Quantifying the Effects of Acoustic Coupling on Advanced LIGO

Creator:: Banowetz, Katherine
Abstract:: The Laser Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, is built to observe gravitational waves as they propagate through space. Advanced LIGO is extremely sensitive to movements of the test mass as small as 10⁻²¹ m/√Hz , which allows many signals other than gravitational waves to be detected by the system. Pressure...

Co-design of a Jupyter Notebook for wood stove emissions analysis

Creator:: Schofield, Ryan
Abstract:: Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...

Downstream Rearing Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Upper Mainstem of the John Day River

Creator:: Scheu, Michael P.
Abstract:: Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) leave the natal reach at different times and move downstream at different rates which can increase their productivity by allowing them to utilize habitats on different temporal scales and spreading risk of localized stochastic events. This life history diversity can also allow fish to adapt...

The influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation on T cell fate

Creator:: Funatake, Castle J.
Abstract:: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds are well-recognized for their immunosuppressive activity, which is mediated through an intracellular receptor and transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Laboratory animals exposed to TCDD are less resistant to infection and have severely impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. This dissertation addressed the hypothesis that...

Science Education Through Comics: Improving Understanding of Current Marine Environmental Issues

Creator:: Schwarz, Zale
Abstract:: According to a 2017 Pew Research Study, 44% of adults in America say that they do not feel informed enough about science to understand news and new discoveries discussed on the media (Funk et al. 2019). This is concerning, because adults are not just passive consumers of media; among other...

Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

Creator:: Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
Abstract:: Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Phenology of particle size distributions and primary productivity in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (Station ALOHA)

Creator:: White, Angelicque E., Letelier, Ricardo M., Whitmire, Amanda L., Barone, Benedetto, Bidigare, Robert R., Church, Matthew J., and Karl, David M.
Abstract:: The particle size distribution (PSD) is a critical aspect of the oceanic ecosystem. Local variability in the PSD can be indicative of shifts in microbial community structure and reveal patterns in cell growth and loss. The PSD also plays a central role in particle export by influencing settling speed. Satellite-based...

Leaf processing behaviour in Atta leafcutter ants: 90% of leaf cutting takes place inside the nest, and ants select pieces that require less cutting

Creator:: Garrett, Ryan W., Carlson, Katherine A., Goggans, Matthew Scott, Nesson, Michael H., Shepard, Christopher A., and Schofield, Robert M. S.
Abstract:: Leafcutter ants cut trimmings from plants, carry them to their underground nests and cut them into smaller pieces before inoculating them with a fungus that serves as a primary food source for the colony. Cutting is energetically costly, so the amount of cutting is important in understanding foraging energetics. Estimates...

Sound and death in John Haines's poetry

Creator:: Noble, Darren L.
Abstract:: Poet John Haines is best known for his first book of poetry, Winter News, which was published in 1966. The book contains poems about the Alaskan landscape that surrounded Haines during his many years of living in Richardson, Alaska. The recurring motifs in his poems include hunting, trapping, the Arctic...
