Characterization of Quorum-Sensing Diversity in Environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa Populations

Creator:: Grellmann, Elise Kaylene
Abstract:: While the quorum-sensing (QS) diversity of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been well established in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections and in vitro experiments, little is known about its QS-diversity in natural environments. One significant QS-deficient behavior is social cheating. Social cheaters contain mutations that prevent them from producing...

Spatial and temporal variations in respiration rates and hypoxia on the Oregon shelf

Creator:: Wolf, Megan J.
Abstract:: Inner shelf hypoxia has occurred along the Oregon coast between the latitudes 44ºN and 45ºN since 2002 with increasing duration and intensity, posing a threat to marine life. The objective of this research was to determine whether variation in respiration rate explains spatial and temporal variation in hypoxia. Dissolved oxygen...

Effects of 6 months of voluntary alcohol self-administration on intracorticalbone remodeling in young adult male cynomolgus monkeys

Creator:: Kuah, Amida F.
Abstract:: Heavy chronic alcohol consumption has been linked to a myriad of detrimental skeletal effects. Many studies have been conducted to examine the effects of alcohol abuse upon cancellous bone. However, little is known about its effect upon cortical bone. The skeleton is comprised of approximately 80% cortical bone and thus...

Solutions to Water Resource and Environmental Challenges : Perspectives from the Agricultural Community in the Crooked River Watershed

Creator:: Busick, Brytann
Abstract:: This research explores how an agriculture-based community in the Crooked River Watershed of Central Oregon responds to a series of water resource and environmental challenges, some associated with projected climate change, amid increasing pressure to change management practices to better accommodate environmental needs. A key part of this research assesses...

Relationships of hydraulic traits and wood morphology in Douglas-fir branches from wet vs. dry regions and sites

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman Noe, Jr.
Abstract:: It is well known that water transport in xylem depends on its anatomy, but recent research shows that water transport through different parts of the growth ring are affected by the water potential in different ways. The goal of the project was to learn the extent to which wood morphology...

Differential Binding and Structural Properties of the WWC Protein Family

Creator:: Rodriguez, Diego Javier
Abstract:: The WWC family consists of three proteins‐ KIBRA/WWC1, WWC2, and WWC3. The three proteins share a similar primary structure and interact with a common set of proteins. Each paralog contains two WW domains which recognize proline‐rich sequences of the type PPxY (P is proline, Y is tyrosine, x is any...

Limit Equilibrium-Based Assessment of the Internal Stability of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Structures Subject to Seismicity

Creator:: Loving, Carly K.
Abstract:: Design of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Structures (GRSS) require sufficient rear pullout anchoring capacity in order to maintain internal stability. Length requirements are amplified when reinforcement coverage ratios or seismicity is considered, potentially resulting in uneconomical GRSS design lengths. This study describes the influence of reinforcement length, coverage ratio, and pseudostatic seismic...

Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Creator:: Redle, Michael T.
Abstract:: The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

Implementing a Linux Sysfs Interface to the VMCS

Creator:: Kronquist, Ian
Abstract:: The Virtual Machine Control Structure is an x86 hardware structure available on Intel platforms which support the VMX instruction set extensions. Developers working with Linux kernel virtualization technologies may need to alter fields in the VMCS, but the few existing tools for updating the structure are unstable or difficult to...

Analysis of particulate organic matter distribution along surface waters of the California Current

Creator:: Welch, Kylie
Abstract:: Water samples along the Washington, Oregon and California coastline were collected using high resolution sampling and analyzed to determine particulate organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Over 28 days during August 2011, nearly 1500 samples were collected aboard the R/V Wecoma (W1108C) using a semi-automated filtration system. Additional subsurface samples were...
