Use of extractable lipofuscin as an age biomarker to determine age structure of ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis) populations in west coast estuaries

Creator:: Cassidy, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Determining age in crustaceans is inherently imprecise because they molt periodically and do not retain hard structures throughout their lifespan. Morphological measurements, such as carapace length, are often used to estimate age because methods for direct ageing do not exist. However, variability in individual growth rate and molt frequency can...

An Integrated Approach to the Investigation of Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Burrowing Thalassinidean Shrimps in a U.S. West Coast Estuary

Creator:: Bosley, Katelyn Marie
Abstract:: Two indigenous species of burrowing shrimp inhabit and often dominate the intertidal zone of estuaries along the US West Coast, the ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, and the blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis. Both species are considered ecosystem engineers and play a role in maintaining estuarine health and ecosystem function. They...

Drivers of Euphausiid Abundance and Biomass in the Kitimat Fjord System, BC Canada

Creator:: Qualls, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Euphausiids are recognized as essential components of marine food webs throughout the world’s oceans due to their role as prey for many species including whales, seabirds, and commercial fishes. The Kitimat Fjord System is an important fisheries area and is the only fjord habitat on the British Columbia coast that...

Advancing forced draft biomass cookstove technology with computational fluid dynamics modeling

Creator:: Cassidy, Liam J
Abstract:: Today, billions of people are limited to using biomass-fueled traditional fires as a primary energy source for cooking and purification of drinking water. Reliance on open burning of biomass leads to exposure to high levels of household air pollution which has been estimated to claim over 1.5 million lives annually,...

The Safety and Use of Cannabidiol Products in Dogs and Cats: A Literature Review

Creator:: Parker, Cassidy R.
Abstract:: This literature review aims to discuss the safety and use of cannabidiol (CBD) products for dogs and cats. The most prominent issue with CBD products for pets is the limited amount of resources and information available to the veterinary community. Another consideration for the control of CBD on the market...

Adaptation of a Self-Implemented HIV Test Among Adolescent Youth in Tanzania

Creator:: Huun, Cassidy
Abstract:: HIV testing among high risk adolescents in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is challenging due to poor access to test sites and AIDS-related social stigma. We adapted the OraQuick HIV Test, a self-implemented test (SIT), for low literacy youth with no internet access. To compensate for poor literacy, a picture instruction...

The effect of burrowing mammals on the hydrology of a drained riparian ecosystem

Creator:: Cassidy, James Richard
Abstract:: Many species of rodents and insectivores live in subterranean burrows in soils throughout the world. The soil surface perforations of burrow entrances are often connected to complex, subsurface tunnel networks. Burrow entrances and associated subsurface tunnel networks represent a link between surface and subsurface ecological function. Anecdotal observations of surface-water...

The Ecology and Epidemiology of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae in Central Oregon Carrot Seed Production Systems

Creator:: Baldino, Katelyn D.
Abstract:: Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae (Xhc) is an epiphytic, plant pathogenic bacterium that causes the disease bacterial blight of carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus). Infection with Xhc can result in blighting of leaves and umbels and reduce quality and yield of carrot seed crops. Carrot production in the United States approaches...

Synchronized Cellular Mechanosensing due to External Periodic Driving

Creator:: Chase, Katelyn J.
Abstract:: The response of cells to periodic driving is important for many biological processes, particularly blood flow and heart functioning. Our research analyzes the collective shear stress response of fibroblast cells due to a periodic driving frequency. When cells experience shear stress, they release calcium into the cytosol. To quantify the...
