  • The Evaluation of the Additive Information Contained in New Ecohydrological Measurements

    Creator:
    Li, Bonan
    Abstract:
    The development of ecohydrological frameworks and theories under the ongoing global climate crisis depends on the development of new and advanced ecohydrological measurements. Currently, numerous of datasets have been collected at plot and ecosystem levels to understand the complex interactions of along the soil, plant, and atmosphere continuum. The development...

  • Antifungal Properties of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Larvae

    Creator:
    Bernert, Ann
    Abstract:
    Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a recently introduced, invasive pest in Oregon. It oviposits in near-mature and mature fruit, and thus is an important concern for the small fruit industry. A crop consultant observed that mature raspberry fruit with D. suzukii larvae do not show symptoms of molds as...

  • A role for ceramide accumulation in age-related cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction

    Creator:
    Monette, Jeffrey S.
    Abstract:
    Ceramides are a group of lipids in the sphingolipid family that are potent cell signaling molecules. Elevations in ceramide levels above the norm generally lead to apoptosis. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that accumulation of ceramides within mitochondria leads to dysfunction of the mitochondria. This includes inhibition of the...

  • Habitat utilization by minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada

    Creator:
    Zeppelin, Tonya K.
    Abstract:
    Characteristics of minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) habitat at the head of the Laurentian Channel in the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada were identified by quantifying environmental and temporal habitat variables and comparing them to the presence or absence of minke whales during the summer of 1996. Identification photographs of minke whales...

  • Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

    Creator:
    Hammond, Ellen L.
    Abstract:
    I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

  • Development of High-Throughput Screening Methods to Determine Efficacy of “Clean-Label” Antifungals for Application on Cheese

    Creator:
    Jensen, Kristen
    Abstract:
    Cheese has been produced since ancient times and continues to be an important nutrient-dense staple in many diets around the world. Cheese quality is of high importance to consumers, and it is important for cheese producers to establish process controls to prevent and control cheese spoilage. Fungal spoilage is of...

  • Systemic bacterial infections in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Awan, Mohammad Arif
    Abstract:
    In broiler operations, various health problems develop during the final two weeks of the growing period, resulting in increased mortality and condemnation losses. At this stage, sickly birds were found to be systemically infected by various bacteria regardless of varied clinical signs. The main objective of the present study was...

  • Development of a High Throughput Method for Screening of Clean-Label Mold Inhibitors in Cheddar Cheese

    Creator:
    Kornberg, Kaitlyn R.
    Abstract:
    Mold growth on cheddar-style cheese, though not a food safety issue, causes significant loss to the industry due to consumer rejection. For this reason, it is common for at-risk products, such as cheese shreds, to be coated with the mold inhibitor natamycin. While highly effective at extending shelf-life, preferences for...

  • Characterization of a Novel Metalloprotease Secreted by the Type II Secretion System in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Park, Bo R.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio cholerae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is the etiological agent of cholera. V. cholerae shuttles between the human host and the aquatic reservoir, where it associates with marine organisms such as copepods and vertebrate fish. The bacteria use the Type II Secretion System (T2SS) to release proteins that facilitate V. cholerae...
