  • Effects of insecure attachment on marital interactions : examining the family stress model

    Creator:
    Wicks, Steven M.
    Abstract:
    This exploratory study posited that being in an insecure marriage would increase marital conflict and perceived relational aggression when the couple is experiencing economic constraints. The cross-sectional design assessed two groups of marriages: secure and insecure. A structural equation model using multiple group comparison tested the effect of each type...

  • Becoming birds: community scientists, place, and critical socio-ecoliteracy

    Creator:
    Wicks, Teresa O.
    Abstract:
    Community science (also called citizen science) has become an increasingly popular data collection technique for scientists researching nature at a large scale. Many ecologists have also looked to community science as a method for educating the public about science. Over the past several decades, researchers have attempted to define an...

  • Beyond the Birds and the Bees: A Study of Comprehensive Sex Education in Oregon High Schools

    Creator:
    Wicks, Katie J.
    Abstract:
    Oregon high schools are required to provide comprehensive sex education to students, but there is anecdotal evidence that this is not consistently being carried out across all schools. Despite the significant amount of literature that exists on the topic of sex education, there is a gap in regards to what...

  • Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

    Creator:
    Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...

  • Exploring Embodied Gender Identities in Steven Universe

    Creator:
    Painter, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...

  • Determination of Mass Flow Rate through Plain Mesh Wick and Nano- Structured Mesh Wick for the Design of Thermal Compressor Systems

    Creator:
    Uwaoma, Ifeanyi A.
    Abstract:
    Wicking action refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous or a structured surface via capillary action. This phenomenon is affected by surface geometry, such as the wick thickness and pore size of the wick, as well as fluid properties, such as viscosity and surface tension of the...

  • Describing the thermal regimes of two northeastern Oregon streams

    Creator:
    Raven, Sonja E.
    Abstract:
    Two tributaries of the south fork of the Burnt River, near Unity Oregon were studied during the summers of 2000 and 2001 to determine water heating and cooling patterns. Hourly temperature data were recorded for air, water, and soil parameters at four elevations 150m apart on Barney and Stevens Creeks....

  • Calcium-oxalate in sites of contrasting nutrient status in the Coast Range of Oregon

    Creator:
    Dauer, Jenny M.
    Abstract:
    Calcium (Ca) is an essential macronutrient that is increasingly recognized as a biogeochemical factor that influences ecosystem structure and function. Progress in understanding the sustainability of ecosystem Ca supply has been hampered by a lack of information on the various forms and pools of Ca in forest ecosystems. In particular,...

    Creator:
    Boulton, Nicholas M.
    Abstract:
    The Neutron radiography facility (NRF) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been modified to begin working on the non-destructive evaluation of concrete materials to study the early stages of shrinkage, cracking, and water transport of concrete during the curing process. The objective of this work is to investigate the efficiency...

  • Pool absorption of gas entrained by a plunging liquid jet

    Creator:
    Hauxwell, Gerald Dean
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model was developed to predict the absorption rate of a slightly soluble gas entrained by a plunging liquid jet. The single parameter of the model, the transfer factor, TF, was defined as the summation of the product of the mass transfer coefficient and interfacial area over all the...
