Zooplankton of the Galapagos Islands

Creator:: Figueroa, Diego
Abstract:: The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

Impact of raspberry bushy dwarf virus, raspberry leaf mottle virus, and raspberry latent virus on plant growth and fruit crumbliness in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) 'Meeker'

Creator:: Quito-Avila, Diego F.
Abstract:: The United States is the third-largest producer of raspberries in the world. Washington State leads the nation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) production. 'Meeker', the most grown red raspberry cultivar in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada) is highly susceptible to Raspberry crumbly fruit, a virusinduced...

Using Biodiversity Distribution Data to Support Landscape Conservation and Management in Colombia

Creator:: Zárrate-Charry, Diego A.
Abstract:: Global biodiversity decline is primarily driven by habitat loss. Deforestation, the primary driver of terrestrial habitat loss, is increasing worldwide, with the most significant impact in the world biodiversity hotspots. Sadly, specific knowledge of such impacts in biodiversity-rich but data-poor countries are still unknown, and many national and regional narratives...

Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

Effects of Feeding OmniGen-AF® on Superovulatory Response in Donor Beef Cows

Creator:: Snider, Alexandria P.
Abstract:: One assisted reproductive tool used to propagate highly desirable genetics from elite sire and dam matings is embryo transfer. Superovulation is the first part of the overall protocol and it is a required yet costly and biologically stressful procedure in cattle embryo transfer. The process of superovulation results in high...

Seismic performance and collapse assessments of reinforced concrete lateral- force resisting systems

Creator:: Buniya, Mustafa Kamil
Abstract:: Nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) is increasingly becoming more accessible and prevalent in research and practice. As the accuracy of the NRHA results depends on the ground motion characteristics and the robustness of the numerical model, research has focused on the development of guidance for performance-based seismic design and assessment...

The fluxes of latent and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Phelps, George Thomas
Abstract:: Measurements of the fluctuations of humidity, temperature and velocity were made in the marine boundary layer. The humidity fluctuations were measured with a Lyman-alpha humidiometer. Temperature fluctuations were measured with a dry thermocouple and a platinum resistance thermometer. Velocity fluctuations were measured with a three component sonic anemometer. These measurements...

Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

Creator:: Gomez, R. Antonio
Abstract:: Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

Vitellogenesis : a biomarker for estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects of organochlorines in rainbow trout

Creator:: Donohoe, Regina M.
Abstract:: Persistent organochlorines (OCs) bioaccumulate in aquatic biota and potentially impair reproduction via endocrine disruption. The present research evaluated estrogenic effects of the OCs, chlordecone (CD) and o,p'-DDT/DDE, and the antiestrogenicity of 3,4,5,3',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (345-HCB) in juvenile rainbow trout, utilizing vitellogenesis as a biomarker. Vitellogenesis, estrogen regulated hepatic production of the yolk...

Ecological assessment after the addition of genetically engineered Klebsiella planticola SDF20 into soil

Creator:: Holmes, Michael T.
Abstract:: The objectives in this research were to assess whether Klebsiella planticola SDF20 could survive in soil and result in ecological effects to soil foodweb organisms and plant growth. Four experiments were conducted using soil microcosms. Klebsiella planticola SDF20 has been genetically engineered to produce ethanol from agricultural waste for use...
