Vibrio tubiashii has been linked to disease outbreaks in molluscan species, including oysters, geoducks, and clams. In particular, oyster hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest have been plagued by intermittent vibriosis since 2006. Accurate detection of vibrios, including V. tubiashii, is critical to the hatcheries in order to allow for rapid...
Research poster for Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium 2019. Research was conducted with CURE funding in the Perez lab studying cellular senescence in the PS19 mouse model.
FishXing (fish crossing), a computer aided stream crossing culvert model designed to analyze fish passage through culverts was compared with results of an Oregon Department of Forestry fish passage monitoring report. FishXing was created at Humboldt State University through sponsorship from the US Forest Service, USDA, Stream Team, Six Rivers...
Nitrate (NO₃-) accumulation in water sources is a serious health and environmental concern. Common methods used to reduce NO₃- accumulation have one or more undesirable traits that limit their efficacy in large-scale decontamination. However, treatment of NO₃- electrochemically is a promising area of study because of the absence of toxic...
Novel broad-spectrum antimicrobials are a critical component of a strategy for combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In this
study, we explored the activity of the broad-spectrum antiviral compound ST-669 for activity against different intracellular bacteria
and began a characterization of its mechanism of antimicrobial action. ST-669 inhibits the growth of three different...
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a key component of the global climate system. Recent studies suggested a twentieth-century weakening of the AMOC of unprecedented amplitude (similar to 15%) over the last millennium. Here we present a record of O-18 in benthic foraminifera from sediment cores retrieved from the...
This paper investigates the benefit of various parallel processing
architectures for a Command and Control system for the Royal
Thai Air Force. Parallel processing has been shown to be useful
for air defense and air traffic control applications. Its advantages
are examined within the constraint imposed by the available
resources...
Jordan has a higher fertility rate (3.8) than the averages of countries similar in income to Jordan (2.2) and compared to the Middle East and North Africa region as a whole (2.8) (WHO, WB, UNICEF, & DHS, 2011). The findings of the 2009 Jordanian Population and Family Health Survey demonstrated...

Our laboratory group is studying the molecular target of a novel, broad-spectrum antiviral compound known as ST-669. This compound has activity against a variety of different viruses and also obligate intracellular bacteria in the genera Coxiella and Chlamydia. The goal of this thesis project was to help elucidate the mechanism...
