Homeodomain Transcription Factor Pitx2 is Required for Muscle Maintenance and Energy Homeostasis

Creator:: Lattier, Vera C.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscle, the largest organ in the body in mass, is composed by 600 specialized muscles in humans with unique biochemical, physiological and metabolic identities. Skeletal muscles control body movement, locomotion, and nutrient balance. Muscle formation requires precisely orchestrated environmental signals and regulatory gene networks in time and space. Gene...

Pathways to Well-Being : A Mixed Methods Study on Purpose in Life in Middle Adulthood

Creator:: Ko, Han-Jung
Abstract:: An ability to meet the changing demands associated with development promotes purpose in life, a defining feature of psychological well-being. Midlife adults consistently report higher purpose in life compared to older adults. However, less is known about the dynamics of purpose in life in the transition from middle to older...

Drivers of Kelp Forest Responses to Global Change: From Populations to Policies

Creator:: Hamilton, Sara L.
Abstract:: Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Characterizing early-seral competitive mechanisms influencing Douglas-fir seedling growth, vegetation community development, and physiology of selected weedy plant species

Creator:: Dinger, Eric J.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to characterize and present early-seral competition between Douglas-fir seedlings and the surrounding vegetation communities during Pacific Northwest forest establishment. The first experiment served as the foundation for this dissertation and was designed to quantify tradeoffs associated with delaying forest establishment activities by introducing a fallow year...

New Insights on the Southern Ocean Carbon Cycle from Biogeochemical Argo Floats

Creator:: Williams, Nancy L.
Abstract:: The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the ocean’s uptake of heat and carbon yet the processes controlling this uptake are not well understood. To date, more than 100 biogeochemical profiling floats that measure water column pH, oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and backscattering at 10-day intervals have been deployed throughout...

Molecular characterization of an HIV-1 drug target and antiviral compound development

Creator:: Maselko, Maciej
Abstract:: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) has been the source of substantial human misery since it was first discovered in the early 1980s. Despite remarkable progress that has been made towards understanding HIV- 1, there is no cure, no vaccine and life-prolonging therapies are beyond the reach of millions in...

Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...
