  • Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

    Creator:
    Har, Skyler
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

  • Comparison of Experimentally-determined and Model-estimated Attachment Efficiency for Predicting Nanoparticle Aggregation

    Creator:
    Kennard, Jasmin J.
    Abstract:
    The widespread use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in industrial applications and consumer products makes their release to the environment inevitable. Understanding the aggregation behavior of ENPs is crucial to understanding their fate, transport and toxicology in aquatic systems. This study investigated the comparability of experimentally-determined and model-estimated attachment efficiencies for...

  • Betrayal Trauma and Fearful Shyness Predict Shame and Dissociation

    Creator:
    Nakai, Saki C.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine how fearful and self-conscious shyness subtypes are related to shame, dissociation, and PTSD following traumatic experiences. We hypothesized self-conscious shyness, characterized by feelings of embarrassment and fear of public scrutiny, to be related to symptoms of high betrayal. We predicted fearful shyness,...

  • Sperm acrosome associated 3 protein expression and antigenicity in horses

    Creator:
    Cozzi, Brynley C.
    Abstract:
    Sperm acrosome associated 3 protein (SPACA3) is a unique, intra-acrosomal, conventional-type lysozyme-like protein of mammalian spermatozoa. SPACA3 is present in all stages of ovarian follicles and is localized to granulosa cells and ooplasma in humans, mice, cows, dogs, and cats. The objective of this study was to determine if equine...

  • The Influence of Scent and Owner Presence on Cat Attachment Behavior

    Creator:
    Behnke, Alexandra C.
    Abstract:
    Domesticated cats frequently use their sense of smell to navigate their environment, convey social cues, and communicate with other individuals. In applied contexts, cat owners are often encouraged to leave items holding their scent with their cat in periods of absence with the aim of reducing stress. The purpose of...

  • Freeze-thaw cycles in permafrost soils and their impacts on the climate: A literature review

    Creator:
    Bergmann, Maya K.
    Abstract:
    Climate change is occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, with impacts heightened in the cold regions of the world including the Arctic. Warming effects are widespread, with one impacted process – freeze-thaw cycles – increasing in frequency and potentially triggering additional changes in permafrost soils that have previously acted as...

  • Asian American Women & Clothing Perceptions: A Study of Intersectionality

    Creator:
    Conrow, Angelina R.
    Abstract:
    While seemingly harmless, stereotypes can play a significant role in prejudice and discrimination. In two studies, we examined stereotypes of Asian American women and how they may vary with different clothing types. We used a mixed factorial design with a sample of college students from a U.S. university. In the...

  • Lanthanide Based Metal Organic Framework for the Conversion of CO₂ and Propylene Oxide to Propylene Carbonate

    Creator:
    Le, David H.
    Abstract:
    Lanthanide (Ln) based molecular complexes have shown great potential as Lewis acid catalysts for the activation of small molecules. Despite the wealth of structural versatility and high catalytic activity of these complexes, they often lack selectivity and recyclability. This hinders their potential for use in large-scale industrial applications where waste...

  • The efficacy and costs of plasma transfusion in naturally diseased horses

    Creator:
    Busby, Madeleine F.
    Abstract:
    Hypoproteinemia secondary to gastrointestinal disease in horses has traditionally been treated with the administration of colloids such as equine plasma or hetastarch. While plasma transfusion is common, evidence-based guidelines for its use in hypoproteinemic horses are lacking. This study involved prospective and retrospective components that aimed to weigh the efficacy...

  • Into the Garden: Environmental Education and Resources for K-5

    Creator:
    Smith, Amira R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to address barriers that K-5 educators face when implementing environmental education in classrooms. An in-depth study of the history of environmental education in the United States identifies primary barriers and issues. Focusing specifically on garden education programs, six lesson plans for K-5 were created to address the...
