Wedding Bells, Binaries and the Heterosexual Menace

Creator:: McNeill, Elizabeth
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...

Learning-based control and coordination of autonomous UAVs

Creator:: Bell, Adam R.
Abstract:: Uninhabited aerial vehicles, also called UAVs are currently controller by a combination of a human pilot at a remote location, and autopilot systems similar to those found on commercial aircraft. As UAVs transition from remote piloting to fully autonomous operation, control laws must be developed for the tasks to be...

Wildfire Severity Has a Minimal Influence on Pollen Diversity Used by Developing Mason Bees (Osmia lignaria) in Mixed Conifer Forest

Creator:: Bell, Nicole C. S.
Abstract:: Native bees are critically important organisms that support biodiversity and crop production via their pollination services. Wildfires in temperate conifer forests can increase bee abundance and flowering plant density due to increased light exposure, but little information is available regarding how wildfire severity influences provisioning to bee offspring, which is...

"As a family we are going to be here" : Mexican immigrant mothers' experiences with parenting in distinct community contexts

Creator:: Feeney, Sarah L.
Abstract:: Recent demographic studies have revealed a greater diversity in settlement patterns among Mexican immigrant families resulting in rapidly climbing populations of immigrants in new areas of the country, particularly in rural areas, while growth in established destinations has slowed. Host communities play an important role in families' acculturation processes and...

Respecting one’s abilities, or (post)colonial tokenism? : Narrative testimonios of faculty of color working in predominantly white community colleges

Creator:: Samano, Michael Luis
Abstract:: The purpose of this research project was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of faculty of color. More specifically, this project explores how diversity-related workload expectations impact faculty of color who work in predominantly white community colleges. Known by various descriptors, the term used in this research...

Driving simulation : a mechanism for understanding driver response to mobile barriers in work zones

Creator:: Swake, Joshua
Abstract:: Highway construction projects require temporary changes in roadway characteristics, such as the number of operational lanes, lane path, lane width, shoulder width, and posted speed limit. These modifications which are often temporary in nature have the potential to impact driving performance. Many research efforts have focused on developing standards to...

Wheeled Mobility Devices Performance and Passive Securement Systems

Creator:: Mather, Andrea
Abstract:: Wheeled mobility devices (WhMD) pose unique safety risks to users while riding public transportation. Unsecured or improperly secured WhMDs create safety concerns for other transit riders and operators. Tests using accelerometers and visual observations were conducted to understand how WhMD orientation and securement in articulated buses, streetcars, and light rail...

Consistency and effectiveness of advisory speeds: an evaluation of current posting techniques

Creator:: Rohani, Joshan W.
Abstract:: Crash rates are said to be nearly three times higher on curved sections than those on straight sections of rural roadways. As a result, advisory curve/speed signs are standard practice to mitigate these risks on sharp horizontal curves. The industry standard for determining appropriate and uniform speeds for such signs...

Asynthesis & act: the evental sublime in Badiou, Byron, and Barker

Creator:: Drury, Adam Marshall
Abstract:: Asynthesis & Act is a signiﬁcant intervention into the discourse of the sublime. Through a deep investigation of the critical metaphysics of Immanuel Kant, the ﬁrst chapter of this thesis puts forth the claim that the sublime is a radical experience that occasions a possibility for the individual to commit...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:: Mecham, Megan E.
Abstract:: Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...
