Posthumously Yours : A Kunderian Approach to Fiction

Creator:: Tellvik, Dani N.
Abstract:: In this piece of original work, I employ a Kunderian approach to fiction. The purpose of my novel is to examine how the causative element, a pivotal moment of change for a cast of characters, changes spatially and temporally. In Posthumously Yours, I explore themes of trauma, loss, and grief...

Supplemental Description of Myxobolus squamalis (Myxozoa) & Epidemiology of M. squamalis at Two Oregon Hatcheries

Creator:: Polley, Tamsen M.
Abstract:: Myxobolus squamalis is a Myxozoan parasite of salmonids, which contributes to lowered fitness of hatchery and wild fish in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The only GenBank DNA sequence of M. squamalis is from Oncorhynchus tschawytscha (Chinook), but is not linked to a published morphological description. There is a...

Importance of TLR2 and TLR4 signaling against M. abscessus infection of macrophages and use of mycobacteriophage genomics toward understanding some of the aspects of phage therapy

Creator:: Kapoor, Hannah A.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Even with long-term treatment with multiple antibiotics, MAB pulmonary infections have high rates of treatment failure. Within the host, MAB is phagocytosed by key innate immune cells macrophages. The TLR2 and TLR4 are two critical...

The Effects of the Immunity Factor Relish on Aging Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Kumar, Nandita
Abstract:: Aging is a complex biological phenomenon that alters many different physiological processes. Although many age-related phenotypes, such as neurodegeneration, weakening circadian rhythms, and inflammaging, are well-studied, the links between them are not. To elucidate these links we created an inflammation-like state in Drosophila melanogaster by overexpressing Relish (Rel), an NFκB...

Effects of Oxidative Stress on Circadian Gene Expression during Aging

Creator:: Bonar, Tara
Abstract:: All organisms possess circadian clocks, which generate daily oscillations in clock controlled gene expression that regulate many essential biological functions in synchrony with the 24-hour light/dark cycles. When the genes that control the internal clock are weakened, accelerated aging symptoms are observed. Past research in Drosophila demonstrated that aging flies...

Exploring Links between Circadian Rhythms and Healthy Aging

Creator:: Mattison, Braden J.
Abstract:: Circadian rhythms are the daily oscillations in multiple organism functions, from clock gene expression to behavior. Lost or irregular rhythms lead to health problems later in life including nervous system disorders, abnormal sleep/activity cycles, diabetes and obesity. However, it is not known whether strengthening the expression of clock genes throughout...

Comparing 26S Proteasome Efficiency Between Long-Living and Short-Living Rodents

Creator:: Bradley, Lynda M.
Abstract:: Many people die yearly worldwide due to diseases associated with aging, and if the process of aging in humans was more understood, the health of these patients could be improved. While many biochemical actions are involved with the aging process, loss of proteostasis has been called one of the most...

Diastatic Activity in Citra® Hops as a Function of On-Bine Maturity

Creator:: Long, Aidan T.
Abstract:: Dry-hopping has grown from a novel to widespread technique in commercial craft beer production. It yields large returns in aroma that cannot be emulated with kettle hopping. However, it also leads to beer refermentation post-dry-hopping, a phenomenon colloquially referred to by U.S brewers as “hop creep.” This is a result...

Factorization of Integers

Creator:: Simshaw, James
Abstract:: Factorization of integers is an important aspect of cryptography since it can be used as an attack against some of the common cryptographic methods being used. There are numerous methods in existence for factoring integers. Some of these are faster than others for general numbers, while others work best on...

The Mathematics of Critical Shifts in Ecological Networks with Alternative Stable State Theory, A Potential Framework for Early Warning Indicators

Creator:: Kupperman, Michael D.
Abstract:: A long running problem in mathematical biology is the prediction of extinction events, a specialized case of the larger global stability problem found in differential equations and dynamical systems theory. A central technical question is how to introduce the randomness observed in real ecological systems not accounted for in deterministic...
