  • Feeling through Language: Tracing Affect in Gendered Language

    Creator:
    Moody, Jeana S.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • The Design of a High-Vacuum Chamber Testing Environment

    Creator:
    Robinson, Kimbert J.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

    Creator:
    Lee, Hyo
    Abstract:
    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,...

  • Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

    Creator:
    Kelly, Bryan R.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Girlhood reimagined : representations of girlhood in the films of Hayao Miyazaki

    Creator:
    Sabine, Karissa N.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Design of Ion Thruster Optics Simulator and a Neural Network Emulator

    Creator:
    Sable, Shital Dnyandeo
    Abstract:
    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...

  • OSU LGBTQ+ Community Film

    Creator:
    McConnell, Kiah
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Readability of waiver of liability forms used in collegiate intramural and recreational sports programs

    Creator:
    White, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Properly written waiver of liability forms can be an effective tool in decreasing injury liability of intramural and recreational sports programs. In order for a waiver to be effective, (i.e., held up in court), participants must not only read and sign the waiver, but they must understand it as well....

  • Life course perspective : a journey of participation in physical activity

    Creator:
    Li, Kin-Kit
    Abstract:
    A life course perspective provide a meta-theoretical framework to understand human development. This perspective is characterized by studying the changing lives within the changing environment (George, 2004). Building upon the literature in the psychosocial paradigm and ecological models, Manuscript 1 discusses the uniqueness and the practical importance of a life...

  • Physical activity among Chinese international students in American higher education : from quantitative and qualitative perspectives

    Creator:
    Yan, Zi
    Abstract:
    Chinese international students in American colleges and universities report low levels of physical activity involvement, which may limit them in terms of realizing their full human potential (i.e., cognitively, physically, socially). The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the psychosocial mechanisms as well as the sociocultural influences to understand...
