Oregon serves as an interesting case study for the success of feminist mobilization in the 1970s, yet demonstrates how legislation did not immediately change society’s deep rooted assumptions about gender, family roles, and sexual violence.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of Health Education for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (HEMS) on increasing physical activity (PA) behavior and constructs of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), such as outcome expectations, self-efficacy, social support, and goal achievement in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Results have shown there is little translational...
The science of how people interact socially with robots is still fairly young. One area of ongoing study is how people figure out the way the robot works -- that is, form a "mental model" of the robot. We are especially ignorant of how this happens over time, starting with...

This essay grows from John Dewey’s insistence that “Democracy is a form of government only because it is a form of moral and spiritual association.”— a form of community. Our democracy is guided by laws, and we are citizens of a free society, but, following Dewey, our freedom should end...
In Heart of Darkness and The Good Soldier, Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford employ the narrative subjectivity inherent in their Impressionist technique to provide insight into the often-irrational processes through which political and individual identities are constructed through narrative. Contrary to traditional readings of Impressionism as a strictly aesthetic...
We live in a world today where it doesn’t come as a surprise to hear about another girl being roofied at a college party, nor is it shocking to find out about how your friend was sexually harassed by an older man at work. Women are taught how to avoid...

INTRODUCTION: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been shown to possess relative strengths in processing visual stimuli as opposed to verbal stimuli (Tissot & Evans, 2003). Therefore, instructional strategies that use visual means and presentations are recommended over the traditional (verbal) instruction. The effectiveness of video modeling has been...
The Community Engagement Core of OSU's Superfund Research Program aims to increase cultural capacity among university scientists while simultaneously supporting research focused on reducing health disparities for Pacific Northwest Tribes originating from harmful chemical exposures in the environment.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD or autism) is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by deficits in social skills, communication and repetitive or restricted interests. Research indicates that young children with autism experience delayed infant motor milestones resulting in deficits of fine and gross motor skills. The purpose of this larger study,...
STEM education is delivered to K12 audiences by Pre-college Programs across the nation, many of which serve underrepresented and underserved students as part of their core missions. While there is robust attention to STEM curriculum development and college connection events in such programs, few have social-cultural aspects of learning as...
The growth of a plant’s root system is essential for its survival. Preliminary observations suggest that a protein complex called the exocyst may play a role in the development of the root system by facilitating the growth of roots and root hairs. Previous work discovered a protein that potentially interacts...

- Collagen fibers are found in 25% of the whole body
protein content. They are highly adhesive to cells and
can be used as scaffold proteins that can promote cell
growth and be used to capture cells.
- In our lab, we use collagen to capture cancer cells in
order...
We developed an integration-based line detection algorithm. Existing line detection methods such as the Hough Transformation (HT) and its variants are insensitive to image noise. The reason is that HT finds lines by calculating the gradient of the image and assumes that the region where the gradient is the steepest...
Judith Butler’s 1990 Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity shaped our current understandings of queer theory not only in the academic world, but all over America as the constitutional and social rights of the LGBT+ community are hotly debated. Butler’s theory claims that gender is performed through imitation...
