Defining the Reisz Transformation on the Unit Circle Using a Neumann Boundary Value Problem

Creator:: Nicolaysen, Cooper
Abstract:: This research was an attempt at gaining insight into the nature of the incompressibility conditions of the Navier-Stokes Equations on the Unit Circle. We realized the Riesz transformation is given in R^3 after taking the Fourier Transform of the Neumann Boundary Value problem, but this is not well defined on...

Development of a Antibacterial Disc Diffusion Assay to Differentiate Fusarin C from Non-Fusarin C activity in Early Screening of Mutant Fusarium graminearum Extracts

Creator:: Svendsen, Molly, Luelling, Sarah, Adpressa, D., Godbey, Aly, Belizi, Peter, Carlson, Caleb, Loesgen, S., Freitag, M., Smith, Kristina, and Gautschi, Jeff
Abstract:: The discovery of novel compounds with antibacterial properties continues to be critically important.3 One potential source of such compounds is the cryptic genome of fungi known to produce biologically active molecules. A kmt6 mutant of the cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum was previously developed through a histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase...

Development of a method to quantitatively measure arthrogenic muscle inhibition in the peroneals

Creator:: Nelson, Whitley F., Huang, Yu-Lun, Johnson, Samuel T., and Norcross, Marc F.
Abstract:: After a joint injury, arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) leads to decreased neuromuscular control and strength, as neural inhibition prevents volitional activation of the entire motor neuron pool. Traditional rehabilitation techniques such as strength training are unable to effectively reduce AMI and there is a need to identify interventions that can...

Development of a new molecular diagnostics tool for Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Creator:: Fuller, Skylar, Savory, Elizabeth, Weisberg, Alex, and Chang, Jeff
Abstract:: Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes the economically important plant disease, crown gall. These galls are the result of abnormal growth that manifests itself on either the root or the stem and can be devastating for the ornamental plant industry. Introduction of A. tumefaciens to a nursery can be highly detrimental and thus...

Development of an instrument assessing ATV use among Oregon's youth on ranches and farms

Creator:: Iggulden, Kathryn G., White, David, and Bethel, Jeff
Abstract:: During the 1980s the sales and use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) was on the rise. Many people used them for recreation, while others started using them on their ranch or farm for work-related purposes. As a result, morbidity and mortality rates also began to climb. It became apparent that the...

Developmental effects of micro- and nanoscale tire particles and recycled rubber on zebrafish

Creator:: Mottern, Taylor H.
Abstract:: Plastics have become an essential part of everyone lives, found in almost every product made today. Tires only make up a fraction of these products but as their use increasing so does the microplastics that flake off. Many studies have evaluated the toxic effects of tire particles on aquatic environments...

Diet and color polymorphism in the sea star, Pisaster ochraceus

Creator:: Dixson, Paul
Abstract:: Pisaster ochraceus occurs in a variety of colors; the major hues being orange, brown, and purple. Harley et al. (2006) found that in areas on the open Pacific coast, where Mytilus californianus was present, less than 10% of the population of P. ochraceus were purple whereas in areas of the...

Differential Framing of an Instructional Lesson Reduces Self-Efficacy and Affects Learning

Creator:: Wolgamott, Taylor and Sanchez, Christopher A.
Abstract:: Previous research has suggested that how a task is framed can have a significant impact on subsequent performance. These effects seem to be especially important in educational settings where learners are already self-conscious about their likelihood to succeed. Difficult subjects have shown to cause cognitive disequilibrium when confronting dead ends...

Diurnal variations in the corrosiveness and acidification of porewater and its effects on populationdynamics of marine bivalves

Creator:: Miller, Cale A.
Abstract:: The undergradtuate research project was the completion, manipulation and assessment of a population model. The stage based population model assessed the late larval and juveniles stages of the hard shell clam Mercenaria mercenaria. There were seven class sizes input into the model starting with pediveligers and ending with juveniles at...

Diver observations of community structure on a subarctic marine artificial reef in Whittier, Alaska

Creator:: Levy, Charlotte
Abstract:: Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska, and artificial reefs (AR) are an increasingly popular tool for mitigating habitat loss. Although well studied in tropical and temperate locations, less is known about AR efficacy in high latitude locations. Since ARs are heavily influenced by ecological...

Do Fearful Facial Expressions Capture Attention Involuntarily?

Creator:: Taylor, Robinson and Lien, Mei-Ching
Abstract:: It has been claimed that stimuli signaling threat are processed rapidly and draw our attention (e.g., Fox, Russo, & Dutton, 2002). Similarly, it has been argued that expressions of fear have a strong pull on our attention because they signal threat (e.g., Phelps, Ling, & Carrasco, 2006; Vuilleumier & Schwartz,...

Do Older Parents have More Self-Regulated Children?

Creator:: Harper, Kevin G. and McClelland, Megan M.
Abstract:: Strong self-regulation in early childhood is a key predictor of academic and social success from elementary school through college (McClelland et al., 2012). This study analyzed the influence of the age of the child’s parent on the child’s self-regulation as measured by the HTKS (Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders) measure. Relations between children’s self-regulation...

Does teacher-child relationship quality predict observed child engagement of teacher?

Creator:: McClain, Joanna L.
Abstract:: The quality of relationships in early childhood have lasting effects on children’s academic and behavioral success. Teacher report is the most widely used measure to assess the quality of the teacher-child relationship, however teachers are often biased by the child’s behavior. Observed quality of the relationship may illustrate differences in...

Creator:: Myers, Breanne, Voigt, Bradi, Chestnut, Tara, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: In the US, significant research is ongoing regarding the interactions of pesticides with species and processes within wetland ecosystems. For example, the effect of such pollutants on amphibian survival and physiology has been an area of focused research. Negative impacts of pesticides to non-target organisms (e.g. amphibians) have been observed....
