  • “To make you see”: Narrating identity, gender, and empire in The Good Soldier and Heart of Darkness

    Creator:
    Jones, Molly M.
    Abstract:
    In Heart of Darkness and The Good Soldier, Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford employ the narrative subjectivity inherent in their Impressionist technique to provide insight into the often-irrational processes through which political and individual identities are constructed through narrative. Contrary to traditional readings of Impressionism as a strictly aesthetic...

  • Investigating Transcriptional Control of Specialized Gene Expression in Plants

    Creator:
    Fraser, Valerie N.
    Abstract:
    Specialized or secondary metabolism is a collection of pathways and small molecules that, while beneficial to an organism, are not strictly necessary for survival. Plants use secondary metabolites to, among other things, attract pollinators, defend against biotic and abiotic stressors, and form symbioses. Natural products from plants have seen an...

  • Prenatal and Early-life Metals Exposure and Immune Function in Children

    Creator:
    Welch, Barrett M.
    Abstract:
    Immune system development during prenatal and early-life periods are essential for healthy development. Environmental and nutritional factors during these periods have strong influences on immune development and can have impacts on disease susceptibility for an individual throughout adulthood. Globally, hundreds of millions of people experience elevated environmental exposure to arsenic,...

  • Consequences of Cryopreservation in Diverse Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Wing, Kieslana M.
    Abstract:
    Experimental evolution is a tool that allows us to measure changes in populations over time in controlled, novel environments. Microbial evolution experiments use cryopreservation – storage at -80°C in glycerol media – to archive experimental populations. Research with Escherichia coli suggests that cryopreservation conditions can affect cell viability and that...

  • Environmental and Community Exposures and Children’s Infectious Diseases in Bangladesh

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Sharia M.
    Abstract:
    Under-5 mortality has decreased globally, but millions of children still die every year. In Bangladesh, respiratory infection and diarrheal disease remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality for children under-5, despite incredible progress in the past three decades. Immune system development begins in utero and continues into adulthood. Toxic environmental...

  • Histological examination of Phytophthora ramorum in Notholithocarpus densiflorus bark tissues

    Creator:
    Botts, Molly M.
    Abstract:
    Colonization of N. densiflorus tissues by P. ramorum is not well understood. The pathogen is able to colonize nearly all tissues of this host but it is unclear how a tree is ultimately killed. Because this is such a destructive invasive pathogen, it is important to investigate its pathogenic strategy....

  • Corporate Oregon : A narrative study of Measure 97

    Creator:
    McMorris, Claire M.
    Abstract:
    Oregon Ballot Measure 97 is a contentious measure on the Oregon 2016 ballot that seeks to raise taxes on corporations with sales over 25 million dollars within the state of Oregon. Predictably, there has been a considerable amount of dialogue with the public as well as lobbying among elites to...

  • In Utero Exposure to Arsenic and Mercury : Epigenome-Wide Associations and Newborn Health Outcomes

    Creator:
    Cardenas, Andres
    Abstract:
    Mercury and arsenic are known developmental toxicants and environmental exposures are ubiquitous worldwide from natural and anthropogenic sources. Prenatal exposure to both contaminants are independently associated with adverse perinatal health outcomes and latent disease risk that could be in part mediated by epigenetic reprogramming events. Fetal programming events involving DNA...

  • Strain-specific effects of the herbicide RoundUp on diverse natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Taggard, Savannah K.
    Abstract:
    The safety of the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUpTM, has been questioned on numerous occasions. Previous studies suggest that glyphosate-containing herbicides have deleterious effects on a variety of organisms; other studies suggest that these effects may be minor, transient, or non-existent altogether. Proper maintenance of microbial...

  • Environmental Metal Exposures and Effects on Maternal and Child Health in Bangladesh

    Creator:
    Andrews, Faye V.
    Abstract:
    Bangladesh is a developing country with burdens of environmental pollution and disparities in maternal and child health. Arsenic, manganese, and lead are pervasive environmental contaminants throughout Bangladesh with major exposures through drinking water and ambient pollution. Chronic exposures to arsenic, manganese, and lead in sensitive populations such as pregnant women,...
