synthetic DNA mimics contain the same bases found in DNA and anneal to RNA in a complementary fashion. PMOs have been designed that target genes responsible for producing essential proteins in organisms such as Escherichia...
