The role of herbivores and productivity on community structure of rocky shores of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Creator:: Vinueza, Luis R.
Abstract:: Ecosystems are facing increasing threats from human related activities, such as overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction, species invasions, and diseases, among others. While oceanic islands provide natural laboratories to understand ecological and evolutionary process, they are also particularly vulnerable to these impacts, given their usual isolation from the mainland and the...

Exploiting Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum genetic resources : diversity analysis and germplasm development

Creator:: Matus, Iván Ariel
Abstract:: Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) could be a source of useful genes for improving cultivated barley. The useful genes present in Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum may be new alleles at described loci, or these may be entirely new genes in the sense that there is limited allelic variation at...

Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

Creator:: Kannegulla, Akash
Abstract:: The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

Transdermal Delivery of Atenolol to Cats

Creator:: Mohamed, Sumeia M.
Abstract:: This thesis describes in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of a transdermal atenolol formulation developed at Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy. The formulation was prepared from carbomer as a gel base with propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, polysorbate 80 and dimethyl-isosorbide (DMI) as mixture of penetration enhancing agents. The effect of the...

A partial characterization of the deoxyribonucleic acid found in the thoracic muscles of the tobacco hornworm moth (Manducta sexta)

Creator:: Hinds, Thomas Richard, 1944-
Abstract:: The DNAs (deoxyribonucleic acids) of the thoracic tissue of the tobacco hornworm, Manducta sexta, were studied by physical and chemical means. The adult moth was considered to be fully formed two days after emergence from the pupal case, as indicated by its ability to fly and the integrity of the...

An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

Creator:: Kim, Hankyu
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

Spatial Patterns of Soil Moisture and the Relative Importance of Atmospheric Water Demand Versus Soil Moisture Availability in Limiting Late-summer Growth of Douglas-fir Under a Changing Climate

Creator:: Jarecke, Karla M.
Abstract:: The rapid pace of climate change is increasing tree mortality and highlighting the need to improve the mechanistic understanding of plant function under increased water stress. However, the processes that control soil moisture availability in steep mountainous terrain are poorly understood, as are the relative effects of atmospheric and soil...

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
