  • Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

    Creator:
    Arnold, Holly Kristin
    Abstract:
    The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

  • The perversity and politics of the 1872 Mining Law

    Creator:
    Billington, Gerard
    Abstract:
    Though inconsistent with many economic standards for resource policy, the Mining Act of 1872 is still a valid management priority on federal lands throughout the western U.S. When the Law was enacted, its stated objective was to promote private development of federally held minerals. However, the Act's free access provisions,...

  • The Gut Microbiome Drives Benzo[a]pyrene's Impact on Zebrafish Behavioral Development

    Creator:
    Sieler, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...

    Abstract:
    This study investigated the private costs to individual households of large-lot zoning policies. The study asked whether typical zoning ordinances create shortages of small lots or small structures and, if so, what the magnitude of the resultant welfare loss is. The hypotheses were suggested by a theoretical model developed to...

  • The analysis of stone and sand gravel statistics for selected counties in Oregon

    Creator:
    Walsh, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    The Minerals Yearbook and the Census of Minerals Industries' statistics lack detail, completeness, and accuracy concerning stone and sand and gravel in Oregon and are therefore deficient in their utility. The lack of detail and completeness causes extreme difficulty in comparing varied field-checked statistics. The inaccuracy of the data concerning...

  • Suppression of cellular immune responses by Candida albicans

    Creator:
    Rivas Espinoza, Victor G.
    Abstract:
    Experimental infection of mice with Candida albicans leads to significant suppression of cell mediated immune responses. We have characterized the nature of this candida-induced suppression with formalin killed Candida albicans (FKCA) in the yeast and mycelia' phase. Mice (BALB/c or C57B1/6J) treated with FKCA exhibited a reduction in the T-cell...
