  • Cytokine expression in Danio rerio (zebrafish) in response to TLR-7 agonist - Imiquimod

    Creator:
    Paternostro, Kevin Alan
    Abstract:
    Utilizing Danio rerio (zebrafish) as a model organism has gained popularity recently, however a lack of research into their immune response pathways had led to the discovery of subclinical infections, and has potentially confounded results. We conducted a study to determine the cytokine expression from TLR activation in order to...

  • Native wildlife species (Pseudacris regilla) utilizing invasive-dominated habitat in a highly disturbed ecosystem

    Creator:
    Epperly, Haley K.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) is commonly encountered throughout the Pacific Northwest and can be an indicator for ecosystem health. At each life stage P. regilla utilizes a different habitat and therefore it is important to understand habitat use at all life stages to properly manage the ecosystem, however, few...

  • An Electrophysiological Study of Involuntary Attention Capture in a Go/No-go Paradigm

    Creator:
    Herdener, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined whether attention capture is driven by object saliency or contingent on top-down control setting using a go/no-go paradigm. Specifically, we investigated whether salient color singletons capture attention only when the target itself is also a singleton. We used a go/no-go task. Participants were told to search...

  • DNA Mismatch Repair-Dependent Suppression of Genotoxicity of Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide

    Creator:
    Kernan, Casey P.
    Abstract:
    DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays an important role in preserving genomic stability and reducing cancer risk. Environmental exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to contribute significantly to carcinogenesis. PAHs are found in food, air, water and soil and upon bioactivation can form diol epoxides which are electrophilic in...

  • Effects of Contemporary Forest Practices on Stream Nutrients, Temperature, and Periphyton in Small Headwater Streams

    Creator:
    Pimont, Cedric
    Abstract:
    Forest harvest practices can impact nutrient concentrations and stream temperatures, altering aquatic ecosystems. To better inform future sustainable forest resource management practices, quantifying the impact of current practices on water quality, particularly in headwater streams is important. In this study, I quantified monthly nitrate-nitrite (N) and orthophosphate (P) concentrations, 7-day...

  • Effective Signage to Manage Recreation at OSU’s Research Forests

    Creator:
    Walters, Corinne A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on creating effective signage for the Oregon State University College of Forestry Research Forests (OSU Research Forests). The OSU Research Forests are a unique setting because they offer space for research, class field trips, active timber harvest, and public recreation. The public interface requires the management at...

    Abstract:
    Endogenous circadian clock regulation is essential to normal rhythmicity, particularly the timing of hormone release in the brain. In the context of mammalian reproduction, a surge of a specific hormone, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), initiates a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is required for ovulation in...

    Abstract:
    Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored he danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...
