In previous research in Europe, asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)
was found to be a potentially useful herbicide for controlling
broadleaf dock Rumex obtusifolius L. ) in permanent pastures.
Asulam was also reported to have a low margin of safety when used
on common pasture species. Field studies were conducted in western...
The grid geometry plays a vital role in the performance of gridded ion thrusters. It can dramatically impact the erosion rate and thrust. Designers push the limits of electric in-space propulsion by optimizing grid parameters through simulation. At the same time, computational models of plasma physics are intensive. A baseline...
The intention of this undergraduate research project was to design and build a fully functional high-vacuum chamber testing environment for use in the development of ion propulsion engines. This project was conducted in an effort to aid ongoing projects between the Deep Space Propulsion Group (DSPG) at Oregon State University...
A recipe as a piece of text can tell a variety of stories as well as any other. Using a feminist rhetorical analysis, I read my grandmother’s personal recipe journal to show that her writings contain valuable information about women’s lives in twentieth century Poland. Through the close examination of...
This study looks at how gendered language circulates affect in order to coerce gender binary conformity. I analyze the ways gendered phrases like “sit like a lady”, “don’t be a bitch”, and “man up” communicate binary gender expectations within a U.S. context, and what they have to do with larger...

Traditional archives have excluded marginalized people (women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people) from sharing their histories through socially just representations. Portrayals of oppressed people that do exist in traditional archives are from the lens of the white cis-heteronormative patriarchy, and justify a narrative of colonialism, oppression, and injustice. This...
Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...
Despite the now common usage of the term “girl”, there has been little call for pause and deeper analysis into what we actually mean when we use this term. In particular, animated film provides a wide scope of media texts that claim to focus on girlhood; but how do we...
Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...
