What Do We Mean by "Justice"?: An Examination of How Justice is Conceptualized in K-12 Mathematics Education

Creator:: Brunner, Megan E.
Abstract:: Issues of injustice in society (e.g. racism, classism, sexism, ableism) are perpetuated in and through educational opportunities, including mathematics learning (Freire, 1970/2000). Those that are committed to disrupting the interlocking systems that create disparities and oppression in mathematics education are considered to be “pursuing justice.” Pursuit of justice can involve...

Status of the European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas, in Oregon and Washington coastal Estuaries. Report for 2020 and 2021

Creator:: Yamada, Sylvia Behrens, Royer, Cameron, Schooler, Shon, Fisher, Jennifer, Randall, Andrea, Buffington, Chelsey, Stote, Alex, and Akmajian, Adrianne
Abstract:: The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has persisted in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990s. A strong year class arrived in the Davidson Current during the 1998 El Niño, but numbers decreased and remained below 1 per trap per day until the arrival of the 2015-2016 El...

Luteinizing Hormone Receptor Expression in Canine Lymphoma, Mastocytoma, and Hemangiosarcoma

Creator:: Zwida, Khawla H.
Abstract:: Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the secretion of gonadal steroid hormones (testosterone in males and estrogen/progesterone in females) and is under negative feedback from gonadal hormones. In gonad-intact dogs, LH is secreted in low amplitude pulses of concentrations under 1 ng/mL; except for the day of the LH surge in females...

Molecular Signaling Patterns of the Articular Cartilage and Marginal Transition Zone in Foals with Osteochondrosis

Creator:: Marchant, Liz
Abstract:: Osteochondrosis (OC) is a developmental orthopedic disease that results from a disruption to normal endochondral ossification in the articular-epiphyseal growth complex. In mammals, the hedgehog pathway and growth factor signaling are essential to this process. Previous studies in yearling horses with OC have shown upregulation of Indian hedgehog and insulin-like...

The Impact of Housing First on Homeless Housing and Mental Health Outcomes

Creator:: Foster, Kevin H.
Abstract:: This paper is a literature review and analysis of the housing policy known as Housing First. Under said policy, homeless individuals are housed prior to requisite addiction and mental health services. The literature encompasses multiple randomized controlled trials, as well as broader observational studies on Permanent Supportive Housing. The studies...

Seismic Performance of Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Columns Including Soil Structure Interaction

Creator:: Parson, Lance
Abstract:: There are many existing bridges around the world that were designed without consideration for seismic effects. Many of these bridges were designed before modern earthquake engineering design standards and practices existed and thus are expected to perform poorly during strong ground shaking. Common structural deficiencies are found in their reinforced...

Divergence Reduction and Dependency Management in GPU Programs using Asynchronous Work Scheduling

Creator:: Cuneo, Braxton
Abstract:: With continuing improvements in performance and capability, GPU processing has gained significant and growing interest across science and industry. With this interest, research has increasingly focused upon methods of processing algorithms with stochastic, non-uniform branching while maintaining low divergence. Central among these methods is thread-data remapping (TDR), whereby data is...

The Politics of Homophobia: Examining the Intersection of Political Expediency and Nazi Ideology

Creator:: Varela, C. Alexander
Abstract:: Homosexual men in Nazi Germany experienced legal and social oppression that was rooted in both the cultural homophobia of Twentieth Century Germany and the existential homophobia of high-ranking Nazi officials. However, the Nazi Regime’s enforcement of homonegative policy was not unilateral, often ignoring the actions of members of Nazi-affiliated groups....

Practical Reinforcement Learning for Bipedal Locomotion

Creator:: Dao, Jeremy
Abstract:: Reinforcement learning has emerged as a popular tool for solving control tasks, with multiple works focusing on the complex and dynamic task of locomotion. However, the naive application of reinforcement learning to this problem often produces maladaptive policies that exploit the model or reward function. This results in behavior that...
