  • Investigation of the roles of viral proteinases in the vaccinia virus life cycle

    Creator:
    Page, Jessica M.
    Abstract:
    An inducible, mutant virus, designated vvtetO:I7L/G1L, was used to study the morphogenic proteolysis step of the vaccinia virus life cycle. The vvtetO:I7L/G1L controlled the expression of two genes, I7L, a cysteine proteinase, and G1L, a putative metalloproteinase. These proteins are involved in the maturation of viral core proteins, p4a, p4b,...

  • A comparison of early marine residence in hatchery and natural Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

    Creator:
    Claiborne, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well-understood and, for many species, it is not clear if the mechanisms are similar for naturally and artificially propagated individuals. For Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), natural fish potentially face negative interactions, such as competition, and survival disadvantages, such...

  • Sandy beach surf zones : what is their role in the early life history of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)?

    Creator:
    Marin Jarrin, Jose R.
    Abstract:
    Early life stages of many marine and diadromous fish species use sandy beach surf zones, which occur along >50% of the world's marine coastlines. This extensive habitat can provide juvenile fishes with an abundant supply of potential prey and the ability to hide from predators in its shallow turbid waters....

  • Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Archer, Pamela Emily
    Abstract:
    Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

  • Trophically transmitted parasites as ecosystem indicators : relationships among parasite community structure, juvenile salmon diet composition, and ocean conditions

    Creator:
    Losee, James P.
    Abstract:
    Recent research conducted throughout the Northern California Current (NCC) on the ecology of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) indicates that variable ocean conditions affect the community composition of zooplankton in the nearshore environment which, in turn, can affect the quality of prey for fish, sea birds and mammals. Interannual variability in...

  • Graduate teaching assistant (GTA) development in the college classroom

    Creator:
    Meitl, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    The graduate student population has been traditionally overlooked within higher education. However, within recent decades, much research has been devoted to addressing the multiple facets of the graduate student experience, including that of the graduate teaching assistant (GTA) position. This thesis seeks to explore in depth the experiences of GTAs...

  • The Impact of Internet and Videogame Use on College Student Development

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Benjamin W.
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, there has been a tremendous change in the college student experience. In many ways this change has been driven by developments in technology, which have in turn changed the way students conduct research, socialize, and recreate. This thesis seeks to gain an understanding as to how Internet...

  • Mentoring student leaders of color

    Creator:
    White, Leann E.
    Abstract:
    Involvement in student leadership provides opportunities for student development (Foubert and Grainger, 2006) and is linked with higher rates of persistence (Astin, 1984), making leadership programs an important tool for increasing the retention and success of students of color. Unfortunately, traditional leadership paradigms often used in student leadership programs are...

    Plaza, Lauren S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examined the identity transitions that occurred prior to enrollment at a predominantly, White, large, public research university and after completing at least one year of college for students who identify as multiracial. As a secondary purpose, this thesis also examined whether these students sought support through groups that...
