“Red Light, Yellow Light!”: Evaluating the Anti-Listerial Potential of Bacillus Isolate Metabolites Using a High-Throughput Chromogenic Assay”

Creator:: Johnson, Taylor S.
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes contamination continues to pose challenges for the food industry and there is demand for effective methods of food preservation and protection that can also be considered clean label. A promising source of antilisterial compounds may be sourced from bacteria that produce novel byproducts. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified...

Silviculture Impacts and Population Genomics of Coniferiporia sulphurascens, the Causal Agent of Laminated Root Rot

Creator:: McMurtrey, Shawn
Abstract:: Within the Pacific Northwest, USA, root diseases of conifers are a major forest health concern. These diseases are primarily caused by basidiomycete fungi. These fungal associates play a vital role in carbon sequestration but also have a significant negative economic impact within the timber industry. As a result, research on...

Parasitoid wasps of Douglas-fir Needle Midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae Condrashoff,1961) larvae in two Christmas tree farms, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Voyvot, Saliha
Abstract:: Douglas-fir needle midge (Contarinia pseudotsugae, Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a native invasive species in Pacific Northwest Christmas tree farms, seed orchards, and nurseries where Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) is present. Douglas-fir needle midge (DFNM) causes discoloration and galls on the needles, thereby it affects the market value of the Christmas...

Effect of Genotype and Environment on Organic Winter and Spring Naked Barley Composition and Food Functionality

Creator:: Bunting, Jordyn S.
Abstract:: Naked barley is a rich source of fiber and phytonutrients but is not widely consumed by humans. The author contends that increasing population-wide consumption of wholegrain naked-barley would accrue a net positive public health benefit by helping to increase total fiber and phytonutrient consumption. Many of the leading causes of...

Use of Organoleptic Methodologies to Evaluate Wine Oligosaccharides and Wines made from Grapevine Red Blotch Virus Positive Vines Subjected to Various Vineyard Management Practices

Creator:: Hoffman, Samuel
Abstract:: The human senses can be used as analytical tools to evaluate many different aspects of our daily lives. The use of our senses through organoleptic methods offers unique and powerful insights into the characteristics of different stimuli. Due to the unique function of the different sensory organs we use to...

An Agent-Based Simulation for Emergency Warning Dissemination in a Multiplex Social Network

Creator:: Koll, Charles D.
Abstract:: The variety of natural disasters provide different sets of characteristics and properties with unique challenges. One significant difference between hazard types is prewarning lead time, the amount of time individuals have from a potential warning to the disaster occurring. Rapid onset disasters may not provide an official warning about a...

Approaches to The Optimization of Honey-Based Fermentations

Creator:: Kartik, Kritika
Abstract:: The fermentation of honey-based musts has been a feature of civilization for millennia. Typically comprised of 75-90% (w/w) simple (i.e. fermentable) sugars, the glucose and fructose present are readily fermented by either pitched or adventitious micro-organisms. Nevertheless, despite its venerable heritage, honey-based fermentations are prone to inconsistency, and it is...

Sediment Deposition Characteristics in Shallow Saturation Excess Overland Flow with Application to Bioswales and Construction of a Novel Bioswale Design for Improved Contaminant Removal from Stormwater

Creator:: Wells, Jacqueline R.
Abstract:: Over the last two decades, urban stormwater management has grown to include green infrastructure, such as bioswales. These systems were primarily designed to mitigate hydraulic peaking during rainstorms but were also found to remove particulate and dissolved contaminants. However, little is known about the fate of these particulate contaminants after...

Exploring Volcano-Tectonic Connections in Cascadia – Temporal Linkages between Tephra Deposition and Megathrust Earthquakes

Creator:: Gutierrez, Joel C.
Abstract:: Explosively erupting volcanoes and megathrust earthquakes (Mw 8+ magnitude) occur at subduction zones and adjacent volcanic arcs. Volcanic eruptions are observed occurring close in time to megathrust earthquakes in the historical record from at least the 18th century CE to present in locations globally, including Japan in 1707 CE (Chesley...

Metabolic Implications of Red Raspberry Polyphenol Supplementation in High Fat-Fed C57BL/6J Mice

Creator:: Pierce, Gavin W.
Abstract:: Objective: Red raspberries are rich in polyphenols and fiber, relatively low in sugar compared with other fruits, and have been demonstrated to have favorable effects on energy homeostasis in mice. However, it has been unclear precisely which compounds within red raspberries possess the greatest bioactivity, and their mechanism of action....
