Gender-Dependent Mechanisms of Alpha-Tocopherol Protection from Benzo[a]pyrene Exposure in Rats

Creator:: Crimp, Caitlin A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), are environmental pollutants linked to increased disease susceptibilities. Alpha-Tocopherol (αT) supplementation decreases B[a]P-DNA adducts in smokers, particularly women; but the mechanism is unknown. To test the hypothesis that αT protection from B[a]P exposure is gender-dependent, male and female rats received 7 daily subcutaneous...

What influences the worldwide genetic structure of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)?

Creator:: Alexander, Alana, Steel, Debbie, Hoekzema, Kendra, Mesnick, Sarah L., Engelhaupt, Daniel, Kerr, Iain, Payne, Roger, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: The interplay of natural selection and genetic drift, influenced by geographic isolation, mating systems and population size, determines patterns of genetic diversity within species. The sperm whale provides an interesting example of a long-lived species with few geographic barriers to dispersal. Worldwide mtDNA diversity is relatively low, but highly structured...

Tracking North Pacific Humpback Whales To Unravel Their Basin-Wide Movements

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel M., Mate, Bruce R., Baker, C. Scott, Hayslip, Craig E., Follett, Thomas M., Steel, Debbie, Lagerquist, Barbara A., Irvine, Ladd M., and Winsor, Martha H.
Abstract:: In 2014, Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a multi-year project to study humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrations in the North Pacific Ocean using satellite tracking technology in combination with genetic and photo-identification (photo-ID) analyses. The study is highly relevant to management, given the need for new information arising from the...

Abundance of humpback whales in Oceania using photo-identification and microsatellite genotyping

Creator:: Constantine, Rochelle, Jackson, Jennifer A., Steel, Debbie, Baker, C. Scott, Brooks, Lyndon, Burns, Daniel, Clapham, Phillip, Hauser, Nan, Madon, Benedicte, Mattila, David, Oremus, Marc, Poole, Michael, Robbins, Jooke, Thompson, Kirsten, and Garrigue, Claire
Abstract:: Estimating the abundance of long-lived, migratory animals is challenging but essential for managing populations. We provide the first abundance estimates of endangered humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae from their breeding grounds in Oceania, South Pacific. Using fluke photo-identification (1999−2004, n = 660 individuals) and microsatellite genotypes (1999−2005, n = 840 individuals),...

Laws, Regulations and Action Plans for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances found in Michigan drinking water supplies

Creator:: Whitley, Jamie M.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have emerged in the last half century as concerning global contaminants. PFASs have been found in drinking water systems causing negative health impacts for those who rely on this as their primary source of drinking water. PFASs are man-made industrial chemicals composed of carbon chains...

Wind Energy Siting in Kittitas County, Washington

Creator:: Naimoli, Stephen
Abstract:: Increasing renewable energy development is often seen as an essential tool for combating global climate change, yet despite widespread support in theory, renewable energy often faces problems at the implementation stage. In the state of Washington, where voters have expressed a desire for greater renewable energy by mandating that 15%...

White racial identity development in transitional space : Discourse and praxis among Christian teacher educators

Creator:: Harris, Gennie S.
Abstract:: This research examines two questions: 1) What stories do Christian teacher educators tell about their own White racial identity development? and 2) Is there an impact of studying White racial identity development on the praxis of Christian teacher educators? If so, in what ways? The researcher began the project with...
