  • Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

    Creator:
    Har, Skyler
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

  • Environmental Transformations of Nanoparticles in Natural Water Systems using a Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Dye Assay

    Creator:
    Turnquist, Macklin C.
    Abstract:
    Nanoparticles (NPs) are generally defined as particles <100 nanometers (nm) in size in one dimension. Despite increasing industrial usage of TiO2 NPs in sunscreens, cosmetics, and water remediation little is known of their environmental behavior. The primary goal of this research was to develop a rapid method for determining the...

  • Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

    Creator:
    Devin, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

  • Understanding local perceptions of an economy in transition : Tourism in South Caicos, TCI

    Creator:
    Wiegand, Jenna L.
    Abstract:
    Tourism presents a significant challenge for island economies in the Global South attempting to improve local standards of living. Due to limited resources and often low education levels of island residents, tourism development frequently becomes a tool for foreign investors to profit while local people continue to work low-income jobs....

  • The efficacy and costs of plasma transfusion in naturally diseased horses

    Creator:
    Busby, Madeleine F.
    Abstract:
    Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...

  • Physics Students' Mindsets and Their Impact on Learning and Perceived Satisfaction

    Creator:
    Le, Tiffany
    Abstract:
    Characterizing a mindset landscape within the physics classroom is crucial to portray the variation and context of mindset in the classroom. This paper will be looking at students enrolled in Oregon State University’s PH20x series, which is a series of three algebra-based introductory physics courses. This project is an exploratory...
