The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
Azaspiracid-1, a novel marine toxin that contains 9 rings and 20 stereogenic centers, has drawn considerable attention from synthetic groups worldwide due to its structural complexity, which includes a unique trioxabisspiroketal fused to a tetrahydrofuran ring (ABCD rings), a piperidine-tetrahydrofuran spiroaminal system fused to a 2,9-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane system (FGHI rings), a...

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...

Relieving phosphorus loading is a key management tool for controlling Lake Erie eutrophication. During the
1960s and 1970s, increased phosphorus inputs degraded water quality and reduced central basin hypolimnetic
oxygen levels which, in turn, eliminated thermal habitat vital to cold-water organisms and contributed to the
extirpation of important benthic macroinvertebrate...
The fatty acids of coho salmon were identified and then a study
was conducted to determine the effects of exercise on the fatty acids
of salmon forced to swim against water velocities of 52, 54, 56, and
59 cm/sec, The shorter and lighter salmon were less competent at
a given...
