  • The Disinformation Dozen and Media Misinformation on Science and Vaccinations

    Creator:
    Mabrey, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the need for people to trust in medical science. With the need for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity but 30% have reported vaccine hesitancy, now more than ever do we need to redouble our efforts to ensure...

  • Predicting the Relationships between High School Characteristics and High School Community College Enrollment Rate Using the Oregon Promise.

    Creator:
    Murray-Jensen, Julie
    Abstract:
    Background: Legislators, policy-makers, and leaders in higher education and within communities, are increasingly turning to place-based scholarships, or “promise programs”, to encourage college enrollment and address growing public concerns regarding college affordability. One such program, the Oregon Promise, was implemented across the state of Oregon in the fall of 2016....

  • Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

    Creator:
    Devan-Song, E. Anne
    Abstract:
    Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

  • A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

    Creator:
    Geisler, Mark S.
    Abstract:
    Histones, as part of nucleosomes, are responsible for DNA packaging in chromosomes. They also affect DNA expression by a multitude of post-translational modifications, especially prevalent on the amino terminus of histones. Co-activator protein complexes “write”, “read”, or “erase” histone modifications, and in balance determine which sections of DNA are free...

    Creator:
    Xu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

  • A movement möbius: Intersecting dance and exercise science

    Creator:
    Cardinal, Bradley J. and Cardinal, Marita K.
    Abstract:
    Martha Grahm reputedly said, “a dancer is an ‘athlete of God’” (Theys, 2010). Yet dance and exercise and sport science (herein referred to as exercise science) are often viewed as unique entities, sometimes dividedly so. Our contention is that dance and exercise science mutually benefit when the two disciplines are...

  • Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

    Creator:
    Goddard, Amanda L.
    Abstract:
    Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

    Creator:
    Prive, Kathryn A.
    Abstract:
    Ecological restoration is needed to mitigate losses to biodiversity. Restoration success is enhanced through the use of native plant materials that are genetically diverse and locally adapted. Seed transfer zones have been developed to delineate geographic areas where native seed can be collected and distributed with reduced risk of maladaptation....

    Abstract:
    Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...
