  • Second Derivative Excitation Emission Resolution (SEC DEER) Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Rosene, Benjamin L.
    Abstract:
    Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique due to bright signals that provide excellent measurement sensitivity. Many colors of fluorescent dyes are available to match the detection ranges of different equipments. Dyes can be chemically modified to bind to many different target analytes with high specificity1. Alternatively, sensors can be...

  • Resource uptake and host tissue chemistry: Implications for competition and disease

    Creator:
    Schumann, Canan B.
    Abstract:
    Maintenance of optimal nutrient supplies is fundamental to the functioning of vertebrate, invertebrate, bacterial and plant physiology. Organisms on this planet compete with each other primarily to fulfill nutritional needs in order to maximize their health, wellbeing, and reproductive success. Here we examine nutrient concentrations in several different grass species...

  • Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

    Creator:
    Ballantine, Kaleigh
    Abstract:
    The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...

  • Chemistry and Grit: The Impact of Prerequisites vs Perseverance on Academic Success in Biology

    Creator:
    Sparks, Kiersten E.
    Abstract:
    Previous research on academic success in biology has focused on the influence of prerequisite knowledge and cognitive ability as measured by course grades or GPA. More recently, the field has considered the influence of non-cognitive factors such as grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long term goals. Both grit...

  • Reduced toxicity of benzethonium chloride to Escherichia coli through adsorption onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Waldron, Kerri Raven
    Abstract:
    Antimicrobial agents are being increasingly used in consumer soaps and detergents, despite a lack of data demonstrating their efficacy in such products. This study investigated the nature of the interaction between different crystalline structures of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and BTC, and explore which structure, if any, could be best used...

  • Solving Physical Reasoning Tasks in Simulated Environments

    Creator:
    Shureih, Zeyad
    Abstract:
    We take for granted how quickly we, as humans, form mental models of the world around us. By the time we are toddlers, we have an observable intuition around the physical rules of the world. Stacking blocks such that they don’t fall over becomes such a trivial task, that it...

    Creator:
    Tomlinson, Kiara A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to analyze the scores of a mental math quiz taken by the CH 231 trailer course at Oregon State University and to determine courses of action to increase the success of students in general chemistry based on the results of the analysis. Students were...
