Exploring Embodied Gender Identities in Steven Universe

Creator:: Painter, Stephanie
Abstract:: Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...

Understanding the economic benefits of tidal wetlands restoration

Creator:: Shaw, Graham R.
Abstract:: Habitat restoration projects are vital for recovering ecosystems, but they can be expensive. One way to help justify the price tag is to value the economic benefits provided by the restored habitat. The issue is that many ecosystem services and the flow of benefits they produce are complex, requiring careful...

Shell Boring Polychaetes and the Oregon Oyster Aquaculture Industry: Spatial Distribution, Regulatory Actions, and Stakeholder Engagement

Creator:: Considine, Megan E.
Abstract:: Shell-boring polychaetes pose economic risks for oyster aquaculture industries as they reduce the aesthetic quality of oyster products by creating unsightly mud-filled blisters on the inside of the shell. Recently there has been a reported uptick in infested oysters on commercial farms along the west coast of the US, which...

The Environmental, Economic, and Social Factors that Contribute to the Importance of the Pacific Razor Clam (Siliqua patula) Fishery for Oregon Coastal Communities: A Northern Oregon Case Study

Creator:: Baker, Laura C.
Abstract:: Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula) are narrow oblong bivalves that can be found in sandy habitats along the western coast of the United States, from Alaska (Aleutian Islands) to southern California (Pismo Beach). In Washington state, the razor clam fishery has been documented to be an important contributor to the...

Development and broad application of a mass spectrometry based metabolomics platform

Creator:: Kirkwood, Jay Steven
Abstract:: Metabolomics is a comprehensive analysis of small molecules, or metabolites, in a system. Metabolomics is a hypothesis-generating experiment and offers an unbiased analysis of cell metabolism that can aid in the understanding of fundamental biological processes. Metabolomics is widely and broadly applicable in the biological sciences and has been used...

Soil compaction in central Oregon volcanic ash soils and the subsequent effects on residual ponderosa pine growth

Creator:: Parker, Robert T.
Abstract:: Although previous research in central Oregon has shown soil compaction can lead to a decline in site productivity, the subject is not understood well enough to predict the growth changes resulting from a given level of soil compaction. A study was initiated to relate the basal area, height and volume...

Characterization of the Mechanisms of Action and Molecular Targets of Hop-derived Flavonoids in the Mitigation of Obesity-related Metabolic Impairments

Creator:: Paraiso, Ines L.
Abstract:: Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease resulting from excessive energy intake compared to energy expenditure. The excess energy is mostly stored as fat in enlarged adipocytes, but some lipids may infiltrate other organs such as the liver to form ectopic fat. Adipose tissue and ectopic fat produce and secrete a...

Vegetative effects of RNAi-suppression of the poplar homolog of LEAFY in the field

Creator:: Jacobson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Due to public and regulatory restrictions, genetic containment technology is critical for research and development of transgenic trees in forestry. A multi-year field trial demonstrated that the RNAi-LFY construct successfully induces sexual sterility in 6K10 poplar (Populus alba) without visible effects on vegetative development. However, its limited number of replicates...

Functional Characterization and Classification of Genes Essential to Flower Induction, Flower Development, and Seed Development in Populus and Eucalyptus

Creator:: Elorriaga, Estefania
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of four studies of Populus and Eucalyptus biotechnology and genomic science: 1) induction of floral sterility by tapetal expression of the ribonuclease Barnase in Populus; 2) CRISPR Cas9-mediated gene editing targeting LEAFY (LFY) and AGAMOUS (AG) homologs in Populus; 3) induction of floral sterility by CRISPR Cas9...

MCNP 6 Simulations of Short-Lived, Low-Yield Fission Byproducts, Gamma-Ray Spectrometry, and their Comparison to Natural Uranium Measurements for the Evaluation of Available Evaluated Nuclear Data Files

Creator:: Jeffries, Tanner D.
Abstract:: Natural uranium samples were irradiated in-core for 7 seconds using the pneumatic rabbit system within the TRIGA Mark II Reactor at Oregon State University, and then used to generate a gamma-ray spectrum with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The irradiated sample was simulated in Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), a...
