¡Sí, Se Puede! Yes, You Can! Employing a Personal Testimonio to Show Young Latinx Students and Families That Their Dreams of College are Well Within Reach

Creator:: Curtis, Lorenzo Michael
Abstract:: From my personal experiences, I’ve noticed that Latinx students and families are most receptive to college-related information communicated as anecdotes. Latinx students are among the most poorly represented demographic at universities nationwide, which I believe can be mitigated through calculated efforts to increase collegiate literacy and understanding. This project is...

Developing a protocol for producing multiple BYDV resistant wheat genotypes from a single transformational event

Creator:: Chang, Irena
Abstract:: Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is a damaging luteovirus disease responsible for reduced tillering, delayed heading, sterility, and stunting in many cereals worldwide. Well-characterized resistance genes to barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV) are scarce and genes conferring tolerance to BYDV are limited in wheat. In an attempt to generate plants with...

Evaluating the mixed species feeding opportunities provided by foraging humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) across ocean ecosystems

Creator:: Ellett, Lindsey G.
Abstract:: Group foraging occurs across many ecosystems and taxa, and benefits some or all individuals in the group by optimizing feeding efficiency. The beater theory describes when individual “beaters” benefit other group members by herding prey into more accessible areas. Humpback whales feed on a variety of small patchy prey, and...

Analyzing the molecular basis of increased enduracidin production in Streptomyces fungicidicus

Creator:: Herinckx, Molly A.
Abstract:: Enduracidin is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fungicidicus that is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. Previous work identified seventy-eight mutations in an S. fungicidicus strain that produces a significantly higher level of enduracidin than the wild type strain, ATCC 21013. Eleven mutations were analyzed individually to identify those that may contribute...

Strain-specific effects of the herbicide RoundUp on diverse natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Taggard, Savannah K.
Abstract:: The safety of the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUpTM, has been questioned on numerous occasions. Previous studies suggest that glyphosate-containing herbicides have deleterious effects on a variety of organisms; other studies suggest that these effects may be minor, transient, or non-existent altogether. Proper maintenance of microbial...

Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone: How Television Gives a Window into the Fears of American Society

Creator:: Santisteven, Alyssa
Abstract:: Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone have each left their mark on popular culture. Charlie Brooker and Rod Serling created television shows with macabre and imaginative concepts and brought them to the small screen. “This is like something straight out of The Twilight Zone!” has become a common phrase since...

Gender-Dependent Mechanisms of Alpha-Tocopherol Protection from Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure in Rats

Creator:: Crimp, Caitlin A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), are environmental pollutants linked to increased disease susceptibilities. Alpha-Tocopherol (αT) supplementation decreases B[a]P-DNA adducts in smokers, particularly women; but the mechanism is unknown. To test the hypothesis that αT protection from B[a]P exposure is gender-dependent, male and female rats received 7 daily subcutaneous...

Adapting evidence-based program “CATCH My Breath” for the youth vaping epidemic in Oregon’s LGBTQ+ population

Creator:: Bhupalam, Ratna
Abstract:: In the United States, rates of youth vaping are alarmingly high. In 2018, the U.S. Surgeon General declared youth vaping as an epidemic (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2022b). However, LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately affected. In 2021, current e-cigarette use among high schoolers was 16% with heterosexual students...

Expression of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor in Kisspeptin Neurons: A Potential Model For Positive Feedback

Creator:: Rayzman, Noa
Abstract:: Estradiol (E2) plays a role in positive and negative feedback mechanisms of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in female mammals. These mechanisms are regulated by two different populations of kisspeptin (KP)-producing neurons: anteroventral periventricular (AVPV) neurons, which are stimulated by E2, and arcuate (arc) neurons, which are inhibited by E2. AVPV...

Evaluating larval size and survival after probiotic addition in Pacific oyster larvae

Creator:: Grant, Ian
Abstract:: Oysters are a large part of the American aquaculture market, and the oyster farming industry was valued at over 1 billion dollars in 2021. However, oyster farmers often face issues surrounding the mortality rates of their stock. One cause of this is infections caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor), a bacterium...
