Evaluating the Student Retention Program of Oregon State University Using Vincent Tinto's Model of Student Departure

Creator:: Walker, Kellie
Abstract:: Retention, the ability of an institution to retain students through degree completion, is a major concern for most colleges and universities. The current first to second year retention rate at Oregon State University (OSU) is about 80% (OUS 2008; 2011). Currently the OSU Strategic Plan includes the goal of increasing...

Detection, biosynthesis, and structural investigations of naturally occurring alkynes and other microbial metabolites

Creator:: Back, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Natural products have long been an important source of resources for humans. Many of these compounds possess unique chemical structures and potent biological properties. By targeting natural products with specific chemical properties, we can gain a better understanding of the roles these compounds play in the environment and their interactions...

Aiding Plants and Humans by Targeting Virulence Strategies: Investigation of key protein residues involved in toxoflavin production

Creator:: Justen, Savannah F.
Abstract:: Toxoflavin, a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a variety of bacteria, has been implicated as a causative agent in food poisoning and a virulence factor in phytopathogenic bacteria. This toxin is produced by the tox operon in Burkholderia glumae, in which the encoded protein, ToxD, was previously characterized as essential...

The psychological affect of modern and traditional schools on students' self-concepts, self-adjustment and social adjustment

Creator:: Ross, Dorian Mordecai Roseman
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between modern and traditional schools and children's self-concepts. In order to do this, it was necessary to describe and define the phenomenon "self-concept" as used in education and to describe what the author meant by modern...

The role of sigma factors in production of cyanobacterial natural products: Escherichia coli as a heterologous expression host

Creator:: Wells, Kaitlyn N.
Abstract:: Cyanobacteria represent an underexploited source of bioactive natural products of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Lack of development of these compounds as drug leads is due mainly to myriad practical problems with the producing strains including long doubling times, genetic intractability, and low compound yields. Previous attempts at heterologous expression...

Analysis of SNPs in Mycoplasma cynos strains from canine hosts within the Pacific Coast animal shelter network

Creator:: Prymolenna, Anastasiya V.
Abstract:: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used as markers to infer population genetic structure. For Mycoplasma cynos, a pathogen associated with infectious respiratory disease among canines and other animals, SNPs may help to elucidate ecological and evolutionary relationships among the strains that reside in the upper respiratory tract of canines...

Pore Water Pressure Response in Soil During Tsunami Loading : Numerical Formulation and Experimentation

Creator:: Abdollahi, Abbas
Abstract:: Tsunami loading can cause sediment instability, which can compromise the structural integrity of coastal buildings and infrastructure. To understand the process by which a tsunami can cause sediment instability, it is necessary to understand how the pore water pressure in the soil changes during tsunami loading. Tsunami run-up causes the...

Near-Surface Response of Beach Sand : An Experimental Investigation

Creator:: Adams, Rachel Katie
Abstract:: The near-surface region of a coastal sediment bed is complex and dynamic. At some sites, near-surface sediment deposits are susceptible to extreme events, such as tsunamis or other large overflows, which induce high shear stresses on the sediment bed. The specific properties of sediment beds subjected to such extreme loading...

Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

Creator:: Qiu, Yingqing
Abstract:: Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...

Tsunami-induced Soil Instability

Creator:: Fischer, Rachael Marie
Abstract:: Recent tsunami field surveys from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have recorded numerous examples of tsunami-induced soil instability: significant scour around foundations, foundation failure of piles, and other damage caused by liquefaction. From the observations of soil instability leading to the failure of critical coastal structures, it...
