  • Fault behavior over geomorphic time scales in the Pakistan Himalaya, Kashmir Himalaya, and California

    Creator:
    Madugo, Christopher Lee Madden
    Abstract:
    The state of the knowledge for fault behavior in the northwest Himalaya and California varies dramatically. In the Pakistan and Kashmir Himalaya, few data constrain the role that individual active faults play in accommodating Indo-Eurasian convergence and the relative earthquake hazard across the region. By contrast, the San Andreas fault...

  • The Primary Disease Gradient of Wheat Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) Across Spatial Scales

    Creator:
    Farber, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Wheat stripe rust (WSR), also called yellow rust of wheat (Tricitum spp.), causal agent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease of major economic importance on wheat, especially grown in temperate locations. WSR causes major losses of wheat yield, estimated at nearly $ 1 billion per year, and...

  • Neural regulation of immunity in teleosts

    Creator:
    Flory, Craig M.
    Abstract:
    It has long been observed that stress can increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these are now known...

  • Modeling disease gradients and understanding the spread of wheat stripe rust using simulated epidemics

    Creator:
    Sackett, Kathryn E.
    Abstract:
    Primary disease gradients of wheat stripe rust, caused by the aerially dispersed fungal pathogen Puccinia striformis, were measured in Madras and Hermiston, OR in the springs of 2002 and 2003. Disease foci were created by inoculating a 1.52m x 1.52m area in each of three replicate field plots (6.1m wide...

  • Factors influencing the effects of host diversity on plant disease epidemics for wheat stripe rust and potato late blight

    Creator:
    Garrett, Karen A.
    Abstract:
    Most studies of plant disease epidemiology have focused on epidemics in host populations composed of a single genotype. But crop plant diversity can be a useful means of improving the deployment of resistance genes. In a series of experiments with wheat stripe rust and potato late blight, we studied factors...

  • Morphodynamics of 3D Migrating Cancer Cells

    Creator:
    Eddy, Christopher Z.
    Abstract:
    At the intersection of basic science research and clinical relevance, cancer metastasis and cell invasion is a multifaceted problem that has been investigated for the past several decades. Importantly, cancer cell plasticity, the ability of a single cell to change its phenotype without genetic mutations in response to environmental cues,...

  • Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

    Creator:
    Jolly, J. Christopher
    Abstract:
    The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

  • Ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae)

    Creator:
    Campanella, Donald M.
    Abstract:
    A study consisting of three parts was undertaken to investigate how variation in species interactions, population genetic structure, epidemiological parameters, and plant breeding system may influence the ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae). Interactions between natural enemy species may modify their net effect on...

  • Collaborative Online Learning For Join Processing

    Creator:
    Xie, Mian
    Abstract:
    Relational binary operators, such as join, are arguably the most costly and frequently used operations in relational data systems. In many join algorithms, the majority of the process time is spent on scanning and attempting to join the parts of the relations that do not satisfy the join condition and...

  • A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

    Creator:
    Austin, Molly C.
    Abstract:
    With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...
