  • Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

    Creator:
    Bell, Jimmy D.
    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

    Abstract:
    Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are small invasive flies that in the past five years (2009-2014) invaded berry and stone fruit production regions in Europe and the Americas. Evolutionary adaptations, biological traits, and anthropogenic factors have contributed to its current status as a global pest. Females oviposit eggs into ripe...

  • An analysis into the U.S. healthcare system's ability to handle demand, and the impact of tax subsidies on patient outcomes

    Creator:
    Grant, Sarina
    Abstract:
    Since the 1970s, the United States government has offered federal tax subsidies for employer-sponsored health insurance. The tax exclusions for contributions to Employer Sponsored Insurance (ESI) has become the largest subsidy for private health insurance. These tax subsidies make up 21.4% of our national healthcare expenditures and 1.4% of the...

  • The Relationship Between Consumer Lending and Economic Growth

    Creator:
    Luckman, Andrew B.
    Abstract:
    For centuries economists have attempted to explain what causes the ebb and flow of the economy. None thus far have been able to perfectly explain the nuances of the economy as a whole. In this paper, I explore the relationship between consumer lending volume and economic growth. Consumer lending is...

  • Factors Affecting Black-footed Ferret Populations within the Great Plains Region of North America: A Case Study

    Creator:
    Hodges, Rodney J.
    Abstract:
    The black-footed ferret is a meso-predator within the Great Plains region of North America. Before the 1900s, black-footed ferret populations were self-sustaining in large ecological patches throughout the geographical range of the Great Plains. During the 1900s, various factors such as the systematic extermination of prairie dogs (the primary food...

  • Beaver ecology in Bridge Creek, a tributary to the John Day River

    Creator:
    Maenhout, Julie L. (Harper)
    Abstract:
    The American beaver (Castor canadensis) was nearly extirpated by the late 1800's due to the fur trade. Due to reintroduction efforts, it now occupies much of its former range. Beavers are a keystone species and ecosystem engineers, greatly influencing riparian and instream habitats through selective harvesting of plant materials and...

    Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) are important economically, ecologically, and culturally as an indigenous species in western Oregon. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) observed declines in black-tailed deer populations since the late 1980’s and attributes these declines to reduction in quality and availability of habitat, following the...

  • Media Proliferation and Partisan Selective Exposure

    Creator:
    Chan, Jimmy and Stone, Daniel F.
    Abstract:
    The number of Internet news media outlets has skyrocketed in recent years. We analyze the effects of media proliferation on electoral outcomes assuming voters may choose news that is too partisan, from an informational perspective, i.e. engage in partisan selective exposure. We find that if voters who prefer highly partisan...

    Abstract:
    This research explores and aligns a postmodern method in line with a theoretical lens of "strategic political queer/feminism" to understand the construction and positioning of the issue/ problem of same-sex marriage. The method takes shape through a theoretical framework that leads to a political maneuver opening access to the rights...
